So who is Humphry Davy and why did we name our business after him!?

When it came to naming our business, we looked to the past and drew inspiration from an infamously resourceful figure.

Sir Humphry Davy (1778–1829) was an influential chemist and inventor during the Industrial Revolution. He was a man of science with a proclivity for imagination and big ideas that helped people!

He’s remembered for the notable Davy Lamp and his research into Laughing Gas. The Davy Safety Lamp was a groundbreaking creation that saved countless lives during the Industrial Revolution by not only illuminating the dark but allowing coal miners to monitor dangerous gas levels.

His experimental work with nitrous oxide was pivotal in pioneering pain relief and for its modern-day use as an anaesthetic. Davy even coined the term "laughing gas," a name most people still recognise today, made infamous for livening up parties of the era.

We like to think we’ve a little bit like Humphry Davy — Resourceful. Innovative. Creative.

Like Davy, we believe in creating solutions that focus on people, prevention and relief.

We’re here to illuminate risks and make managing your team and business a little brighter.

A pain reliever when you need one, and up for a laugh when you need that too.
