Our team
We know we are only as good as our people. Our team has a wealth of experience and qualifications in risk management. As well as their years of experience, many have specific qualifications and are members of the relevant professional bodies. We count members of the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (IoSH), the Institute of Risk Management (IRM) and the Association of Project Safety within our team.
As such, our risk team is accepted onto the Occupational Safety and Health Consultants Register (OSHCR) which is a register of consultants who have met set standards within their professional body. All those on the register have a minimum of two years’ experience, a degree level qualification and a commitment to continuous professional development.
