CEDARthree: Crisis Management Specialists - Cedar Three

Welcome

CEDARthree Limited specialises in crisis management consultancy.

The company believes in a straightforward and practical approach to crisis management. This is born out of extensive experience of conducting crisis management across many different sectors for over twenty years.

CEDARthree Limited works closely with clients to develop bespoke crisis management plans and processes based on key principles. The 'three' in CEDARthree Limited stands for 'readiness, response and recovery'. This sums up the requirement - an organisation which is well prepared for a crisis is much more likely to have an effective response which in turn will speed its recovery.

CEDARthree is currently assisting the British Standards Institute (BSI) in developing PAS 200 a pre-runner to a possible crisis management standard.

CEDARthree has trained, exercised and developed crisis management plans for many organisations both in UK, Europe and further afield. CEDARthree has recently assisted the European Academy in Berlin to present a seminar on European Critical Infrastructure Protection which was attended by 11 European countries.

Early this year CEDARthree was invited by the Philippines National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) to lead a mission of disaster management specialists to assess the country's resilience to disaster. The Philippines, with a population of over 90 million, is a cauldron of disaster suffering too often from the impacts of typhoons, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, mud slides and droughts. The principles of crisis management can also be applied to disaster management and nowhere is this more important than at every level within the Philippines from government, to regions, provinces, cities, local communities and business.

Simon Langdon is the Director of CEDARthree Limited. He was awarded the CRI Business Continuity Consultant of the Year in 2005.
