Neptunus has appointed Tony Perfect as its new health and safety manager for the UK, bringing over 20 years of experience in the temporary structure sector.

For the past 14 years, Perfect ran his own consultancy, Amber Jacket, providing health and safety training and event safety management to the UK temporary structure industry, having previously worked as director of a Bristol-based marquee company. He has also acted as an advisor and auditor to MUTA, the UK’s trade association for marquees, tents and temporary structures, and previously worked with Neptunus on a contractual basis, including on Frieze London and Frieze Masters and this year’s British F1 Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Perfect said: “I’m delighted to be given the opportunity for a permanent role at Neptunus, one of Europe’s premier temporary structure organisations, who are involved in so many high-profile events across the UK every year.”

Ben Keast, managing director of Neptunus, said: “Tony is a highly respected and well-known figure within the temporary structure sector, and I am pleased to welcome him into our UK team. Tony has vast industry experience and has exceptional knowledge of health & safety legislation and the hands-on skills necessary to ensure our build crews and project management team continue to meet the highest possible standards of health & safety on all of our assignments.”

Founded nearly 90 years ago, Neptunus remains a family-run business with a head office in the Netherlands and divisions across the UK, Belgium, Germany, France, Poland and Austria, designing, manufacturing and delivering temporary structures.
