International Location Safety & RiskPal Join Forces to Enhance Risk Management

Published On: February 25, 2025Categories: Company Update

We are delighted to announce a new partnership with International Location Safety (ILS), bringing an exciting new offering to travel risk management for Higher Education.

This partnership provides access to a complimentary combination of RiskPal’s cutting-edge risk assessment software and the ILS risk advisory and training services. With the new Help Desk service, clients can now have responsive, cost-effective travel risk management support from the ILS Risk Advisory team.

The partnership was born from a desire to improve the travel risk management services on offer to the Higher Education sector.

Here is what RiskPal’s COO, Tom Bacon, and ILS Managing Director, George Shaw, want you to know:

Tom Bacon, RiskPal COO

“University travel managers have to oversee hundreds or thousands of trips a year, often without in-house risk management expertise to advise on more complex trips. We are delighted to bring together the ILS risk advisory services with our risk assessment platform, giving the sector a scalable, cost-effective solution that enhances duty of care. I’m really excited about this partnership.” – Tom Bacon

“We are absolutely thrilled to be working with RiskPal. ILS has been delivering ‘human’ risk management and training solutions to support academic sector travel for many years. However, we believe that the scale of need in the sector, driven more recently by the requirements of ISO31030, demands the application of a technology solution that enables University Travel Risk Managers to deliver a robust, cost effective and scalable risk assessment platform. We believe that RiskPal is the perfect solution, and we are thrilled to be working with them to deliver advice, support and training for complex and high-risk trips through our exclusive HelpDesk service.” – George Shaw

George Shaw, ILS Managing Director
