Catastrophic events like fire, explosions, pandemics, cyber threat and other major incidents can have a devastating impact on the operations of organisations. They may result in the loss of systems, injury or loss of life.
Organisations with Business Resilience have the capacity to withstand shocks and navigate disruptive change from a wide variety of risks and adapt to the new circumstances following an incident.

We have assisted a diverse range of clients in the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors, many in the North West, such as AccessPay and NCC Group.

Nick Dacey
Operations Director, Lyreco
“At Lyreco, we have recently completed the development of a Business Continuity Plan with the help of John Eary. His professionalism, efficiency and knowledge ensured the project was completed on plan and with buy-in from the whole management team. I would recommend John to other organisations looking for similar solutions.”
Eddie White MBA
VP - Service Delivery Operations, AccessPay
John supported AccessPay as a consultant during the preparations for our ISO22301 Business Continuity assessment. This included assisting with Risk Assessments, training staff & planning exercises. We were working to a very tight timeline and John helped us to keep on track and to budget. His efforts were rewarded when BSI Certified AccessPay to ISO22301 in July 2015. If you have a similar project I would highly recommend contacting John for sound advice and a professional service.

“Thanks, there was very positive feedback. The exercise was well structured; everyone was fully engaged and it highlighted a number of areas we need to address. Plus it was an enjoyable day, thanks for all your support.”
Jason Ridley
Director of Finance and IT, Leeds Federated Housing Association
John worked with my Head of IT and I on a business continuity exercise at Leeds Federated in September 2017. I was impressed by the care and attention John put into preparation for the exercise which ensured that it went according to plan on the day and maximised our leadership’s team learning opportunity. The report and recommendations from the day were similarly well thought through, practical and will, when fully implemented enhance our resilience and capabilities. Personally I found John very responsive to our needs as a client and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others for this type of work. I expect to continue to work with John on some follow up work from our exercise.
