Award winning Business Resilience Consultancy joins
Databarracks
LONDON, May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Databarracks, the
technology and business resilience specialist has acquired
Glasgow based PlanB
Consulting to enhance its Operational Resilience and Cyber
Continuity consulting practice.
Chris Butler, Resilience
Director, Databarracks, commented: "We are thrilled to
have PlanB join us. PlanB has been a powerhouse in Business
Continuity and Resilience for almost two decades. They're widely
known, highly respected and one of the true thought-leaders in our
industry. Led by the highly respected Charlie and Kim Maclean-Bristol, they are a
multi-award -winning Business Continuity Consulting business and
stalwarts of the resilience community."
Kim Maclean-Bristol,
Co-Founder and Director of PlanB, explained: "We're
pleased to find a home with an organisation that gives us a broader
market reach and shares our values and vision for changing the way
we make organisations resilient. Together we bring a wide range of
consulting skills, real-world expertise and can now offer a
complete range of Business Continuity, Crisis Management and Cyber
Resilience services."
Customers of the combined business can now benefit from a full
suite of end-to-end Operational Resilience services. From Data
Protection, Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity and Incident
Response, through to Cyber Incident Exercising from a National
Cyber Security Centre Assured Service Provider.
Mike Osborne, Chairman,
Databarracks: "There is no better independent Business
Continuity Consultancy than PlanB. I've spent 30+ years in the
industry and over the last few years the market has fundamentally
changed.
"The old guard of BC specialists has been absorbed by generalist
IT service providers. Sungard Availability Services sadly went into
administration in the UK. Throughout the pandemic, many of the
smaller consulting providers took in-house roles, leaving 'the big
four' as an expensive alternative.
"The Operational Resilience market has become fractured across
Cyber, Data Protection, IT Recovery and Business Continuity
Planning, now leaving few, if any, genuine specialists dedicated to
end-to-end resilience.
"This acquisition creates a market-leading Data Protection,
Technology Recovery, Business Continuity and Cyber Resilience
business offering in one."
Chris Butler further commented
that: "The world is undoubtedly more volatile and uncertain. Supply
chains have come under extreme pressure and business interruptions
remain highly likely. The cyber arms race shows little sign of
peaking, and by the end of the decade there will likely be few
businesses that haven't been targeted and impacted.
"The organisations that thrive will be those who are prepared
for this changing environment. PlanB strengthens this integrated
approach, cultivating dynamic leadership, adaptive operations,
robust technology and supportive supply chains to enable businesses
to survive and prosper."
