A NORTH-EAST risk management
group is aiming to double
its workforce in the next 18
months as demand for its services
soars.
Security Risk Management, of
Newcastle, is looking to increase
its number of employees from 15
to at least 30 by the end of next
year.
The decision came after the firm
received large amounts of work
since it moved to the North-East
from Surrey three years ago.

The company's turnover has
also reached a record level of
£500,000, and is expected to rise
further after a £150,000 funding
boost from Evolve Finance, the
specialist mezzanine and debt division
of NEL Fund Managers.
Stephen Brown, managing director
at Security Risk Management,
said the future for the firm
looked promising.
"There is an increasing demand
for risk management services,
particularly in the financial
services and IT sectors," he
said.
"We also have a forensic laboratory
specialising in computer
crime, in which we carry out corporate
investigations with police
forces and legal aid professions.
"We have organically grown to
£500,000 turnover with no outside
investment until now."
