Acumen has the expertise and experience to help our clients develop and implement effective and workable business continuity strategies, solutions and plans.

Who We Are

Formed in 1997, Acumen Business Services Ltd specialises in the provision of independent business continuity management, crisis management, risk management and information security management consultancy services.

Acumen has provided consultancy support to many well-known organisations, across a wide range of industry types, including manufacturing, pharmaceutical, banking, legal, insurance, financial services, local government, retail, utilities, petrochemical , publishing, education, transport, housing and IT services.

Our managing consultants are Fellows or Members of the Business Continuity Institute, with a wealth of practical experience in all aspects of business continuity management and associated disciplines. We are actively involved in supporting the ongoing business continuity efforts of a number of major organisations.

Our style is to work closely with our clients as part of their team, with the emphasis on working with rather than for them. This partnership approach has proved successful in literally hundreds of assignments, where a close working relationship has been a contributing factor in the successful implementation of the client’s business continuity objectives.

We apply a capability-based approach that is based on best-practice guidelines but, more importantly, on comprehensive subject matter expertise and extensive experience of what actually works in the real world.

Being independent enables us to offer truly impartial advice based on over twenty years of business continuity management involvement backed by invaluable practical experience.
