Business Continuity

Whether you are a large ‘corporate’ or an SME the ability to respond swiftly and effectively to a major incident has never been more important. Organisations that have a business continuity capability are far more likely to survive the effects of a major incident than those that don’t. Two major incidents in Manchester alone serve to highlight this and the vulnerability of SME’s. The Manchester city centre bomb in 1996 had a devastating effect whilst the recent BT tunnel fire, again in Manchester, left many businesses without any communications for nearly a week.

Think about the effects on your customers and business if your building caught fire. What might the effects be of another fuel crisis, a major utilities failure such as loss of power or the effects of severe weather conditions including floods? What if your neighbours’ building suffered a major fire that resulted in you having no access to your offices for days, possibly weeks?

All of these events could have an impact on the survival of your business. If you’re unable to satisfy your customers’ needs then how confident are you that they will wait for you to recover? Sympathy and loyalty will last for only so long. Being prepared is the name of the game.Your plan needn’t be complicated and doesn’t have to cover every eventuality or every business process, just those that are most critical.

Why wait for something to happen?
