"We would strongly encourage all businesses, big or small, to sign up to this free service. It is no longer enough to just have made continuity plans. Businesses must challenge these, testing for any gaps. We are delighted to be partnered with VES on this innovative approach to such a crucial issue."
Baroness Jo Valentine, Chief Executive of London First
Commerzbank
"CitySafe not only provides an interactive communications environment between the business community and the local Police and relevant Government Agencies but also an independent secure area and communications toolset, available for use by Business Continuity teams across the industry. A very worthwhile addition to the Business Continuity armoury"
Stuart Dunsmore, Head of Business Continuity, Commerzbank
Virgin Atlantic
"CitySafe has enabled Virgin Atlantic to receive timely and relevant information alerts enabling us to make informed security judgements about additional security and protective measures we may need to implement, to ensure the continued safety of our passengers, staff and assets. Achieving information superiority is a key part of Virgin Atlantic's security regime, and CitySafe help us to achieve this."

London First - Project Manager
"The exercise was a terrific success. More than 300 businesses signed up and the feedback was fantastic. The Virtual Exercise System allowed businesses to test their plans online, at a time and place convenient for them. It offered a dynamic platform for debate between private and public sector and also allowed us to share good practice and signpost to current guidance. It is a very effective tool that has huge support from London First and our members."
Denica Lundberg, Project Manager, London First
