About Abbott Risk Consulting Ltd

Since 2002, Abbott Risk Consulting (ARC) has provided invaluable consultancy services to some of the most high-hazard industries in the global economy.

From 12 sites across the UK and Australia, the company helps to work out the risk associated with hazardous events, such as oil platforms exploding, trains crashing, or accidents affecting nuclear power stations.

Simply being a world-class consultancy in the safety and risk environment isn’t enough for ARC - they are also dedicated to being a great place to work.

Their core principles are centred around helping staff have a happy and healthy work-life balance, treating everybody in the organisation the same and creating a positive, tolerant and rewarding working culture for everyone.

ARC is headquartered in Edinburgh and led by Managing Director John Abbott, who is passionate about helping staff find the confidence to be the best they can be and engages with every employee on a regular basis over WhatsApp, phone calls and emails.
