“We have ambitions to become the UK’s success story for innovative solutions for integrated risk management, support the government’s ambition for Britain to become the safest place to do business and help protect the UK’s critical infrastructure. We believe that our involvement with LORCA, and the technical and engineering expertise the programme can provide, will enable us to achieve these two goals. We’re particularly eager to collaborate in the area of technology and engage with potential partners or corporates on our go-to-market/channel approaches.”
