For us here in the UK another problem with fuel is looming. A strike by road tanker drivers has begun and already panic buying has started at filling stations. Of course, the lack of fuel will have consequential effects: people will not be able to travel to work; food and other important supplies may not reach logistics hubs and retail sites – and of course, industries which require logistic support may be hampered.The potential for industrial disputes such as this to cause serious social disruption should not be underestimated by businesses. Do you have a business continuity plan to deal with this type of problem and are you sure that your suppliers have such a plan?
Business continuity needs thought and anticipation so that your organisation can survive major disruptions. ARC runs business and crisis management training sessions within our security management courses and also as stand alone in-house workshops tailored to your requirements. Already this year we have delivered such training in various locations worldwide and this pattern looks set to continue as global events and emerging threats become more worrying for major companies. For more information on ARC’s ability to assist you in your preparation, look at the website or contact Phil.
