Business Continuity Planning in Chichester
Planning how a Chichester business keeps trading when something significant goes wrong — not just an IT failure, but a flood, a fire, a supplier collapse or losing access to the building. Increasingly asked for by insurers and by clients running supplier assurance before awarding a contract.
Why this comes up
The problem
Continuity planning is treated as an IT document, so it covers servers and says nothing about premises, people, suppliers or how anyone would be told what to do.
What you get
What we deliver
- Business impact analysis identifying which functions genuinely cannot stop, and for how long
- Scenarios covering premises loss, systems failure, key person absence and supplier failure
- Recovery priorities agreed by the business, not assumed by IT
- A communication plan with contact details held somewhere reachable without your systems
- Roles named with deputies, since the person on the plan may be the one unavailable
- An annual test, because an untested plan is a document rather than a capability

Thirty minutes, no charge, no sales script. You leave with a written summary of what business continuity planning would actually involve — whether or not you use us.

Business Continuity Planning in Chichester — common questions
- How is this different from disaster recovery?
- Disaster recovery restores the technology. Continuity keeps the business trading — which might mean working on paper, from another site, or with a reduced service while recovery happens. One is a subset of the other, and plans that only cover the technology leave the larger question unanswered.
- Our insurer is asking for a plan. Is that common?
- Increasingly, yes, along with larger clients running supplier assurance. Both want evidence the plan exists and has been tested, which is why the annual rehearsal matters more than the document's length.
- Where should the plan be kept?
- Somewhere reachable when your systems are not — printed copies and an off-network location. A continuity plan stored only on the file server it is meant to protect is a recurring and avoidable mistake.
- How long does it take to produce?
- A few weeks for a straightforward business, longer where several sites or regulated functions are involved. Most of the effort is deciding recovery priorities with the business, which is not a decision IT can make alone.
- Do you work with businesses across West Sussex?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Chichester and the surrounding West Sussex area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Chichester businesses do you usually work with?
- Booking and ticketing for arts and marine operators, built to survive a season that carries the whole year. Beyond that we work across Tourism & Heritage, Agriculture, Marine, Arts & Culture and Retail.
- Do you cover the areas around Chichester?
- Yes — we work throughout South East, including Southampton, Portsmouth, Brighton. Chichester is an urban area of roughly 30,000+, and we take on work across the wider West Sussex region rather than the city boundary alone.
