Insurance Broker and Risk Advisory Firm Helmer Kicks Off New Year with New Name, New Web Presence and Industry Speaking Engagement

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- With a new Web site (http://www.helmerusa.com), a new logo (http://www.ereleases.com/pr/Helmer-logo.gif) and a speaking engagement on the calendar, Helmer Risk Management has updated its brand for 2009, complete with a streamlined new name: Helmer.

Insurance broker, risk advisor and Helmer president and CEO Scott A. Helmer decided to retool his company's branding to communicate the firm's value and service offerings more precisely.

"We decided to drop 'risk management' from the company name and add the 'insurance broker/risk advisor' tagline to define clearly the services Helmer offers," Scott Helmer explained.

The New Year is off to a busy start for Helmer. At the NonDestructive Testing Management Association (NDTMA) 2009 Annual Conference in Las Vegas on February 11, Scott Helmer will share strategies NDTMA members can use to make their companies safer and more profitable; Helmer, a member of the NDTMA, will also provide tips on reducing insurance costs.

Safety is a crucial but often overlooked part of cutting costs, according to Helmer. In fact, safety is so integral to running an efficient organization, Helmer provides all of its clients with ongoing, comprehensive, industry-leading safety training and support. Committed to fostering a long-term relationship with each client, Helmer makes the investment in this vital training and support on behalf of its clients at the outset. That's something most other insurance brokers do not offer; the very few that do see the value of safety training and support charge their clients for the service.

Helmer, on the other hand, provides turnkey safety solutions customized to meet each client's unique needs. The company incorporates a variety of delivery methods, including classroom and in-the-field training, Safety Officer Boot Camp, online training, creation or revision of procedures and protocols, and more. Though it is a value-added service, Helmer's safety training and support is completely tailored for every client.

"I am pleased to be speaking to representatives of the non-destructive testing industry this month," said Scott Helmer. "We at Helmer are excited to show companies how to cut costs and boost profits in this recession, even as they reduce their risks. Safety is a big part of that."
