Steadfast’s risk management arm acquires Melbourne’s Riskcom
Steadfast Risk Group has acquired Riskcom and its subsidiary BRM Risk Management.
Riskcom provides enterprise risk and health & safety advice and solutions, and BRM is the largest self-insurance auditor in Australia, specialising in workers’ compensation claims and rehabilitation audits.
Riskcom and BRM will retain their brands and continue to operate as standalone businesses.
Steadfast Group MD & CEO Robert Kelly says the acquisition will immediately increase Steadfast Risk Group’s capabilities across the full suite of risk management services.
“It will also further leverage our existing risk management platforms to address the next generation of risk assessment for Australian corporates,” Mr Kelly said.
“We are delighted to be welcoming the Riskcom and BRM teams to Steadfast Risk Group so that we bring new value in delivering risk management solutions for our clients.”
Earl Eddings will continue as Riskcom CEO, reporting to Steadfast Group EGM Corporate Development Martyn Thompson. Mr Eddings, formerly Cricket Australia Chairman, has extensive management consulting experience and will advise on a range of risk assessments and strategies for Steadfast clients.
Melbourne-based Riskcom was founded in 2016 and says it “offers its clients compelling new ways to manage risk and compliance through emerging technologies and practical experience”.
