Engineer and Insurance Specialist Launch UK's First Dedicated Process Facility Insurance Training Academy

Shrewsbury, England - June 2026: A Chartered Environmental Engineer and a specialist insurance broker have joined forces to create the Process Facility Insurance Savings Academy - an online training platform designed to give process facility owners, operators and managers the specialist insurance knowledge they need to protect their assets, manage their risks and secure competitive cover at renewal.

The Process Facility Insurance Savings Academy has launched at https://dashboard.processfacilityinsurance.uk/ga/eyqnv , bringing together the technical expertise of Chartered Environmental Engineer Steve Last of IPPTS Associates and the specialist insurance market knowledge of David MacDonald, Client Director at FCA-regulated broker Konsileo.

The Academy addresses a knowledge gap that has long existed at the intersection of two highly specialised disciplines. Process facility operators - managing anaerobic digestion plants, biogas sites, waste treatment facilities, energy from waste plants, composting sites, materials recovery facilities and a wide range of other industrial operations - face some of the most complex insurance challenges in the UK industrial sector.

Yet access to genuinely specialist, impartial insurance guidance has until now required engaging two separate consultants and hoping they communicated effectively with each other.

The Academy changes that by combining both disciplines in a single resource - providing facility operators with practical, technically grounded training that reflects how process facilities actually operate and how insurance underwriters actually assess and price the risks they present.

Steve Last, founder of IPPTS Associates and course tutor at the Academy, said:

"Process facility insurance is a battleground where neither side fully understands the other. Insurers struggle to price risks they cannot fully assess. Operators struggle to explain risks they have not formally assessed. The Academy exists to close that gap - giving facility managers the knowledge and confidence to present their risks clearly, implement effective controls and approach the insurance market as well-prepared, credible risks."

David MacDonald, Client Director at Konsileo, said:

"I understand the differences that each sector holds and the requirement for a tailored, personalised approach when providing risk management advice. What this Academy gives operators is the foundation they need before they even speak to a broker - an understanding of their own risk profile that makes every subsequent conversation more productive and every renewal more competitive."

The Process Facility Insurance Savings Academy offers a structured programme of online training courses covering:

- How to carry out a risk assessment to identify insurance cover needed for a process facility
