What our customers say about us:

Plaspertex Paint Company Ltd.

After a visit from HSE we soon realised we needed some professional help and guidance through different DSEAR issues raised by HSE.

Karl from Nova Vita was a recommendation from a friend of a friend, we literally didn’t know where to start looking for a suitable DSEAR adviser.

Karl was very quick to put minds at rest and superb at explaining situations/procedures in layman’s terms.

Hire him without hesitation!  Karl’s calm and effective way of dealing with whatever we threw at him gave us so much reassurance at quite frankly a stressful time.  Any questions we had, Karl was just a phone call away, if we left a message Karl would very quickly return our calls

I can quite honestly say that Karl is one of the most genuine/nicest/sincere guys we have ever had the pleasure to work with at Plaspertex.

Without question, having Karl on board will certainly pave the way for a smooth path to achieving your goals."
