Hellios Wins Specialist Risk Company of the Year at the 2025 CIR Risk Management Awards

At Hellios, we believe supplier assurance works best when it’s built on collaboration, transparency and shared standards. Last week in London, that belief was recognised on one of the industry’s biggest stages. 

When our name was announced as the winner, the judges highlighted the impact our approach is having across the risk management landscape. In their words, “Effectively addressing genuine industry pain points, Hellios Information demonstrated innovation, credibility and practical impact, setting a new benchmark in its field.”

This award celebrates excellence in the risk management arena, and is the pinnacle of achievement in the field – recognising the best people, products and programmes in the sector for over a decade.

This recognition shows the strength of the FSQS and JOSCAR communities - thousands of buyers and suppliers who work together every day to raise standards, reduce risk and build trust in complex supply chains. 

A Recognition Of Community-Led Transformation

FSQS and JOSCAR aren’t just compliance platforms - they are governed frameworks shaped jointly by industry leaders, SMEs and procurement experts. Together, they enable transparent, efficient and consistent supplier assurance across sectors where risk and regulatory change are constant.

By supporting standardisation, sharing knowledge and reducing duplicated effort, our communities help organisations strengthen resilience while giving suppliers of every size access to new opportunities. This award celebrates that collective effort.

Celebrating a Global Team Effort

The award also recognises the passion and expertise of Hellios colleagues across the UK, Europe, Australia and beyond. From technology and data to onboarding, customer success and governance, every team plays a vital role in helping organisations manage risk and grow with confidence.

As we continue to expand internationally and launch new solutions, this achievement energises our mission: to simplify supplier data collection, reduce risk through shared standards and empower organisations to collaborate more effectively.

What's Next?

Winning Specialist Risk Company of the Year marks an exciting milestone - but it’s only the start. We are committed to evolving our communities, strengthening global partnerships and shaping the future of supplier assurance.

Thank you to our members, colleagues and partners for being part of this journey. We look forward to continuing to build trust, resilience and opportunity together.
