As we say goodbye to 2023 a quote from Joshua J. Marine comes to mind; “Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” 

As I look forward to 2024 I know that we will face challenges but the Cardinus team are absolutely focused on overcoming them.

Keep reading as Andy Hawkes, CEO, Cardinus Risk Management reflects on Cardinus’ 2023 highlights and what we expect in 2024.

2023: A recap  

Global economic improvement and the easing cost of living crisis, is overshadowed by ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. In the UK, escalating workplace conflicts and protests, from various causes, contributing to increased violence on our streets. These challenges elevate risks for physical and human assets, posing difficulties for health, safety, security and wellbeing professionals.

Agile solutions for our clients’ ever-changing needs

During 2023, we continued to develop solutions to meet the needs of our clients across the world and our global regulatory solution has been in strong demand. We can now provide office (ergonomics) regulatory advice in 132 countries to support our clients. In addition we can offer virtual and onsite ergonomic assessments and health and safety audits in 191 countries.

We have continued to win many new clients with a number of well-known global brands coming on board and boast over 6 million employee users on our systems.

Managed Services underpins growth

Over the past year we’ve seen a significant demand from clients wanting us to manage their Healthy Working ergonomics program. The team now looks after over 100 clients from roll outs, day to day management and monthly reporting. We manage virtual and onsite assessments across the globe and  work with specialist equipment suppliers to provide a true end-to-end solution.

Industrial ergonomics growth

Our partnership with Australian-based Longitude6 goes from strength to strength. Our innovative  motion capture and sensor technologies are supporting clients in the UK and USA. We launched our state of the art AI motion capture system, MotionTrack6.  This solution is really exciting and we looking forward to demonstrating it to clients this year.

Market leader in property and insurance risk control solutions

The Cardinus property division has managed increasing demand for our BAFE fire risk assessments, health and safety audits, and RICS Reinstatement Cost Assessments.

Our insurance outsourcing team is firmly established as a UK top 3 provider of audits for a number of major insurers, brokers and managing general agencies. Both divisions are supported by our market-leading INDIGO software platform, which enables clients to book, track, report and follow up on risk mitigation.

We have completed the INDIGO API integration with cloud based property management platform, Dwellent. This provides the essential database and reporting for the new Building Safety Case regulations.

Delivering services to over 20 countries

Our consultancy team has provided global health and safety regulatory advice for a number of large clients, completing audits in over 20 countries. We  delivered  a variety of behavioural training workshops as well as conflict management training and safe travel advice.

Cardinus’ year in numbers

• Over 6m user visits to our Healthy Working and other 32 eLearning courses.
• 15,789 Virtual Ergonomics Assessments completed in 49 countries and 24 languages.
• 4,123 Combined Fire and Health and Safety Assessments.
• 3,929 Insurance Risk Surveys.
• 4,120 Reinstatement Cost Assessments.
• 18% organic growth.

Looking to the future: Risk management more important than ever

As we step into 2024, global macro challenges persist, possibly leading to increased unrest and conflict risk. As part of the Amwins Group, Cardinus has robust support for substantial technology investments.

Plans are in motion to transition to Microsoft Azure and upgrade CRM and core software solutions. We eagerly anticipate launching the Building Safety Case Report solution, designed to address changes in UK property regulations.

Our new fleet risk management software is live, featuring customised eLearning, risk assessments and full API links to license checking tools. Additionally, we offer a suite of micro-learning videos covering various aspects of driving risk.

Cardinus’ competitive edge

Unlike our competitors, Cardinus uniquely combines software and services, aiming to solve 100% of our clients’ problems. We offer on-site assessments, audits, face-to-face training and consultancy, with online learning and risk assessments. Virtual assessments via the web are also part of our comprehensive approach to ensure problems are fully addressed. This commitment will persist as our guiding principle.

Wishing all our clients a safe and successful 2024, Cardinus will continue to listen, learn, and transparently understand today’s and tomorrow’s needs for the benefit of our clients.
