A risk management business has started the new year with more than £600,000 of project wins – in construction, food manufacturing, electrical vehicle supply and waste processing.
Finch Consulting is based Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire, and helps organisations in the 海角视频 and abroad understand and mitigate environmental, health and safety, and engineering risks.
The new work includes projects in the 海角视频, EU and the UAE, helping clients with compliance, reputational and litigation issues.

One of the new 海角视频 projects is to advise on engineering safety and compliance in sinking three new mine shafts at Woodsmith Project in North Yorkshire.
The £2.8 billion scheme has attracted wide media interest as it is set to access the world’s biggest, highest grade resource of polyhalite – which can be used as a fertiliser and other industrial applications – and create more than 2,000 jobs.
Other projects include providing company-wide machinery safety training for three international food manufacturers, health and safety support to the managers of one of London’s most iconic buildings and training senior management staff in a global datacentre provider on health and safety compliance.
Operations director Janine Watterson said Finch Consulting had invested heavily in on-the-move telecommunications systems for diagnostics, inspections and audits, as well as training.
It was also planning investments in virtual and augmented reality, to help it provide more advanced virtual training programmes.

Ms Watterson said: “Our success is down to our people and our relationships.
“We recruit, support and retain the best in their fields, and nurture long term relationships with our clients, who return to us again and again, enabling us to support them in good times and bad.
“Our positive start to 2021 is entirely due to the relationships we have developed, and to the tenacity, candour, and resilience of our people.”
Finance director Andrew Millington said: “Finch Consulting is resilient. The businesses which became Finch were started in recessions in the 80s and 90s and came through the recession in 2008 and 2009.
“Our agility derived from being a small business, and open culture has helped us adapt and transform.
“I think there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the future. Our diversity across many sectors is a strength – we work across food (human and animal), energy, waste, pharmaceutical, manufacturing as well as the service markets that support them such as law firms, financiers, insurers, brokers and adjusters.
“We’re also supporting leisure and entertainment which has been hard hit by Covid-19, to ensure they bounce back as vaccines start to make a difference to personal freedoms and risk.”
