John Sharp, our Policy Director, will represent the Continuity Forum on this committee and we invite any with contributions on issues relating to the development of this new milestone for BCM to mail John directly HERE!.

The audience unanimously welcomed the news and the Continuity Forum will continue to report on the development of this group and the issues as it progresses towards the introduction of a FULL British Standard for Business Continuity.
