About BCarm
We believe in making a difference to businesses by providing more than just protection and compliance – our risk management solutions go much further to enhance business performance and competitive advantage.
Why BCarm?
We see “risk management” as so much more than just compliance. For us it has 3 components COMPLIANCE, PROCESS and PEOPLE and that’s why we deliver solutions that are business enablers, improve operational efficiency, build business resilience and drive employee engagement – all of which deliver ROI.
A Unique Combination
We bring together digital risk management systems (PROCESS), flexible “pay as you go if you need” Consultancy (COMPLIANCE), and Engagement – our name for the continuous support we provide you and your PEOPLE. This combination delivers the benefits of SaaS (data, accountability, transparency, efficiency, and defensibility) with expertise when required (there are no retained 3 – 5 year contracts) and a focus on people, who are generally the defining factor in managing business risk, whatever level in the business.
Making a difference
As a proactive, growth mindset business, making a difference is in our DNA. We’d like to think we have helped hundreds of companies, looking to drive their business improvement and optimise risk management. We measure this with Net Promoter Scoring which reflects our commitment to delivering flexible solutions that enhance business performance and competitive advantage and deliver a ROI.
Trust
We take the time to understand your risk management issues and needs and also your wider business drivers and objectives. We’ll never sell you something you don’t need or won’t work for you and we will deliver what we promise. Don’t just take our word for it, see what our clients say.
People are at the heart of what we do
Our solutions will be implemented and used by people, and they will have different reactions to change and adoption and need to receive information in ways that work for them. We understand this and that’s why we take a personal approach with every client to understand their needs and work out how best to address them. This is what we call Engagement; we help you and your team engage with the solution and get the best out of it.
ROI
We are business people, so we are focused on the same challenges as you – how to maximise performance and traction, build employee engagement, align process, leverage data, build competitive advantage and resolve challenges and issues. We look to build solutions that deliver results and ultimately an ROI. Risk Management is a discreet performance lever; we can help you realise the wider business benefits that can be achieved.
Meet the team
We are a small and highly motivated team – think special forces as opposed to an infantry brigade. We work swiftly and efficiently to get our clients results and share a common passion to deliver a difference whenever we can.
Steve Williams
Managing Director
30+ years of Insurance, Sales Management, General and Risk Management experience. Scuba Diver, Ultrarunner and Adventure Racer; loves to run across a desert, so far the Sahara, Namib and Attacama but insists he is not mad!
Sharon Ede
Head of Operations
Operational Management from Leisure to Insurance and HR. Former GB Canoe Slalom training team member, all round perfectionist and secretly the most competitive person alive! May or may not have a Blue Peter Badge.
Mark Hutchinson
Senior Risk Consultant
30+ years Risk Management experience across a vast range of industries and lots of initials after his name. At the weekend Mark likes nothing more than to slip in to the lycra, strap on the Garmin and hit the road at VO2 Max on 2 wheels and Carbon Fibre.
Alison Thornton
Client Engagement Coordinator
Experience in banking and a trade union has fortunately left Alison unscathed. When not engaging with clients, Alison has 2 mad cocker spaniels and Boris her horse which takes up all of her spare time (and cash).
Izzie Sadiq-Shirley
Marketing Manager
With 20 years’ experience in Marketing there’s not much she doesn’t know about taking a good ‘promotional’ selfie. Loves a challenge and getting carried away, most notably after running a marathon and getting carried home!
Colin Hemsworth
Client Support
Should have been a winner on Masterchef but settled for being brilliant with BCarm clients. An avid fisherman and can be found on beaches around the UK in gale force conditions searching for the big one!
Katherine Olive
Client Engaging Coordinator
With a background in software training and support, Katherine is always up for a new challenge. She has a BA in Film & Theatre Studies and is highly partial to a movie marathon. In her spare time she also likes to draw and practice experimental cooking, with varying degrees of success.
Louise Taylor
Operations Coordinator
With experience running operations teams for multi-national retailers and leading software projects, she’s all about turning chaos into calm (preferably with a dashboard involved). Fun facts? She was a Premier League cheerleader for 7 years—and can breathe fire, but only when strictly necessary.
Eliza Roy
Client Support
Experienced in sales and account management, with a background in the motor trade and supporting conveyancing law firms. Rarely without a German Shepherd in tow, she spends spare time managing five horses, training for competitions, and escaping to the countryside whenever she can.
