In the second part of our 10th anniversary blog series, the ILS Risk Advisory Team highlights the importance of Duty of Care in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Here at ILS we are excited to launch a brand new range of Travel Risk Support Services!

So many organisations that work overseas acknowledge the need, but do not have the capacity or expertise to professionally manage the safety of their travellers when they are away from home.

Using our online booking tool, your travellers can request bespoke travel risk support by filling in their trip details online. They will receive a fully tailored service, focussed on their personal profile and destination details, to enable them to conduct travel as safely as possible.
