Cooper Gay & Co is offering a free crisis management and business continuity consultation to its terrorism and political risks policy holders globally. The new service is being made available through a joint initiative with Security Exchange, a risk management consultancy specialising in crisis management and business continuity.

Cooper Gay clients will receive access to an online information and advice service, which will enable them to review global security risks, download crisis management guides, and book an appointment with a specialist consultant, free of charge. The service is intended to provide a framework for formulating effective crisis management and business continuity plans; as well as affording them instant access to expert help in the event of an incident.

"Effective crisis management planning is essential if companies are to survive a critical security incident without considerable financial loss or serious business interruption,” Andrew Stuart, divisional director of terrorism and political risk at Cooper Gay says. ”By partnering with Security Exchange, Cooper Gay has taken a unique and proactive approach to crisis management in order to reduce the risks faced by its clients and to minimise the impact of a critical security incident."

"Although most companies will have plans on the shelf, many are outdated and unrehearsed; mainly because of the perceived complexity and cost of the exercise,” adds Rupert Reid, managing director of Security Exchange. ”Security Exchange will help companies to strip down and re-construct these plans, putting simple and straightforward measures in place which are clear and workable.”
