Jeremy brings a unique “boots-on-the-ground” perspective to 1st Reporting. While he holds dual professional designations in marketing (PCM, CDMP), his authority in the health and safety space is built on over 23 years of direct operational experience.
Industry Background: Before transitioning to digital strategy, Jeremy spent 15 years in the industrial overhead door and loading dock industry—a sector known for high-risk environments and strict safety compliance.
