Emergency planning
Emergency Planning Manager David Wolstenholme said preparing for
an emergency situation is not always straightforward, so
getting the right advice is invaluable:
"Getting the information you need and building a plan can be a
challenge without guidelines to follow, but it really is essential
to protect the well being of any organisation ... we can provide
simple guidelines and clear templates, looking carefully at your
business and its needs. If you need it we can also identify
other suitable tools and suppliers."
Financial benefits
With most insurance policies not covering for loss of customers,
there is a clear financial benefit from having a business
continuity plan.
"Most insurance companies will look kindly on
you if you have a business continuity plan, and would encourage you
to get one. A fire or flood could happen at any time, and
mean that your business could have serious losses and lose
customers before the insurance pays out."
David is available to speak at group meetings
