Peter has been working at height longer than rope access was a "new" concept.
He personally developed techniques to improve work site efficiency, and puts a large emphasis on continual up-skilling and retraining. Always looking out for the next cutting edge technology or skill to improve.
Workplace culture is paramount to Pete. He considers team morale as the ultimate bottom line of the business (and has a lot of fun in attempting to see that established!)

Company Culture

Off The Ledge is known for it's company culture of honour and respect.
We have people tell us that they would love to join the company, if only they didn't have to work at height!
We joke that like "Hotel California" that "you can check out anytime but you can never leave!"
There is a strong brotherhood bond when you hang with your teammate for 8 hours a day on nothing more than two 11mm ropes .

The team not only enjoys one another on the face of buildings.
Whether it is their daily dart competitions, weekend surfing trips, or the annual snowboarding Christmas trip to Cardrona, it is a high energy culture that daily celebrates the gift of life!

Our hope is that our crews will not only provide a great trade service for you, but free of charge, may brighten up your day
