Company History:

The three directors Paul Meadows, Stuart Power and Paul Morris have well over 50 years combined experience in local authority and private sector building control.

Prior to creating Salus they were all formerly employed with one of the first companies to be granted Approved Inspector status, so have great experience from the very early days of building control in the private sector, gaining a clear understanding of the needs and expectations of clients in the making of successful relationships that they could fully develop in their own way with Salus.

Following achievement of their own CIC approval in December 2002, they set up Salus head office in the pleasant rural setting of Sapcote, Leicestershire.

The offices in Wirral and then Hertfordshire were introduced soon after and due to further rapid growth and demand, additional offices have opened across the country, with eight strategic locations established by 2006 to provide the resources required to deliver our BenchmarQ™® Diamond rated service to clients.
