To compete successfully in the broking sector companies need a risk management capability.

Frequently this is provided as a front for the sale of add on consultancy services aimed at risk reduction. In many instances the recommendations made are not thought through and are simply an additional cost to the policy holder. The reality is that brokers react to control risk after something happens and the need to prevent a recurrence results in additional control measures.

At Peter Hattersley & Partners we embrace the concept of true risk management, which can be defined as an analysis of business practice, the whole management process and the introduction of measures to reduce or prevent on an ongoing basis.

Peter Hattersley spent a number of years developing strategic risk solutions for major businesses and has a unique insight into this aspect of the insurance industry. Amongst others he successfully introduced management systems for risk into a nuclear dock yard, a major brewer and a large utilities company. All staff are thoroughly trained on this aspect of our services and they work constantly with clients to ensure that hazard is identified and the resultant risk managed effectively with as little cost as possible to the customer.

Working in partnership with specialist service providers we can give high quality advice on:

• Health and safety in the workplace.

• Product safety.

• Occupational hygiene.

• Vehicle risk management.

• Driver training.
