Managing Air & Water Compliance: What Good Looks Like in Practice  

Air & Water Compliance Director 

Roy Bedford is Director of the Air & Water Compliance Division at Ventro Group, where he leads the development and delivery of practical compliance solutions across the built environment.  

In this session, Roy will focus on the growing importance of air compliance and why effective air quality management is becoming a critical priority for organisations navigating evolving regulatory requirements. 

Roy brings a strong commercial background, having progressed through multiple roles at Springpack from Assistant Sales Executive to Sales Manager before moving into his current leadership role.  His experience enables him to translate complex compliance challenges into clear, practical actions that work in real-world environments.  

During the webinar, Roy will break down TM44 air conditioning inspections, who needs them, what they involve, and how to stay compliant alongside duct cleaning requirements and the risks linked to poor air hygiene. He will also explain how TR19 standards underpin safe, efficient system performance, helping attendees connect industry guidance with day-to-day compliance and risk management.
