We are thrilled to welcome Debbie Sumner to the LIG team as our new SHEQ Manager. Debbie’s role is pivotal in ensuring the safety, health, environment, and quality (SHEQ) standards across the group. Her mission is simple but vital: to look after everyone and make sure they are safe in their roles.
Experience and Expertise
Debbie brings with her over 20 years of experience in Health and Safety, spanning across almost every industry imaginable – except food and education. Her extensive background equips her with a diverse skill set and a wealth of knowledge to tackle any challenge that comes her way. Debbie’s approach is refreshingly different; she believes in truly understanding the operators and their roles while creating a platform for everyone to have a voice.

Her unique perspective on health and safety is what makes Debbie stand out. To her, it’s not just about “clipboards and audits”; it’s about creating a culture of understanding and empowerment. Debbie is passionate about transforming mindsets and encouraging teams to view safety in a positive, proactive way.
What Debbie Loves About Her Work
For Debbie, the most rewarding part of her work is changing people’s perceptions of safety. She thrives on inspiring others to see safety as an integral and collaborative part of their roles, rather than a chore.
