Specialist risk and marine consultancy Marex has formalised a strategic partnership with Human Risk Reduction Services (HRRS) Ltd.
The agreement marks a significant step forward in the company’s restructuring and expansion of its services, establishing human factors as a key dedicated pillar within the company’s core service offering.
The partnership emphasises human factors as a crucial aspect of Marex, reflecting the increasing demand for this expertise as regulatory standards rise and operational environments grow more complex.
Human factors engineering minimises the risk of failure by designing systems that align with how people think, feel and operate. This leads to more user-friendly control room interfaces, improved situational awareness during emergencies, and improved safety-critical performance.
HRRS founder Tim Southam and Marex managing director Wayne Henderson.
By partnering with HRRS and its founder Tim Southam, Marex significantly enhances its ability to address human-performance challenges in high-hazard industries. Clients will benefit from Tim’s 30 years of international experience in human factors integration, human error analysis and organisational performance enhancement, supported by extensive cross-cultural work across multiple sectors.

“We have worked closely with Tim for many years, and formalising this arrangement is a natural progression for Marex,” said Wayne Henderson, managing director of Marex.
“As we restructure our business to focus clearly on marine, risk, AI and human factors, this partnership ensures we have the depth of expertise needed to meet rising client demand and bolster safety resilience.”
Tim Southam, founder of HRRS Ltd, said: “Human factors is not an optional addition, it is a critical driver of safer, more resilient and more efficient operations.
“By integrating Marex’s marine and risk expertise with HRRS’s specialised human factors capabilities, we are developing a compelling, future-focused offering for clients navigating increasingly complex and regulated environments.”
