Markets
Our target markets are high-risk industries such as mining, heavy manufacturing, aviation, marine, ground transportation, construction, forestry and power generation and power distribution. It is here that our consultants believe that they have been able to apply their experience and knowledge for the maximum benefit of the client.
However, the principles of risk management that we advocate can be adapted to any industry including food processing, retail and government sectors and we have a number of clients in these areas.
The Jim Knowles Group is also increasingly working internationally providing risk management services to mining companies in South Africa, South America, New Zealand, China and South-East Asia.
