Established in 2000, Infomatrix offers a host of web-based information-management software solutions, covering health and safety, audit and inspection, property, project management and performance tracking, and bespoke solutions.

Partner company of Laidler Associates, Safety Systems Technology Ltd has relocated to new premises in Halifax. The company says it can provide cost-effective engineering solutions for all machinery safety requirements.

Sales director Gary Trewhitt said: “Over the past couple of years we have seen excellent growth in the business and it became clear that in order to expand we would have to relocate to new premises. Our new facilities enable us to offer a wider range of services and have the ability to manage these services in-house.

“The launch of Guardsafe, our in-house guarding department, is a prime example. We can now offer a full machine-guarding service, including design, manufacture and installation.”
