🛑Managing Risk🛑 When it comes to making ambitious, memorable TV and film, there’s usually an element of risk. Filming penguins perched on the Antarctic shelf or bonobos in the Congolese jungle. Surfing with Chris Hemsworth in the Norwegian Arctic or 4×4 expeditions across the Sahara. We help your favourite shows pull off the impossible. Whatever the project and whatever the goal, we make sure risk is handled responsibly, so you can concentrate on making great TV. Our in-depth risk analysis and management expertise will protect your people, your project, and your budget. #secretcompass #risk #theresalwaysaway

🔶An update from SCHQ🔶 After an epic 15 years of adventure, we’re closing the chapter on Secret Compass expeditions. To say it’s been an incredible journey would be an understatement – we’ve achieved the unachievable, explored the unreachable and got some unbelievable stories to tell. We’re grateful for every team leader, local guide and all our dedicated staff. But we’re most thankful to the awesome teammates who put their trust in us to deliver them the trip of a lifetime. And that we certainly did… Our final expeditions of 2024 are full steam ahead, so if you’re booked in don’t worry - Papua New Guinea departs in October and Wales this June. So, what and where next? It will be no surprise that we have some big plans. Secret Compass will continue to take people off the beaten track, delivering trusted risk management on some of the most adventurous TV shows and films in the world. No one knows risk better than we do, which is why we’re trusted by the best in the biz – from Nat Geo and Disney to the Discovery Channel and BBC. This isn’t goodbye. We’ll be doing more epic things on your TV screens very soon. We’ll have more BTS to share. More insider info, top tips and how-to guides. It’s going to get even wilder, even more remote, and even more epic. Stick around for the ride, we promise, it’s going to be a good one. Cheers, Team SC #secretcompass #theresalwaysaway
