COMPANY PROFILE
Brand refresh connects industry-innovator origins of OAMPS Hazardous Industries to future growth strategy
OAMPS Hazardous Industries, the specialist insurance advisor to the hazardous goods and environmental sectors, has undergone a brand refresh to mark 40 years of consistent commitment to the sector.
The use of ‘heritage blue’ throughout its website, advertising and social channels is a deliberate nod to OAMPS’ origins in the 1980s as an innovator that emerged to deliver fleet risk solutions to the highly specialist hazardous fuels sector when no others were available.
Over the next four decades, the blueprint for developing those bespoke insurance solutions for fuel distributors has been applied and expanded to encompass everything from chemical companies, anaerobic digestion, and adhesives & sealants to environmental contractors, oil/chemical waste & recycling, and LPG distribution and haulage. Today, OAMPS Hazardous Industries can cover every aspect of clients’ requirements from manufacture to wholesale, distribution, import/export, storage, haulage, installation and servicing.
Brand origins
Forty years ago in the early 1980s, following some large explosions in the late 1970s, health and safety concerns surrounding the movement of hazardous fuels had resulted in the whole sector finding itself well outside the appetite of mainstream insurance brokers and insurance companies.
OAMPS Hazardous Industries was founded by petrochemical specialists to change that.

Incorporated as OAMPS UK Limited in 1985, OAMPS Hazardous Industries began life placing high-risk fuel fleet motor business into its own, specially established insurance captive to ensure the wheels could keep turning on a vital sector that underpins so many industries.
Brand refresh
Building and maintaining close working relationships with leading industry organisations has played a crucial part in OAMPS Hazardous Industries reaching its 40th year and looking ahead to the decades to come, by ensuring its knowledge and industry insight grow in step with the sectors it supports.
Commenting on the brand refresh to recognise four decades in business, Karl Jones, Account Director at OAMPS Hazardous Industries, said: “To mark 40 years of unwavering commitment to the industries we support, our return to heritage blue ties together a past, present and future where our core values remain unchanged.
“OAMPS Hazardous Industries was a ‘disruptor’ before the term even existed. It was created out of real need, to develop viable alternative risk solutions for customers in the downstream fuel market where there were none. And that same approach – blending innovation with integrity and expertise with transparency – powers our business today.
