Meet Our Team

We all have different backgrounds and stories to share but fundamentally we have the same message to share and reinforce to everyone we meet.

Jason Anker MBE Founder Proud2bSafe

Jason is a father of 2 and a devoted grandad to 2 . Lifelong Nottingham Forest fan. ''I was paralysed from the waist down due to an avoidable accident on a construction site in 1993 when I was just 24 years old. I only started speaking about my accident in 2009 and that is reflected in a story that is as hard hitting as if it had happened yesterday. My passion is to prevent others from having to go through what myself, my family and friends have had to go through over the last 26 years. If we could stop just one person from suffering a life changing accident, then it is worth all the effort we put in."

Matt Hazelton Speaker

Father of 3 fantastic kids and a massive lover of football. Previously a company director. ''I am the manager of my village team in senior football, as well as going to watch Ipswich Town F.C as much as I can. Another passion of mine is fishing along with music and I try to attend as many festivals/gigs as possible. Due to an extremely sad and traumatic event in my personal and business life, I found myself wondering how I could make a difference to others. Proud2bSafe has encouraged and motivated me to share me and my family’s experiences in order to encourage directors and senior managers to be more responsible for their actions, the people they employ, and also show the affect of how things can quickly escalate and affect not only their lives, families, friends and work colleagues but the same of the employee too''
