The central aim of the Chartered ethos is to increase public trust in our profession. It is a symbol of technical competence and says that as a business, Ravenhall Risk Solutions will act in their customer’s best interests. We display our Chartered badge with pride as this serves as a mark of trust for those around us. At Ravenhall Group, we invest in our people and ensure that they also align their business values to the professional code of ethics set out by the Institute.

Director, Neil Grimshaw says “When Chartered Status was launched by the CII we knew that achieving this status was our goal, we managed to do this within a year of its Launch and have maintained these standards for over a decade. As a team, we strive for excellence, build partnerships with our clients, and commit to go above and beyond. The team lives by these values, and Chartered Status advertises this to our customers and partners”
