Risktec Solutions is an established, independent and specialist risk management consulting and training company, and is part of the TÜV Rheinland Group.  We assist clients in major hazard industries and commercial and public sectors to manage health, safety, security, environmental (HSSE) and business risk.

History

Risktec was formed in 2001 with the specific aim of helping clients to manage health, safety, security, environmental and business risk.

Initially Risktec was part-owned by the Nutec group.  Falck invested in Nutec in 2004 and acquired full control in 2007.  At this time it was agreed that Risktec would buy-out the Falck shareholding in Risktec, creating a fully employee-owned company.

The company has grown strongly, establishing offices in the UK, Middle East and North America. In 2010 Risktec was ranked as the 93rd fastest-growing private company in the UK according to the Real Business Hot 100 list, with an almost 50% compound annual growth rate over the last 4 years.  Risktec was also ranked number 80 in the Sunday Times International Track 100 of British firms with the fastest-growing overseas sales, achieving over 50% compound annual growth rate over the last two years.  Risktec is the only risk management consulting company on either list.

To supplement Risktec's consulting, training and education services, Risktec acquired the ASTEC Group in 2012 to be able to provide specialist engineering and safety associates to work on short or long-term assignments at client locations around the world.

In March 2014 Risktec was acquired by TÜV Rheinland, a global leader in independent inspection services. The acquisition extends Risktec's risk and safety resource pool, geographical reach and the range of services available to clients.
