About ALPS Consultancy

Your Dedicated H&S Partner in Hospitality

I'm Steuart Fotheringham, Managing Director of ALPS Consultancy. With deep expertise in health, food, and fire safety, I work exclusively with hospitality businesses — because this industry has compliance needs that generic consultants simply don't understand.

Based in Kilmarnock, I support golf clubs, hotels and restaurants across Scotland and the wider UK, acting as your outsourced health and safety department at a fraction of the cost of in-house resource.

Client Feedback

Trusted Across Hospitality

★★★★★

Steuart completely transformed our food safety documentation. Our EHO inspection went without a single issue — we achieved a 5-star hygiene rating for the first time. Cannot recommend ALPS highly enough.

James Morrison
General Manager, Ayrshire Golf Club
★★★★★

As a boutique hotel we needed someone who really understood our operation. Steuart's knowledge of legionella, COSHH and fire procedures is exceptional. He handles everything so we can focus on our guests.

Sarah Robertson
Owner, The Harbour Hotel
★★★★★

Our allergen documentation was a complete mess before ALPS stepped in. Now it's watertight and our whole team is trained. The piece of mind this gives us is genuinely invaluable.

Why Golf Clubs Need Specialist Support

Golf Clubs Are More Complex Than They Look

A golf club is effectively multiple businesses in one: a food service operation in the clubhouse, a chemical handling environment in the greenkeeper's shed, a licensed premises, and a venue for member events — all with different compliance obligations.

Most generalist H&S consultants miss the nuances. ALPS Consultancy works exclusively in hospitality, which means we understand golf club operations inside out.

  • Clubhouse food safety management & HACCP
  • COSHH assessments for pesticides, herbicides & fertilisers
  • Greenkeeper health & safety including PPE guidance
  • Fire risk assessment for clubhouse & outbuildings
  • Member event risk assessments & crowd management
  • Machinery safety — mowers, rollers, tractors
  • Legionella risk assessment for showers & changing rooms
  • Staff training & induction documentation

⛳ Common Golf Club Compliance Gaps

These are the issues we most frequently find when auditing golf clubs for the first time:

  • Outdated COSHH assessments not covering current chemicals
  • No documented food allergen procedures in the clubhouse kitchen
  • Fire risk assessments that haven't been reviewed since a building change
  • Legionella risk not assessed in changing room shower systems
  • Greenkeepers with no formal manual handling training records
  • No documented risk assessment for member tournaments or events

"ALPS handled our entire COSHH and food safety programme. The peace of mind is genuinely priceless — especially heading into inspection season."

— Secretary Manager, West of Scotland Golf Club

Why Hotels Need Specialist Support

Hotels Carry Unique Compliance Obligations

Hotels must manage health and safety across a complex, multi-hazard environment: commercial kitchens, guest accommodation, swimming pools, spas, bars, event spaces, and contractor access — often all at once.

A compliance failure in a hotel doesn't just risk fines — it risks your reputation, your licence, and your guests' safety. ALPS Consultancy gives you the specialist support to stay ahead of every obligation.

  • Legionella risk assessment & water management plans
  • Kitchen food safety management & HACCP
  • Housekeeping COSHH assessments & cleaning programmes
  • Fire risk assessment for multi-floor premises
  • Spa, pool and leisure facility safety
  • Contractor management & permit-to-work systems
  • Event management risk assessments
  • Staff training & H&S policy documentation

🏨 Common Hotel Compliance Gaps

The issues we most frequently find when auditing hotels for the first time:

  • Legionella risk assessments that are out of date or incomplete
  • Housekeeping COSHH assessments missing for newer products
  • Fire risk assessment not updated after refurbishment
  • No documented allergen management in kitchen or bar
  • Spa/pool safety documentation not meeting HSG179 guidance
  • Contractor induction process not documented or inconsistently applied

"Steuart really gets hotels. He understood our operation immediately and his legionella documentation alone saved us from a potential HSE visit."

— Operations Manager, Scotland Boutique Hotel Group

Why Restaurants Need Specialist Support

Your Reputation Depends on Getting This Right

A low food hygiene rating is visible to every potential customer online. A serious allergen incident can end a business. ALPS Consultancy helps restaurants build the documentation and culture that keeps staff safe, customers protected, and EHOs satisfied.

We understand the pressures of a commercial kitchen — tight margins, high turnover, busy service — so we create systems that are practical and easy for your team to follow every day.

  • HACCP food safety management system
  • Allergen management documentation (Natasha's Law)
  • Food hygiene rating preparation & mock EHO audit
  • Kitchen fire risk assessment & suppression records
  • COSHH assessments for cleaning chemicals
  • Temperature monitoring & due diligence records
  • Staff food safety training (Level 2 & 3)
  • Supplier approval & traceability procedures

🍽️ Common Restaurant Compliance Gaps

The issues we most frequently find when auditing restaurants for the first time:

  • HACCP plan in place but not being actively followed or recorded
  • Allergen information incomplete or not communicated to all staff
  • Temperature records inconsistently completed
  • No documented supplier approval process
  • Kitchen extraction cleaning records absent or overdue
  • Staff food safety training records missing or out of date

"We went from a 3-star hygiene rating to a 5-star within three months of working with ALPS. The systems Steuart put in place are clear, practical and our whole team now follows them."
