Salisbury
I formed Keepabeat in 2007. My name is Sam Mackay and I’m a fully qualified
Lifeguard and First Aid Trainer. I had a passion for teaching first aid and
worked for several training companies on a freelance basis. I trained delegates
from a wide range of backgrounds, including blue chip companies like House of
Fraser, Sainsbury’s and Starbucks, but also local Childminders and Nannies. I
developed as a trainer and realised that this was so much more than just a
“job”. After having my daughter Ruby in 2012 my focus changed a little, however,
it was very fortunate that I had learnt all those basic life saving skills, as
Ruby certainly tested my knowledge! Realising that many Parents wouldn’t know
what to do, or how to deal with a First Aid emergency, made me determined to
pass on that knowledge. So, a new passion was born and teaching Parents,
Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Babysitters, Childminders and Nannies basic first
aid was my new mission. Working from a laptop in the front room and a car loaded
with manikins, I worked hard to spread the KeepaBeat message, delivering Parent
sessions and First Aid at work courses all over the UK. It soon became clear
that I couldn’t do it alone! In 2016 KeepaBeat joined WOW World Group Ltd to
develop KeepaBeat in to a Franchise opportunity so that we could deliver
sessions and courses across the whole of the UK! If you are interested in either
