Managing director's message
Its principal, Chris Childs, noted that, “Continue’s aims are to provide a flexible range of Business Continuity services to a broad section of UK businesses, irrespective of size, requirement, location or industry sector. We believe that every business recognises the need to be able to continue after an adverse event, but that they may not have the necessary resources or know-how to ensure this is a reality. Our aim is to provide as little or as much insight and technical expertise as any individual company requires.”
What risks may affect me?
Fire, flood or any other reason that may cause a denial of access to premises, or indeed for those premises to be permanently unusable. In the age that we live in, it is important that we do not try to pre-empt the cause of a disaster scenario, but to concentrate on the elements of a business that are mission-critical, and to protect those.

"When anyone asks me how I can best describe my experience in nearly forty years at sea, I merely say, uneventful. Of course there have been winter gales, and storms and fog and the like. But in all my experience, I have never been in any accident... or any sort worth speaking about. I have seen but one vessel in distress in all my years at sea. I never saw a wreck and never have been wrecked nor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to end in disaster of any sort". E. J. Smith, 1907, Captain, RMS Titanic
