In the latest episode of our podcast, host Jim Nixon sits down with Rob Halford, managing director and founder of RHE Global, for an in-depth conversation about innovation, leadership and the journey of building a technology company that’s changing the way local authorities and professionals work.

Rob shares the story of how RHE Global began, from the early development of the company’s pioneering digital information management system RIAMS to the creation of The Noise App, a groundbreaking tool that transformed how environmental health teams handle noise complaints. What started as an ambitious idea has evolved into a suite of innovative digital products, specialist training and consultancy services that help public sector teams work more efficiently and effectively across the UK and beyond.

During the interview, Rob reflects on the challenges of starting a business that was technologically ahead of its time. He discusses how perseverance, collaboration and adaptability were crucial in navigating those early years. 

When it comes to leadership, Rob emphasises the importance of humility and continuous learning. True leadership, he explains, is about empowering others, listening and creating an environment where great ideas can thrive. 

Looking ahead, Rob shares his thoughts on what’s next for RHE Global, from expanding existing products to exploring new areas of digital innovation that help professionals adapt to an ever-changing world.
