Tranquilico | About us | Founded 2008

ABOUT US

tranquilico has been working in the travel industry, sport and educational sectors for many years, helping companies both big and small to get their risk management into shape.
Installing safety management systems so that due diligence is in place and creating bespoke crisis management plans in the event things go wrong.

tranquilico was founded in 2008 by Managing Director Colin McGregor to be a resource for travel firms who wanted to be world class in terms of health, safety & crisis management for clients, suppliers and staff

Colin asked a number of key questions of his clients when he set the firm up, the answers to which became instrumental:

Are you prepared for any eventuality with your customers?

Do you understand your health & safety responsibilities?

Do you have due diligence procedures in place?

Do you have crisis management policies and procedures set up?

You know you need them but not sure what to do?

Ask yourself these questions and if you're unsure about the answers, get in touch.
