Crisis, Special Situations & Leadership Communications

We help organisations and their management teams prepare for, manage and recover from reputational issues and help minimise a full-blown crisis.

A reputational issue can quickly escalate to become a crisis which can make or break an organisation and its leadership.

Mitigating the risk of suffering one, improving crisis resilience, and handling issues quickly and effectively as they arise can protect individual and corporate reputation; the valuation; and ensure business continuity.

SEC Newgate’s global team and award-winning team of experts have managed some of the most high-profile issues from cyber attacks and data breaches to terrorist attacks, environmental disasters to hostile takeovers, property issues (i.e. fires and floods) to death-in-service, trade union disputes to child labour allegations.

In short, we have experience in handling your worst nightmare.
