Norwich-based broker Alan Boswell Group promotes new Risk Management Division with free 'Health Checks' for businesses.Businesses ignore
risk assessment and
health & safety at their peril: they face stiff penalties and could be shut down if theyre caught out. Now East Anglia's leading independent
insurance brokers, Alan Boswell Group, has launched a
risk management service designed not only to help East Anglian businesses manage risks, but also to take advantage of the significant business opportunities that positive
risk management can bring.
In fact, not keeping up with new risk assessment practice is itself a risk, says John Neil, who's running the new division,
Alan Boswell Risk Management (ABRM). But, he adds, its not all doom and gloom: get it right and you create an environment that stimulates business growth.
To help promote the launch,
Alan Boswell Risk Management is offering
free risk management health checks to a limited number of
businesses insurance clients in East Anglia. To apply, or to find out more, phone 01603 218000 or email
insurance@alanboswell.com"Risk awareness is now a central part of every organisation's practice and planning", John Neil points out. "Business is changing so fast that it throws up risk and opportunity in equal measure.
Alan Boswell Risk Management will provide advice and guidance on how to manage the threats that face your operations, so you can stop worrying about the unknown and focus on your opportunities."
ABRM will help its customers keep up to date with the welter of regulations and legislation covering
health and safety,
fire prevention,
business continuity and
motor fleet matters. The service will be available to all businesses, large and small: "
Risk management is a major concern for all organisations, whatever their size," says John Neill. "Many smaller companies have only limited in-house expertise to cover areas like
health & safety."
The concept underlying ABRM is backed by the
Association of British Insurers, which has said that good
risk management makes good business sense. Furthermore, it suggests that insurers are willing to take positive
risk management measures into account when renewing or issuing polices.
In other words, organisations can reduce their
business insurance costs through good
risk management practice.
Alan Boswell Insurance Brokers Limited, Alan Boswell Insurance Services Limited and Alan Boswell & Company Limited are authorised and regulated by the
Financial Services Authority.
