RMI Global Solutions operates as a specialized partner for organizations in complex and high-risk environments, delivering integrated medical, security, and Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) services. The company was established in 2003 by Andrew Cull, a remote area paramedic, initially as Remote Medicine, Inc., focusing on medical training and supplies. It rebranded to Remote Medical International (RMI) in 2005 and later evolved into RMI Global Solutions to reflect its expanded service portfolio.
The firm's growth has been marked by strategic acquisitions and service expansions. In 2013, a significant $8 million investment from Columbia Pacific Management facilitated the launch of its RMI Topside Assistance telemedicine service. Key acquisitions include HSE Offshore in 2018, which bolstered its capabilities in the offshore medical and safety sector, and SSI Group in 2020, which added risk management and security services to its offerings. This strategic evolution transformed the company from a niche medical provider into a comprehensive risk management firm. Duncan Higham, whose security firm was acquired as part of the SSI Group deal, now serves as CEO, bringing his experience from the Royal Marines to lead the company.
RMI serves a diverse client base across industries such as renewable energy, oil and gas, mining, construction, maritime, and government services. The business model is centered on providing bespoke, consultative solutions tailored to client-specific operational complexities and risks. Revenue is generated by delivering a suite of services that includes on-site medical staffing with professionals ranging from medics to physicians, occupational health coordination, and medical assistance like 24/7 emergency support and evacuations. The company also offers a robust security division providing intelligence-led risk consulting, crisis management, and executive protection. A key differentiator is its integrated approach, offering dual-role safety medics and comprehensive HSE program management. This model allows clients to manage health, safety, and security risks through a single solutions partner.
