As household name companies continue to fall foul of business disruptions and data loss, one top local firm is helping South Coast businesses fight back with expert training and advice normally reserved for the government’s most vital departments.

Beginning with a free , invitation only, breakfast seminar at Bournemouth’s Orchid Hotel on Wednesday 4th August, Portsmouth based Veterus Consulting is teaching local companies how to identify and control risks then develop practiced crisis management and business continuity plans to safeguard critical services and supplies. 

Veterus Managing Director, Bradley Wright comments:

“People depend upon local businesses for work, water, food, fuel and medicine so we all need to work together to improve the resilience of our communities to damage, disruption and loss.  We’ve been fortunate so far to escape a major incident like the Cockermouth floods or the Buncefield explosion but a similar disaster could happen anytime.  With the public sector at full stretch and facing cuts, it makes sense for local business owners to develop practiced plans and procedures that protect their revenues and staff and to help them to survive a crisis event by maintaining delivery of critical products and services to their customers.”

With an impressive and growing client list that includes the Olympic Development Authority and Foreign and Commonwealth Office Services, Veterus Consulting has been providing expert business continuity and resilience consultancy services to large public and private organizations across the UK since 2007; helping them manage the recent swine-flu pandemic and severe weather events as well as developing their resilience to more specialist threats such as cyber attacks and terrorism.  Effective risk management allows companies to reduce uncertainty and loss whilst implementing vital change programmes and continuing to innovate and grow in a difficult market.

The breakfast briefing which kicks off at 8.30am and runs through to 11am, will provide delegates with free advice on how to defend their people, revenues and reputation against unforeseen events using Veterus’ fast and simple 5 step MEDIC process.

Bradley Wright, Managing Director at Veterus comments,

"The Emergency Services provide an excellent service during a crisis; saving life and protecting the environment from harm; but the long term impact of a disaster is felt and managed by the community and local employers.  With a bit of foresight and planning we can all minimize the social and economic damage to our neighbourhoods and bounce back quickly from any set-backs, stronger and wiser than before".

The event will also include complimentary refreshments, networking opportunities, talks on the evolution of resilience, a Q+A session and practical illustrations of the MEDIC process.

Veterus are passionate about developing increasingly sustainable, agile and resilient businesses in Dorset that can continue to profit and survive through turbulent times.
