Business Continuity Institute
The Business Continuity Institute (BCI) was established in 1994 to enable members to obtain guidance and support from fellow business continuity practitioners. Through its Certification Scheme, the Institute provides internationally recognised status to its members as professional membership of the BCI demonstrates the members’ competence to carry out business continuity management (BCM) to a consistent high standard. The BCI has over 3000 members in 75+ countries. The wider role of the BCI is to promote the highest standards of professional competence and commercial ethics in the provision and maintenance of business continuity planning and services.
British Damage Management Association
Prior to the existence of the BDMA insurers and loss adjusters had no means of judging the competence and expertise of the recovery and restoration contractors they appointed. However, in the event of problems arising after claims have been settled, poor or inappropriate workmanship can leave insurers open to litigation. Recent laws have specified increasingly stringent criteria in relation to duty of care issues surrounding the appointment of contractors. The BDMA is committed to responding to the insurers’ need for contractors to work to recognised standards.
