The ATS Head office premises in Belbroughton, Worcestershire were completely devastated by a wall of water that crashed through the building, destroying everything in its path on Saturday 6th September. Rain had deluged the area for several days.
Yet, thanks to the speedy action and round the clock hard work of the ATS team, the entire operation was relocated to alternative premises and systems were up and running within 72 hours.
Steve Boon, Managing Director said
“As soon as we knew what was happening at the office, the priority was to salvage as much equipment, furniture and operational gear as we could, however little could be saved.
“Our emergency plan was activated so everyone knew what our operational priorities were - ensuring that down time was kept to the absolute minimum and that client projects were un-disrupted.
I'm very pleased and proud of the way we've handled this crisis and it serves to demonstrate that the hard work ethic and team management skills of all staff are a key driver in the success of our business. Our clients can safely say that they “didn't feel a thing” in terms of this disaster!”
Steve had been in the offices just a couple of hours before the tidal wave hit. He said,
“It was unbelievable to see the amount of destruction caused in just a few moments and although we've lost at lot of valuable equipment and property we're just glad that there was no loss of life which had it happened during the working week was a very real threat.
Thanks to our thorough recovery plans and routine back-up procedures, we were able to get systems up and running and back to business as usual - despite the destruction around us!”
