00:00Peter Wilbury, I'm the chairman of RG Wilbury Consultants. I'd like to thank everybody for coming,

00:08especially...

00:11I'm running down. Yeah, yeah.

00:16Yeah, Kieran Ansell, he's from Wolverhampton Wanderers Foundation,

00:22and also Michelle Hill, who's production secretary at Taylor Wimpy, who have very kindly

00:33donated the defibrillator. I think I just want to tell you who we are and what we do because there's

00:43a lot of folk around here. RG Wilbury is the oldest health and safety consultancy

00:54in the United Kingdom. My father started this business in 1964. We're in our 61st year.

01:04We specialize but do not confine ourselves to construction. We help plan

01:13sometimes very complex construction projects. We have a team of site inspectors who are based

01:24throughout the country and we are a nationwide company. We also have a training department

01:32where we train in many, many things and we partner with quite a few accredited organisations.

01:46We really wanted to, as we celebrate our 61st year, we wanted to give something back

01:54to the local community and given we are a health and safety consultancy, it seems appropriate,

02:03that we have a defibrillator outside. Now we did some research and it seems that

02:11quite a few defibrillators that you see have restricted use with regard to time.

02:21So a lot of them, for example, a defibrillator outside a school

02:28will only function between 8 a.m and 4 p.m.

02:35This however is a classified defibrillator and it will operate for 24 hours.

02:44What we have done and are doing is to contact everyone, not just businesses but residential properties as well,

03:00within a quarter of a mile radius of this building and given that we are first aid

03:09trainers, we are going to be holding a free, relatively brief, instruction course on how to use a defibrillator.
