MANY Greater Manchester businesses were hit by the recent BT fire in Manchester, losing all communication links and trade for five days.

With this in mind, BuryBusiness.NETwork will hold a seminar at the Bolholt Country Park Hotel next Tuesday (May 25) to highlight the issue of "disaster recovery".

Disaster recovery specialists The Enterprise Support Group will demonstrate how forward planning, using software tools, can assist in exploring probable incidents and how technology can reduce the risks of such a damaging event occurring.

Their representatives will offer guidance and advice to delegates on how to develop their own contingency and continuity plans for their business.

Event organiser Brian Berry commented: "This is a unique opportunity for Bury businesses to learn how to protect themselves against incidents which could potentially put them out of business."

To reserve a place at the 5.30pm meeting, ring Joan Boardman on 253 5394.
