The risk management association of Malta (MARM) and Slovenia (SI.RISK) have been accepted as the latest members of the Federation of European Risk Management Associations (FERMA). They bring to a total of 19 the number of countries whose risk managers are represented in FERMA.

Peter den Dekker, the President of FERMA, said: “I am thrilled to welcome these new members to FERMA. Their enthusiasm shows the recognition of FERMA as the voice for the European risk manager and demonstrates the growing development and professionalism of risk management across Europe.”

The Maltese Association of Risk Management (MARM)
The enthusiasm of the members of the founding council of the Maltese Association of Risk Management has enabled them to build a new organisation to promote the knowledge and use of risk management within the private and public sectors in the Maltese Islands.

A dedicated LinkedIn group served as a catalyst.

The President of MARM, John Schembri, comments, “Malta is possibly the smallest European state with an effervescent economy. Risk management is an emerging area of management and the market signs are that it is now ripe for more focus and attention. The association intends to reach out to all sectors of the risk management market in the Maltese Islands. MARM shall be a very proud member of FERMA and all of us will endeavour to promote risk management in the best light possible within a growing market.”
The council members of MARM are John Schembri (President), Ian-Edward Stafrace (Vice President), Mario Genovese (Treasurer), Andre Farrugia (Secretary), John O’Dea (public relations officer) and Simon Grima (council member). They come from various business sectors including financial services, aviation, safety/security, manufacturing, retail and hospitality and public sector.
