Andrews International, The Harrell Group Partner To Provide Risk/Crisis Management Services
Andrews International Inc., the largest private American-owned full service provider of security and risk mitigation services, and The Harrell Group, a strategic communications firm with extensive experience in risk, reputation and crisis management, have formed an industry-leading strategic partnership. It is the first alliance of its kind, providing fully integrated risk mitigation, crisis planning, avoidance and response services.
“In crisis and disaster work -- whether involving prevention, planning, training or response -- the two big enemies are time and lack of coordination. Our fully integrated, holistic approach to crisis planning and response provides a solution that benefits the whole enterprise landscape. It is a unique program that has long been needed,” said William Besse, CHS-V, executive director of consulting and investigations for Andrews International. “We’re excited about the partnership with The Harrell Group and the opportunity to provide this innovative, integrated service to our clients.”
The Harrell Group has created and managed public relations programs to support client needs in both the U.S. and abroad for more than a decade. The company’s approach to risk communications, including crisis prevention, planning, and response management, features programs to protect the client’s business reputation during and after crisis. As a member of the Public Relations Global Network, offering services on six continents, The Harrell Group joins Andrews International to provide global reach for clients using these integrated risk and crisis management services.
“Our alliance with Andrews International creates a consultative approach that more thoroughly meets risk mitigation and crisis response needs across a broad range of industries,” said Jackson Harrell, Ph.D., president of The Harrell Group. “Our partnership not only provides a comprehensive service to better protect business operations and reputations during difficult times, but also creates cost efficiencies that bring value to clients’ security, business continuity and communications needs. In short, we can now help organizations meet their risk mitigation and crisis response goals in a more comprehensive way.”
