Ridgway Services First Aid | Safety Training was established by Sharon Ridgway after combining two passions - First Aid and Training.
Sharon spent many years as a First Aider in the Workplace and at events as well as mentoring and training staff in a commercial environment, working within the highly safety regulated Oil and Gas industry.
Currently, as well as a First Aid Trainer, Covid and Flu vaccinator, Sharon is a Unit Medic, working on film and TV sets at Pinewood, Longcross and Shepperton Studios, and several other filming locations throughout the South East. She is also an emergency first responder covering large live sporting events such as the Royal Windsor Horse Show, and a wide variety of other national events.
Here at Ridgway Services our team of trainers are highly experienced individuals with years of training experience and come from a wide variety of diverse backgrounds including frontline ambulance, military, airline and emergency response.
Understanding exactly what is required of a First Aider, Sharon and her team focus on engaging learners by delivering first aid training in clear and non-technical language, in a fun and interactive way.
