Would your business survive an attack?
Tuesday 15 Nov 9.30-12.30, Town Hall, Reigate
Make sure your business is prepared - come along to Project ARGUS, an initiative developed by the National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO) and delivered by Counter Terrorism Security Advisers (CTSAs) throughout the UK.
This 2.5 hour multimedia terrorist simulation poses questions and dilemmas for participants working in syndicates and aims to raise awareness of the threat from terrorism, providing practical advice on preventing, handling and recovering from an attack.
Project ARGUS is ideal for managers in areas such as facilities, security, reception and those responsible for creating and maintaining response plans. However we welcome all staff, as in the event of a major incident, anyone within the organisation could be in a position where they need to exercise those response plans. Book your space now

Come and hear John Berry from Timeless time talk about building your brand.
The Galaxy Note 7 is dead. The Samsung brand is mortally injured. How did it happen, and how can Samsung save its reputation? Brand is complex. It’s not just about the company logo, website and social media messages, It’s the way the company looks and feels to customers. Come and learn how to build your brand and protect it too. Brand is like an orange: there’s the skin – the outside. That’s the bit that entices us to the firm or organisation. Then there’s the flesh, the inside. That’s the bit of the firm or organisation we experience after we’ve bought. That’s the bit that can be authentic and in line with what first enticed us. Or it can be a big let-down when the outer promises an emotion that is not there when we take a bite. Changing the outside, the marketing artefacts, is simple. But brand depends on the competencies, behaviours, values and attitudes of managers and staff. Come along and learn at the Reigate & Banstead Borough Council Learning Lunch and hear John Berry’s presentation. He’ll teach how to build brand starting from inside the firm or organisation. He’ll teach how firms (including Samsung) should act to secure their brands, protect their brands and react to calamities when brands are damaged.
