Providing an exceptional, comprehensive and proven range of risk management & security solutions
Client safety when out in the field is paramount to Solace Global, therefore the Response Managers keep a watchful eye over all our customers and their every move as they travel around the world. We’re tasked with creating, planning and then informing the customer of their upcoming journeys. Alistair joined Solace Global after returning to the UK from living in New Zealand for three years, where he assisted with the rebuild of Christchurch after the deadly earthquakes. Prior to this he lived and worked in Sydney, Australia for a year and travelled extensively around South East Asia.

Ben joined Solace in 2016 as part of the in-house software development team. Ben specialises in App development having studied programming at university.
A mathematics graduate from the University of Warwick, Ben particularly enjoys building things, be it his bike, or a complex multi-threaded program.
Ben finds greatest satisfaction in his work when it's for the benefit of others, he says, even though he has built himself a “Ben app” for keeping himself organised.
Working on an intelligence platform in the interest of the safety of others seems the right fit. In his spare time, Ben is also an avid cyclist and runner trying to always improve those numbers, being a mathematician.
