Why we created BridgePacks.

For nearly two decades we have developed crisis plans for organisations, and we have seen those plans tested when the worst happens. We have worked through mass-fatality events, aviation accidents, major data breaches and serious reputational crises. That work taught us one thing above all: a clear, well-made plan is what holds an organisation together in the moments that matter most.

We understand how much Martyn's Law matters. We also understand how hard it is to write a plan that means something when you are running a school and crisis planning is not your field. That gap is the reason BridgePacks exists: to give every school a tailored plan built on real crisis experience, without requiring them to become crisis experts to produce it.

This is personal for us as well as professional. Martyn's Law is named after Martyn Hett, who was killed in the Manchester Arena attack in May 2017. Our niece was there that night. Fortunately, she was not hurt, but the father of her friend was seriously injured, and she saw things no teenager should ever have to. Ben was on the Edgware Road train that was bombed in the 7 July 2005 London terror attacks. We know first-hand the effect terror attacks have on everyone impacted.

We believe Martyn's Law will help save lives. That is why we care about getting these plans right, and why we built BridgePacks to help every school prepare properly.
