My Clients core client base is predominantly within financial services and large corporates, but they are increasingly finding that their specialist skills are needed by firms in other industries like Health and Public Sector and Goverment Bodies.
These clients need to deal effectively with their operational risks, to achieve maximum value from their technology, data and processes and our Tech Risk specialists provide independent, jargon-free advice to help them achieve this potential.
They also work closely with other consulting teams, for example cyber security specialists, digital experts and technology strategists to ensure our clients receive the best possible advice.
The team works in an agile and flexible manner, with plenty of opportunities to develop new skills and gain new knowledge. They are keen to support and develop their people to enable them to be the best they can be.
