BCI calls for the appointment of a UK government minister for business continuity

The Business Continuity Institute has called upon the UK government to appoint a government minister whose responsibility would be to promote the establishment of a business continuity management culture in the UK.

In a statement published yesterday, the BCI said:

“Encouraging good business continuity management is an area where government could contribute – not only giving direct leadership on the huge risks such as terrorism, but also helping to coordinate and communicate low-cost commonsense best practice. The Business Continuity Institute calls for the appointment of a government minister to promote the establishment of a business continuity management culture in the UK."

In a presentation given at yesterday’s BC Expo in London, Steve Mellish, chairman of the BCI added that the BCI wishes to see better national level information and guidance for business continuity management to help UK businesses better cope with day-to-day business risks.
