Meet the Team Behind Paul Feely & Associates
We don't expect you to take our word for anything. Before you bring anyone in to handle your health, safety, and environmental work, you want to know who'll actually turn up, what they know, and whether they'll tell you straight. Fair enough.
You'll be working with a multidisciplinary team led by a Chartered Member of IOSH, with experience spanning construction, CDM, fire safety, manufacturing, retail, and environmental compliance. Some of us you'll meet on site, some behind the scenes, but every job draws on the same depth of knowledge.
Have a read below. You'll get a sense of who does what, where they've done it, and why they're worth having in your corner before a single site visit is booked.

Kevin joined Paul Feely & Associates as a Health & Safety Advisor, bringing with him 25 years of hands-on experience as an electrician. He has worked across Ireland, England, Switzerland, and Holland on a wide range of projects, including shopping centres, office blocks, hotels, pharmaceutical plants, and data centres.
That background gives Kevin a strong understanding of what actually happens on site, the pressures teams are under, and the importance of health and safety advice that is practical, realistic, and easy to follow. He knows the difference between paperwork that sits in a folder and safety measures that genuinely help people do the job properly.
Kevin’s typical week can take him anywhere from Galway and Dublin to Belfast, Limavady, and beyond. He spends much of his time carrying out site audits, meeting clients, speaking with teams, and helping businesses understand where they are doing well and where improvements can be made.
With his electrical background, Kevin brings valuable insight to clients working in construction, facilities, industrial, and technically complex environments. He has a good eye for detail but also understands that good safety advice needs to work in the real world.
Kevin believes that building a positive safety culture is always worthwhile. For him, health and safety should help a business operate better, protect its people, and give everyone more confidence in the way work is being managed.

Kevin says he used to have hobbies… then he had kids. These days, most of his spare time is spent on family life, taxi runs and wondering how children can have more energy than a full site team.
