About us

Who we are.

Over a period of 30 years, we have become one of the world's leading global assistance and risk management groups. We provide our clients with exclusively tailored and integrated risk, security, medical and crisis response solutions. We are big enough to enjoy a global reach but small enough to instantly adapt to any situation with agility and purpose.

What we do.

We protect your people, your assets and your reputation through cost-effective global risk mitigation, emergency assistance and response solutions. Although these solutions are on an international scale, they are always customised in line with the local environment.

How we do it.

Our approach to business is dynamic, personal and consultative, which enables us to navigate towards an unpredictable future where change comes quickly. We do the right things, in the right ways, for the right reasons, always.
