To celebrate our 50th anniversary, we asked Control Risks experts from across the globe to reflect on the moments when they really made the difference for their clients. Trevor Kibet Langat, an Analyst in our Political and Country Risk team based in Nairobi, explains why perspective was so important to his work helping companies navigate mass protests: "It's important for us to be able to offer to our clients both that bigger picture view and also a very localised view of the specific industry or the specific sector that they want to look into." For 50 years, we've been there. Our journey has always been about looking forward to what’s next.
