Services
How we help
Corporate insurance strategy and governance
Helping leadership teams understand their organisation's insurance requirements, review the structure and governance of existing arrangements, and prepare for informed discussions with authorised brokers and insurers.
Fractional risk and insurance support
Flexible access to experienced senior support for businesses that need internal risk and insurance capability without building a permanent function. This support is strategic, operational and buyer-side. It does not include selling, arranging or placing insurance.
Complex projects and problem-solving
Practical support for new products, new markets, unusual risks, insurance programme challenges, claims strategy and difficult commercial situations.
Enterprise risk strategy
Helping leadership teams identify, prioritise and manage the operational, commercial, financial and strategic risks that could affect customers, people, resilience and growth.
Outrigger provides independent corporate consultancy and strategic support. We do not sell, arrange, recommend or place insurance. Regulated insurance services are provided separately by appropriately authorised firms.
