Our Mission
Our mission is to produce unrivalled experience and expertise to meet our client's needs by focusing on quality, safety and the drive to create the best outcome.
Our Vision
Our vision is to expand opportunities, for our services to become driven by innovation and the need to empower and connect communities.
Our Values
We aim to incorporate each of these values across our company. Whether through our interactions or how we deliver our services, our values are at the core of everything we do.
Safety
Vertical Access Ltd is nothing without our staff and ensuring their safety when working is integral to our operations. We ensure all of our operatives are fully trained and competent for the service they provide, reducing the level of risk as much as humanely possible. We pride ourselves in only accepting projects which uphold to our own levels of safety, as the services we provide can often be carried out at height or in confined spaces. Therefore, it is paramount to us that risk margins are minimised as much as possible for our operatives and our clients.

We strive to offer the best solutions to our client’s problems. Vertical Access uses our expertise and unprecedented experience across several sectors and industries, where we are consistent in quality control and assurance. We take great pride in delivering outcomes which leave maximum satisfaction for our clients, and we firmly believe we are only as good as our last job.
Innovation
From our active involvement with IRATA from as early as the 1990’s, Vertical Access Ltd has always strived on our ability to innovate and adapt within the Rope Access and Construction industry. Our team of experts from a variety of different backgrounds has allowed us to constantly be looking at how we can improve our approach from how we actively deliver our services to how we monitor and assess them.
Agility
It is always in our approach to work as closely with our clients as possible, to ensure a swift and efficient communication process. We work with clients from the design phase until after project completion, to guarantee all parties are satisfied with the level of work we provide. We use our careful and agile approach to create efficiency whilst maintaining our important safety standards.
