INCIDENT management and roadside services company FMG has won a national award.

The Huddersfield-based business took the Risk Management Award for its Ingenium Dynamics advanced driver behaviour management system at this year’s British Insurance Awards .

Known as the “Oscars” for the insurance industry, the awards recognise firms that have made an outstanding contribution to their sector, either through their service provision or product innovation.

FMG, based at St Andrew’s Road, Bradley Mills, is the UK’s only incident management and roadside services company committed to reducing the frequency and impact of incidents.

The firm’s Ingenium Dynamics system has been hailed by transport safety experts as a highly effective way to manage driver risk.

Winning the award provides further recognition of FMG’s commitment to bringing about a significant change in the fleet management sector.

Ingenium Dynamics improves driver behaviour by making it easier to identify, manage and remove risk. As a result, FMG’s fleet clients are seeing a 25% to 80% reduction in incident claims. In a separate application of the technology, loss ratios for a young drivers’ insurance scheme with leading insurer Marmalade have been reduced to 40% from a typical industry average often in excess of 100%.

FMG chief executive John Catling (pictured, above) said: “We believe that prevention is better than cure, so our team works hard to deliver services and products that make a real difference to the number of incidents and the way these are handled.

“It’s a fantastic achievement to have this recognised by the insurance industry and we look forward to further successes with Ingenium Dynamics.”
