The Global Series invited us to deliver an interactive workshop on health and safety leadership and the feedback was just gorgeous!

We challenged the status quo, we challenged the safety profession and encouraged others to speak openly about what it is we are trying to achieve, what the challenges are and how people can share good practice.

We have just moved into the newly refurbished headquarters in the heart of our hometown. The old, renovated mill, its rich history made through the cotton mills of the northwest, opened in summer 2025.

It is a landmark achievement for us to not only have our own space but to be part of key local investment and part of a community of businesses founded and residing in the town.

With views across the town stormy days and sunny days are a dream with our huge windows and open place space.

Melissa joined the HS/1 ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems committee as their independent Leadership and Risk Management Expert.

“To be involved in the development of internationally recognised standards is a huge honour. Being able to help shape the future of risk management is a huge passion project”.

Look out for further updates on the standards via the BSI website or Melissa’s LinkedIn page.

Melissa founded and is the current chair of The Safety Social (TSS). When she recognised a gap in the market, particularly the northwest, England area, she poured her heart and soul into creating something special.

TSS now has close to 100 members and a committee of passionate people who believe in the cause.

Most recently Melissa hosted a Women’s Empowerment Workshop. Encouraging others to review their work life balance and to create their very own vision boards in a trusted environment with support and guidance.

The event was sponsored by on of our long standing and amazing clients. They hosted us at their offices whilst feeding and watering us throughout the 3 hour workshop.

Spring 2025 saw our founder, Melissa Fazackerley, being recognised by the International Institute of leadership and Risk Management, IIRSM for short, taking home the President’s commendation Award.

The awards voting was unanimous for Melissa as recognition of her efforts, not only with the institute, but as an individual in the global and local risk management community.

The reward serves as a reminder to us all to do what we are passionate about and what we believe in because it makes a difference and you never know who is watching.

Melissa has been working with the Fire Protection Association for almost two years now. Making regular contributions to their member magazine sharing a construction perspective for their readers when it comes to fire safety and bridging the gap between risk management professionals in various fields.

We are working hard on improving our coaching and mentoring offering and with the recent reviews rolling in we are ridiculously excited to see where the journey takes us and the high-risk industries we work with.

From those in leadership roles to those executives managing multi-million-pound companies coaching brings a whole host of benefits and to see those come to fruition is the biggest reward. Knowing we can make a real difference to people’s lives when coaching conversations happen.

A client of Dimension recently completed their surveillance audit, under a UKAS auditing body, with flying colours. More than that, the praise they received was magical and it is all a result of teamwork, board commitment and involvement and one of their client’s told them they are ‘a world class organisation’ absolutely solidified the pride Dimension felt for such a committed client on their ISO journey.

Boy has it been a whirlwind few years for Melissa in construction! Being nominated 3 years in a row, making the top 100 women 2 years in a row and winning Local Hero Northwest in 2024 is testament to her commitment to making the industry a better place by doing what she is passionate about.

The big smoke was calling and Melissa joined Sage at the Shard to present the challenges and solutions of construction to various members of their team and other stakeholders. The event was a huge success and the feedback was fantastic.

Collaboration is key when solutions are there for the taking. From managing workflow to accounts Sage has it all and their latest offering to the construction industry can make life a lot easier. In the same way ISO standards help manage business risk.

This partnership was just one of the latest fantastic new ways of thinking about high-risk industry and the solutions that come with it.

The Construction Industry Training board (CITB) invited Melissa to talk at UK Construction Week (UKCW) as part of a panel discussion. The topic? Leadership! A critical part of the industry and how to achieve successful leadership in blue chip companies and SMEs alike.

The panel was well structured with a variety of individuals covering a broad range of areas within the industry. Welcomed with questions and suggestions the discussion was a hit!

Melissa was invited to be a panel speaker at the Fire Safety Event in Birmingham alongside two experts. She provided a perspective of the importance of leadership and management systems with the ever-evolving fire safety industry, particularly around construction and building control.

The event was very well attended with standing room only so we’d say that is a huge success!

Dimension sponsored Salford Red Devils Women’s Rugby League for their 2025/26 season in particular their Captain Tamzin (Taz) Corcoran received the player sponsorship.

The donation is part of Dimension’s drive to invest in the local economy, promoting diversity and promotion of sports for future generations to come.

For 4 years now Melissa has been asked to judge the IIRSM awards and it has been an absolute privilege to be part of. From seeing the nominations and the commitment to risk management globally to seeing the awards being presented on the evening has been phenomenal.

The Under Construction Journal was launched in 2024 and has been a huge success! Another success is that for every cop sold another is donated to a mental health charity. What’s not to love?

The journal has been crafted as a result of decades of experience in challenging industries and countless conversations with colleagues and friends in the industry on the struggles they face and how to overcome them, and the journal is simply a tool to support that journey.
