Join us online for our Operational Resilience Lunch and Learn on Tuesday 14th January at 12.30pm-1.30pm.
- Get an introduction to the concept of Operational Resilience (and no, it’s not just for financial service firms!) from David Ferbrache OBE,
- Managing Director of Beyond Blue.
- Hear stories of good practice and pain points from Jon Seaton, Deputy Head of Resilience, during his journey to implement an Ops Res framework in Close Brothers, a leading UK Merchant Banking Group.
- Finally, learn more about the new guidance on Collaborative Scenario Testing of Third Parties from David - a subject close to his heart as Chair of the Collaborative Scenario Testing Working Group, part of the Cross Market Operational Resilience Group (CMORG).
- Operational Resilience principles are not just for those Financial Services organisations who have a mandatory compliance requirement. There are many crossover lessons for all Resilience professionals and this is a great opportunity to learn more. Register today! Non-BCI members are welcome.

Jon Seaton
I have been working in Financial Services 26 years with 20 of those being in BC, CM and more recently Operational Resilience. I started my resilience journey in RBS when I moved from project management to continuity and was asked if I would be interested in writing a pandemic plan for the bank.. that plan was for bird flu! I was lucky enough to work in a couple of divisions, including supporting the crisis management team during the financial services crisis… an interesting and incredibly exciting time to be in our line of work! I moved into the central team where I wrote the first BC Policy for RBS and was there at the inception of Operational Resilience for financial services. I moved to Tesco Bank in 2015 where I led on BC and their first tentative steps into resilience. I also became a co-opted member of the Crisis Management Team during the covid pandemic which included providing direct updates to the regulators. I moved to Close Brothers in May 2023 and am responsible for BC and Operational Resilience.
