Cleveland Fire Brigade’s fast-growing risk management company has begun 2015 with a £2m turnover figure in its sights - and a contract win at Vopak’s Teesside Terminal.
The three year contract with Royal Vopak, specialists in the storage and handling of oil products, liquid chemicals and gases, will provide round-the-clock emergency support at Seal Sands, where not-for-profit company CFB Risk Management already works with Ineos Nitriles.
Vopak will have 24/7 emergency response and crisis management support, incident command and control training and exercising and a stand-by emergency control centre (ECC) in the event of a major incident.
Gary Cawley, Technical Director, CFB Risk Management, said: “This latest contract is one of many that we have secured since we started in 2011 and will contribute to an expected £2m turnover figure in this financial year.
“Our continuing success shows that our expertise and experience of working in an area with such a concentration of high hazard industries is being increasingly recognised and valued.
“We are confident that 2015 will bring us further contracts across the UK, in Europe and the Middle East as well as regionally.”
A recent investment of £100,000 in a state-of-the-art Incident Command & Crisis Management Training Facility has boosted interest in the company’s services. It includes the world’s first integrated Training & Exercise System and Open Days have already attracted attention and positive feedback from a considerable number of blue chip companies and industry leaders.
CRB Risk Management now has one of the largest workforces in the UK with the skills and competence to work in high hazard situations. It employs more than 30 full-time staff plus 150 part-time skilled support staff and has a bank of 500 more who are available when needed.
Contracts are in place with major blue-chip companies in the oil and gas, nuclear and petrochemical sectors across the UK and a number of significant developments in the Middle East and Europe are at an advanced stage.
The range of specialist services it provides to help high hazard industries protect personnel, assets and avoid costly disruption to production includes fire safety management, emergency planning, fire engineering, emergency response and training and exercising.
CFB Risk Management is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company; profits go into community projects that improve safety for thousands of families in the Tees area.
The company claims to offer “risk management services to the private sector using its expertise and experience to provide the highest levels of safety provision for businesses, organisations and the community.”
Cleveland Fire Brigade says it’s leading the way in the UK with this innovative service for companies in sectors that include petrochemical & process, transport & maritime, energy, mining & infrastructure and oil and gas.
The aim is to ensure the highest levels of safety for businesses, safeguard services and jobs and use profits to improve safety in the community.
