About
I've spent 18 years working in compliance across the UK. PAT testing, fire safety, water hygiene, COSHH — I've done the work, filled in the forms, and used the software. Most of it was either too expensive, too complicated, or completely wrong on the technical detail.
I've walked into offices with 300 appliances to test and a paper form. I've stood in plant rooms logging water temperatures by hand. I've argued with facilities managers because a certificate printed from Excel didn't look "official" enough.
So I built what I always wished I had. Arnold PAT Testing started as a tool just for me. The logic follows the IET Code of Practice 5th Edition exactly — not approximately, exactly. The certificates look professional. It works 100% offline. And it costs less than a cup of tea a month.
Then other engineers started asking to use it. Then facilities managers. Then landlords. That's when I realised this wasn't just a tool for me — it was a tool for every compliance engineer in the UK who deserves better software.
Arnold Compliance is the platform I'm building around that idea. One family of apps — PAT testing, fire, water, COSHH, cleaning, fixed wire, asbestos. Every discipline. Built to the exact UK standard it covers. All at a price that doesn't need a purchase order to approve.
If you've got ideas, problems you want solved, or compliance challenges that need a software answer — I read every message personally. Don't hesitate to reach out.
The mission
Every compliance engineer in the UK should have access to professional-grade tools at a price that doesn't require a budget meeting.
