Context

The Issue
: One-fourth of all properties and one-third of commercial properties in the UK are at risk of flooding. Flood-related damages cost the UK a staggering £1.3 billion annually and are expected to increase five-fold by 2050. According to latest estimates these costs can be reduced by half with improved flood forecasting and preparation. However, existing forecasting methods have fallen short when it comes to the unpredictable nature of storms. Hourly shifts in weather patterns can give rise to floods that escape detection through conventional means.

The Solution
: At Previsico, our goal is to diminish the impact of floods on individuals and organizations by half. Our cutting-edge tech, honed since 2001 and incubated at Loughborough University, until 2019, has revolutionized flood forecasting. It allows for highly accurate, property level, real-time alerting, empowering individuals and businesses to prepare effectively, thereby minimizing, and in some cases, preventing damage and disruptions.

The Results
: We almost doubled our revenues in 2024, and our services are now supporting over 200 clients within the insurance, private, and utilities sectors, including Zurich, Liberty, and National Grid. In 2024, we secured additional funding earmarked to turbocharge our growth through the expansion of our Go-To-Market function.

We strongly encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds to apply. We value and embrace the unique perspectives and experiences that individuals from all walks of life bring to our company and its culture.
