HRM – Horn Risk Management

Security and Risk Management

The ethos of HRM is to facilitate organisations in their work bringing a sustainable approach to development to the region, in a safe and secure manner. It is key for HRM to do this from a locally-driven perspective, ensuring that jobs and the economy surrounding the sector are delivered back to the local communities in which HRM’s projects operate.

It is HRM’s mission to provide a service which allows the client to achieve their goals with as little disruption, in a complex environment, as possible.
