Greg Ward Leads By Example, Forging A Customer-First, Collaborative And Technology-Led Pathway To Success For The PTSG Family... And His Own.
Within this in‑depth feature we speak to Greg Ward, CEO of PTSG, to look at the company taking the compliance world by storm, the man driving the direction and growth of the business, what makes him tick, and his vision for the future.
Initially we take a look at the company itself.

PTSG operates across five key divisions: Access & Safety – fall protection and façade access systems.
Electrical Services – testing, inspection, and compliance (PAT, fixed wire, surge protection and the country’s biggest lightning protection company)

From a small start-up in 2007 to a market-leading specialist service provider with national coverage, PTSG have built a reputation for excellence, reliability and innovation in delivering compliance and safety-critical services.
Having invested millions in systems, processes and people to support growth and deliver consistently high standards. They have expanded their service offering and geographic footprint significantly in the last decade, including floating on the London Stock Exchange in 2015. The company later divested, being acquired by Macquarie Group Limited (Financial Services) in 2018 and Warburg Pincus in 2021.
The company’s growth has been as rapid as it has been impressive, with a wide-range of strategic acquisitions, led by effervescent Chairman Paul Teasdale, further cementing its position at the forefront of safety and compliance.
