COMPLIANCE & RISK ASSESSMENT PLATFORM FOR CHANGE
Beatriz Shorrock, Chief Executive Officer of Vantify, explains how the company’s integrated solutions are revolutionising compliance and risk assessment.
My journey into the world of compliance and risk management began in a rather unexpected place – my mum and dad’s business. Growing up, I watched my Spanish-speaking parents navigate the complexities of running a catering company in the UK, and I wanted to help them as much as I could. I saw firsthand how difficult it was to stay on top of regulations and ensure that health and safety protocols were followed, along with the added challenge of a language barrier and complex terminology. It was through these early experiences that I realised how critical, trustworthy and reliable systems are to protecting businesses and, most importantly, people.
Compliance and risk management are huge responsibilities for facilities managers and building owners, and if operational systems are disjointed and unable to communicate effectively, it can make their jobs even more difficult. The rise in workplace accidents over the past few years has brought this issue to the forefront of our minds, highlighting an urgent need for something to change. We believe that integrated solutions to manage health and safety more effectively have a major role to play in significantly reducing accidents and deaths in building facilities.
I have seen how trying to make sense of disparate systems and manual processes can constrain growing businesses – and I know that if a platform like Vantify had existed, it would have been a game-changer.
According to the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) figures, 138 workers were killed in work-related accidents in 2023/24, marking a 12% increase from 2021/22. Industries such as hospitality have also experienced a concerning rise in workplace injuries. These statistics are a stark reminder of the need for change. Poor risk management doesn’t just affect the bottom line – it can cost lives.
Vantify, a UK-based full-service compliance software, is offering a new solution. We’ve committed over £5m to developing a digital ecosystem designed to streamline risk and compliance management. This initiative follows a comprehensive review of more than 20,000 risk assessments conducted by Vantify Risk Manager (formerly known as Meridian) and feedback from hundreds of leading organisations using Vantify's consultancy services, which highlighted how health and safety workloads have reached unprecedented levels.
To tackle these challenges, Vantify has brought together three key industry players – William Martin, Elogs, and Prosure360 – to offer seven essential services. These include:
Safety consultancy: Expert advice and support. Risk management software: Centralised oversight of risk processes. Supply chain management: Ensuring compliance throughout supply networks.

Computer-Aided Facilities Management: Streamlining operational systems. Vetted contractor networks: Access to reliable, pre- approved contractors. E-learning tools: Providing ongoing education and compliance training. Legislative resources: Ensuring compliance with evolving industry standards.
What sets Vantify apart is our UK-based, in-house health and safety advice team available 24/7, offering consistent support across multiple industries. I know from experience that navigating compliance requirements without this kind of support can be daunting. Businesses are under a lot of pressure at the moment, adapting to a lot of change, and the last thing they need is the added task of juggling multiple systems, making it difficult to maintain oversight, worried something will slip through the cracks. Vantify eliminates this problem by consolidating everything into one powerful platform.
The risk and compliance sector may not be the most obvious place for disruption, but change is essential. A platform that delivers complete oversight of facilities, risk management, and supply chain systems is vital to improving safety, boosting efficiency, and ensuring compliance. Pair this with around-the-clock people- delivered services, and you have a powerful combination of dedicated support and industry-leading technology ready to meet your organisation’s needs.
Described by a key client as the “holy grail” for mitigating risk and improving facility standards, Vantify is being hailed as a transformative tool in the health and safety industry.
For facilities managers, conserving time, maintaining compliance, and enhancing efficiency are critical. Poor oversight can have severe repercussions, but with Vantify’s all-in-one platform, businesses are equipped with the tools needed to mitigate risk, avoid costly errors, and safeguard lives. Reflecting on my own experience, I know just how transformational that can be – and I’m proud to be leading a company that’s driving real change.
