Volcanic ash: continued threat to global supply chains
| Share

Webcast: Monday, 17 May at 10.30am BST

The continuing and widespread disruption arising from the ‘fall-out’ of the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud has highlighted the fragility of the global business community’s supply chain networks. The consequences of an interruption in the supply chain can be severe, including not only loss of revenue and decreased profitability, but also a reduction in share price and, in extreme cases, permanent damage to reputation and brand.

Marsh, the world’s leading insurance broker and risk adviser, will host a webcast outlining how organisations can manage their supply chains more effectively through rigorous risk assessments and innovative insurance solutions which cover the new breed of ‘non-damage' business interruption risks.

Those interested in participating in the webcast, should email carole.porter@marsh.com. Confirmation and dial-in details will be sent directly in advance of the call.

Journalists wishing to join the webinar should contact either Jason Groves or Eileen Mercer.
