About Us.

  • Scottish Continuity was formed in 1995 to enable the free-flow of information on best practice in Business Continuity Management in Scotland.

    At its inception membership was limited to professionals actively involved in Business Continuity in the Financial Services industry. Over a short period of time membership increased, as did the scope of public and private sector operations represented.

    Scottish Continuity today provides a not for profit membership organisation that promotes the empowering of a more Resilient Scotland across our membership: Learning, Connecting, Building Resilience together!

    Meet the Scottish Continuity team below!

  • The organization is dedicated to the following objectives:

    • Encouraging and supporting 'best practice' through networking events, conferences and training events.

    • Encouraging the development and provision of Business Continuity and Resilience related education, training and development activities within Scottish Continuity and with the Training Provider community.

    • Encouraging and supporting conferences, meetings, seminars and social events arranged for the benefit of the membership.

  • Scottish Continuity offers:

    • Appropriate membership levels to attract a comprehensive and representative membership throughout Scotland; including student, individual and corporate membership.

    • Facilitate the exchange of information and best practices within all sectors of services, industry and commerce in the public and private sector for the benefit and in the interests of the individual members, their employers and clients.
