15 Years Strong. Still Climbing.
Access North is an independent height work and technical access specialist, founded in 2010 by Berenice and Daniel Northcott. Across 15 years of operation, we've maintained a 100% safety record working with facilities managers, estate managers and main contractors across the UK. That's not luck. That's what happens when you build everything around doing the job right.
Risk rarely sits at ground level. That's something we've known from day one and for 15 years, our clients have trusted us to reach the parts of their estates that are the hardest to access and too important to ignore.
What started as a husband-and-wife team has grown into one of the UK's trusted height work specialists, with a people-first philosophy at the heart of everything we do. The mission has never changed: put safety first, be honest, and do the job right.
A changing landscape
The industry looks very different now to how it did 15 years ago. Structures are more complex, regulations are tighter, and the pressure on facilities and estate managers to demonstrate compliance has never been greater.
Through all of it, our job has stayed the same: give our clients the clarity and evidence they need to make decisions with confidence.
Whether we're inspecting ETFE pillows, testing horizontal safetylines, or maintaining complex tensile fabric structures, we take care of the detail so you don't have to.
Driven by our people
Our success isn't just about the heights we reach. It's about the people who get us there.
From our specialist aftercare team to our technicians on the ropes, every one of our people cares about your business as much as their own. That's not something you can train into someone. It's just who they are and we're fortunate to have them.
15 years of diligent, meticulous work at height. A 100% safety record. That means everything to us.
Built on trust
Being a height work and access specialist means our clients rely on us for more than just the job itself. They rely on us for guidance, honest advice, and the reassurance that the right decision has been made - every time.
That trust takes years to build. We don't take it lightly.
What's next
We've spent 15 years guiding clients through complexity, keeping buildings maintained and people safe. We're not slowing down. We're still climbing, still listening, and still finding better ways to do this work properly.
To every client, partner, and team member who's been part of the journey: thank you. We're 15 years in, and we're only just getting started.
