Who are LRQA?
LRQA stands for dedication to clients, market firsts, and deep expertise in risk management. We've grown to become the leading global assurance provider, bringing together outstanding expertise in certification, customised assurance, ESG, cybersecurity, inspection, and training. While we're proud of our heritage, it's who we are today that really matters, because that's what shapes who we and our clients can become tomorrow. By staying true to our shared values and combining decades of collective experience, we support our clients in building a safer and more sustainable future.
We help our clients negotiate a rapidly changing world by working with them to manage and mitigate the risks they face.
We specialise in management systems compliance and expert advice across a broad spectrum of standards, schemes, and business improvement services, including customised training and assurance. In Inspection Services, we certify safety-critical industrial equipment according to recognised codes, standards, and regulations. We also partner with companies to provide tailored high-quality inspection services throughout their manufacturing supply chains, making sure equipment is built safely and to their requirements.
Our award-winning Cyber Security Business Nettitude helps clients manage their risks against a backdrop of new threats emerging every day. We focus on the threat in the cyber landscape and provide tailored solutions so that our clients can manage their risks effectively. Our independence means we provide reliable, impartial, and informed advice. All of this helps us stand by the purpose that drives us every single day: shaping a better future together. LRQA currently operates across 50 countries, has more than 2,500 colleagues, generates £315m in revenue, and supports more than 60,000 clients across a diverse range of sectors and markets.
The Next Chapter for LRQA
The future is exciting and rapidly changing. New challenges and opportunities are arising all the time. We're adapting to these challenges by expanding our portfolio of services and aiming to become the leading digitally enabled assurance provider. In December 2021, Goldman Sachs Asset Management acquired the LRQA business from Lloyd's Register Group. Becoming an independent business accelerated our ability to realise our ambitious growth plans.
With solid expertise and heritage in our sector, coupled with well-timed accelerated investment and a leadership team that is fully committed to delivering our vision, LRQA's next chapter is set to be an exciting, transformational period of growth. We're well placed to build on everything we've done and further our ambitions for the future. At such an exciting time, this is a great opportunity to be part of our next chapter.
