Weston disaster consultancy named greatest in UK at award present

A Weston company trained in emergency response and crisis management received two awards for its work.

Otho, who is based at The Hive on Beaufighter Road, was brought to the attention of his victories alongside another nomination earlier this month.

The consulting firm provides services both in the UK and around the world, despite its overseas work being suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, director Tony Thompson announced.

He said: “‘We are very excited about these awards.

“The pandemic ended all of our overseas work in 2020, so we adjusted to online work, which is ideal for much of our education.”

Otho received the Southwest Corporate Emergency Consultancy of the Year award, presented by Corporate LiveWire, and was named the best security and crisis management consultancy in the country.

Mr. Thompson remains optimistic about the new year after being shortlisted for excellence in the Somerset Business Awards in March.

He said, “We remain optimistic that we can meet new customers around the world later in 2021.

“These awards will certainly help us to make our brand known in other countries.”
