Our Amazing Team

Isabelle Pryde is a professional down-to-earth, practical, and enthusiastic founder and managing director of SafeStaff Limited.

Back in 2014 she started SafeStaff (somewhat reluctantly – that’s another story… ) due to demand from business owners desperate for H&S Compliance support that they could understand.

She holds qualifications and many years of experience in Health and Safety, Adventure Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Farming, Contracting, Construction, Joinery and most importantly working with Business owners and their incredible people.

Being the overachiever she is, and a person who is constantly searching for better ways of doing things, she hates wasting time on pointless paperwork, she was fed up with manual clumsy time consuming paper-based H&S management systems, so in 2018 she built the “Safety Hub” a streamlined simple software solution for managing H&S in the workplace, and the rest is history, “our clients like it, their staff use it (it must be good!) and it means I can take so much better care of my clients”

Isabelle loves working with people and gets a buzz out of removing the negative stigma some people have about workplace health and safety. By listening to her clients, their people, their frustrations, and their successes she believes she can improve the systems that help people do things better, smarter, and most importantly safer.

“Hear something and you will forget, see something and you might remember but it’s not until you do something that you will understand…

Health and Safety has been an area of interest for Bryan for the last five years as he worked in the Education Sector as a Safety Manager. After completing a Graduate Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety from the Southern Institute of Technology in 2018, Bryan sought employment with Isabelle to further his practical understanding of how to implement safer systems in New Zealand. He continues to support SafeStaff as a respected and professional Health and Safety Advisor on a contract basis. 

SafeStaff has been a great fit, it’s a dynamic personal business that has a focus on working with business owners to provide and promote safe practice.

Bryans background and Qualifications are in Outdoor Education and Tourism within New Zealand. He has over 25 years of experience working for a variety of companies around the country including Blackwater Rafting, The Sir Edmund Hillary Outdoor Pursuits Centre, Tihoi Venture School and St Cuthberts Remote campus at Kahunui.

Bryan lives in Ōhope with his family and he Volunteers at the Ōhope Fire Station as a Fire Fighter, enjoying the recreational opportunities that the Bay offers from kayaking to Mountain biking. “I look forward to working with you to streamline and improve Health and Safety in your workplaces.”
