How We Help
PHAROS RESPONSE is made up of a team of risk, reputation and crisis management experts providing a flexible three-tier solution to Prevent, Prepare for and Respond to crises and critical incidents. Naturally, it is far better to prevent critical incidents from happening in the first place but of course not all incidents can be mitigated against. Accidents happen. Natural disasters. Human error. And sometimes we’re just unlucky.
This is why it is important to plan, prepare and practise for when crisis strikes so that you are better placed to respond swiftly and effectively. We can assist at every stage in addition to making our team of crisis management experts available 24/7 to help with your major incident response.
