Management Team

Simon Marvell, Partner

Simon Marvell is a serial entrepreneur in the risk management industry. On graduating from Loughborough University in 1983 he joined the UK’s first specialist risk management and security consultancy team, at BIS led by Ken Wong.  In 1991 he founded Insight Consulting and, over a period of 13 years, developed it into one of the UK’s most successful risk management service companies before selling the business to Siemens, the German electronics giant.

Simon formed Acuity Risk Management with Richard Mayall in 2005 to address the market need for flexible, easy to use Enterprise compliance and risk management software solutions.  Under Simon’s leadership, in less than two years Acuity had developed its STREAM portfolio of products and secured blue-chip clients in multiple business sectors for a variety of risk applications.

Throughout his career as a consultant, manager and business owner, Simon has been committed to excellence in both product quality and customer service.
