elciem has worked extensively with clients in the food and drink sector and our experience has led us to be considered as industry experts by several of the London market insurers.  We work with clients and often their insurers to identify and manage the specific and unique hazards and exposures presented by this sector.

Projects have included the development of hazard-specific protection systems, the development and implementation of risk management practices and procedures designed to prevent loss happening in the first place, and the training and educating of staff in risk management and hazard awareness.

In this distressed sector with a poor loss history, a solid risk management strategy supported by a comprehensive risk engineering programme is often the only defence a business has against large losses and punitive insurance terms and conditions.  By choosing elciem as their risk engineering partner and by working with us to develop and implement sound risk engineering solutions, many of our clients have been able to demonstrate their ability to manage and reduce risk and in so doing, extract themselves from the stigma associated with this sector.

elciem’s food industry clients are based predominantly in the UK and Ireland, although we have global clients with large and varied production and processing plants.
