Category sponsorship
Envico has connected UK employers with accredited training providers since 2003. Safety managers, HR teams and site supervisors arrive on this site with a compliance gap already identified and a budget to close it. Category sponsorship puts your brand in front of them at exactly that moment.
One sponsor per category, from £75 per month. No rotation, no auction, no competing brands alongside yours.
Enquire about a categoryA small audience, bought at the right moment
We are not a trade magazine and we do not sell reach. Envico is a specialist booking site, and the people on it are further down the buying process than a general safety audience. Someone reading a face fit testing course page has established that their organisation has a fit testing duty and is costing up how to discharge it. Someone on a confined spaces page is planning entry work.
That matters commercially, because training and equipment are bought together. An employer arranging fit testing training needs kits, hoods and solution. An employer booking working at height training is specifying harnesses and inspection. The purchase you want is adjacent to the purchase they are already making.
Envico is an independent intermediary, not a provider and not a distributor. We do not sell equipment, so we are not competing with our sponsors.

How category sponsorship works
You sponsor a subject category rather than a single page. Your placement then appears on every course page, listing page and group training page within that category — wherever a buyer in that discipline lands.
1. Choose your category
Face fit testing, working at height, confined spaces, first aid, asbestos, fire safety, manual handling, HAVS and others. Most sponsors take two or three adjacent disciplines.
2. Supply your creative
Logo, a one-line headline, two lines of copy and a destination URL. We handle layout so your placement reads as part of the page rather than as a banner.
3. Go live
Placements are usually live within two working days. Your destination link carries UTM parameters, so referred traffic appears in your own analytics and you can measure the placement against your other channels.
What is included
- Placement across every page in your category
- Category exclusivity for the term — no competitor placements
- Logo, headline, description and destination link
- UTM-tagged links, so referred traffic shows in your own analytics
- Clear “Sponsored” labelling, in line with CAP Code and CMA guidance on advertising disclosure
Who we accept
Category sponsorship is open to manufacturers, distributors and suppliers of health and safety equipment, PPE, monitoring and testing instruments, calibration services and related consumables.
We do not accept sponsorship from training providers or awarding organisations. If you deliver accredited training and want your courses listed, that is a separate arrangement — see selling your training courses online.

Common questions
How many people will see my placement?
Ask and we will tell you the current figures for the category you are interested in. Traffic is seasonal and peaks through the autumn and winter booking period, so we give current numbers alongside the equivalent period a year earlier rather than a flattering snapshot. The rate is set low precisely because this is a specialist audience rather than a large one.
How do I measure whether it is working?
Your destination link is UTM-tagged, so every visit we send appears as a distinct source in your own analytics. You measure it the same way you measure any other referral channel, using your own numbers rather than ours.
Can I sponsor more than one category?
Yes, and most sponsors do. Three categories are £180 per month, exclusive in each. For more than three, get in touch and we will quote.
Is there a minimum term?
Three months. Display advertising rarely shows a reliable pattern in less time, and category exclusivity means a shorter term would block the slot for little benefit to either side.
Is this a paid link for SEO purposes?
No. All sponsored links carry rel="sponsored" and pass no ranking signal, in line with Google's guidelines. Sponsorship is bought for the audience, not for links, and we will decline enquiries seeking link equity.
Do you sell equipment yourselves?
No. Envico is an independent training intermediary. We do not manufacture, stock or resell equipment, so sponsors are not competing with their host.
Can I change my creative during the term?
Yes, as often as you like, at no extra cost. Changes are usually live within one working day.
