Services & Retainers
All enquiries are handled personally and in strict confidence. We do not operate mailing lists, sales funnels, or automated follow-ups; contact is entirely at your discretion. On rare occasions, we extend exclusive invitations to select individuals and organisations to engage more formally with our advisory network.
In addition to our Strategic Risk Consulting, Special Risks Consulting, Training, Workshops, Retreats, and Speaking Engagements, we offer a dedicated range of monthly retainer packages designed for continuity and ease of engagement with you as a private client, or your corporation or organisation.
Effective risk management demands more than a one-time audit; it requires continuous intelligence and adaptive expertise. Our monthly retainer services transform your relationship with risk from reactive to predictive. By engaging the unvarnished truth of your operational landscape, we provide the consistent clarity and strategic counsel required to maintain control, build permanent resilience, and secure continuous growth.

Initiating an SRA Partnership: The Formal Engagement Process
We begin every potential partnership with a confidential Introduction Call and verification to thoroughly understand your specific risk landscape, strategic objectives, and precise requirements. Once we have agreed a mutual fit, we will arrange a follow-up meeting to discuss the strategic structure in detail. This ensures your needs are aligned with the most appropriate Retainer Package or bespoke hourly arrangement from the outset.
Following the initial discussion and meeting, if mutually agreed upon, we will commence the formal client take-on process.
Please note that any professional consulting engagement can only commence if we are formally and legally engaged to do so. This process is mandatory to protect both parties and requires the full execution of the following binding documentation:
-
A fully executed Engagement Letter signed by both parties, confirming the scope and duration of the retainer.
-
Our binding Service Contract Terms and Conditions, which govern the working relationship, confidentiality, and responsibilities.
-
A specific Schedule 2 Service Agreement detailing the exact scope of services we will provide, tailored precisely to your organisation's immediate needs and strategic goals.
Your security and discretion are paramount; this structured process ensures absolute clarity and confidentiality from day one.
