Who we are
Neospire is led by Kevin Hallas, former Technical Lead for Falls Prevention at the UK’s Health & Safety Executive. With a career dedicated to reducing slips, trips and falls, Kevin brings a unique mix of scientific rigour, regulatory insight, and practical know-how to the challenge of footwear safety.
His interest in how footwear interacts with the floor—materials, tread patterns, and the hidden science of friction—sparked the creation of Neospire and its mission to improve grip and reduce injuries worldwide.
Kevin’s work has been recognised by the Royal Academy of Engineering, where he was awarded a place on the Regional Talent Engine, supporting innovators who tackle real-world safety problems with cutting-edge technology.
At Neospire, that mission is simple: turn complex tribology into practical solutions that manufacturers, test labs, and safety professionals can trust.
