Disasters do happen to UK businesses, for a variety of reasons and in a variety of ways. Telecoms or utilities failure, gas leak, flood, fire and terrorist threats are just some of the events that have affected UK businesses over the last couple of years.

Larger corporates have invested heavily in comprehensive business continuity plans to safeguard the future of their operations.

Companies operating from a single site are just as likely to suffer from an unexpected business interruption as a larger neighbour who has a business continuity plan already in place.

Companies without an extensive support infrastructure are likely to be hit harder by the effects of a business interruption than their larger neighbours.

Business Continuity does not have to be complex, costly and time-consuming. You are invited to join ICM’s Disaster Cover Direct programme for an easy low cost busines continuity solution.
