New partnership forged between PAL Protect and 631 Risk Management

Under the leadership of managing director Paul Griffin, 631 Risk Management brings extensive expertise of delivering independent risk assurance reviews for executive teams and account directors alike. The organisation’s structured three-step methodology ensures a thorough review of existing risk frameworks and enhances internal risk analysis processes in order to support accurate and informed decision-making.

Ian Pugh, director of PAL Protect, explained: “Our partnership with 631 Risk Management strengthens PAL Protect’s ability to deliver premium consultancy services. Paul’s knowledge and experience will add real value to our team. As an independent consultant, he brings fresh insight and specialist advice aligning perfectly with PAL Protect’s mission to provide top-tier protection through our consultancy services, which will directly benefit our clients.”

Paul Griffin responded: “Having worked closely with Ian through industry Working Groups, the opportunity to align with PAL Protect was an easy decision. Ian’s reputation in the UK security sector is exceptional, while PAL Protect’s tailored and professional services perfectly complement what we strive to deliver at 631 Risk Management. I’m extremely excited about this next chapter and the significant value we can provide to clients moving forward.”

Risk assurance proposals

Together, Pugh and Griffin are already preparing to deliver high-level risk assurance proposals for multiple clients, including the development of crisis management procedures for a global Shopping Centre operator and a comprehensive Health and Safety-centred risk assurance review for the executive team at a global retailer.

Griffin’s extensive leadership experience gained through spells at Virgin Atlantic, McArthurGlen Designer Outlets and Formula E Racing means this collaboration brings “unmatched industry insight” and “a proactive approach” to safeguarding operational resilience.

In light of recent high-profile prosecutions across the leisure and retail sectors, 631 Risk Management and PAL Protect’s partnership comes at a critical time, with growing pressure on executive teams to demonstrate robust risk management and tested control frameworks.

Working closely together, the two organisations aim to deliver Best-in-Class solutions that help clients build secure, resilient and compliant operations across a variety of sectors.
