About Elmar Risk Management

Elmar Risk Management is a small, family-run consultancy based in Gloucester, founded in March 2024. We specialise in helping small and medium-sized businesses and charities stay safe and compliant - offering expert, hands-on advice across compliance, data protection, information security, health and safety, and energy compliance.

Peter Berry

Peter has over 20 years' experience in the UK energy sector, specialising in compliance, data protection, information security, and risk management. His career has taken him across some of the UK's most significant regulated organisations - includingAlt HAN Co andRWE Npower - where he built and managed compliance programmes at scale.

He founded Elmar Risk Management to bring that senior-level expertise directly to small and medium-sized businesses - organisations that need the same quality of compliance support but rarely have access to it. His approach is practical and outcomes-focused: no unnecessary complexity, no jargon, just clear guidance that helps businesses operate safely and with confidence.

Peter is also a strong advocate for diversity and inclusion in the workplace, and regularly delivers training and coaching sessions that help teams build positive, inclusive compliance cultures - rather than simply ticking boxes.

“Peter is a highly skilled compliance professional with deep knowledge of the energy industry, ISO 27001 and ISO 45001 certification. He creates a positive compliance culture, delivers practical solutions, and supports teams through training, leadership, and strategic insight. A true asset to any organisation.”

How We Work

Our Approach

Compliance doesn't have to mean a full-time hire. Elmar operates as your outsourced compliance office - giving you access to senior expertise exactly when and how you need it.

All the expertise. None of the overhead.

Hiring a full-time compliance officer typically means salary, benefits, training, and management overhead, often £50,000 to £80,000 per year before those additional costs. An outsourced compliance office with Elmar gives you the same level of senior expertise and ongoing support, scoped precisely to what your business actually needs, at a fraction of the cost.

Built-in specialist depth.

Compliance rarely stays in one lane. When a project calls for niche expertise - legal interpretation, sector-specific technical standards, or international data transfer frameworks - we draw on a network of vetted subject matter experts who work alongside us on a project basis. You get the right specialist for the task, without the cost of retaining them permanently.
