Wilkinson Butler’s Chairman, Peter Wilkinson, is a crisis management & recovery expert with two decades experience in this field.
He has managed successful crisis outcomes including countering cyber-security attacks, sexual abuse/harassment, media and social media attacks, industry restructures, product recalls, court cases and judicial inquiries, activist campaigns, pollution spills, extortion and blackmail threats, and fires/explosions.
A lot of these crises are exacerbated by social media; others, as companies’ struggle to cope with the rapid changes brought about by structural, cultural or digital transformation. The ‘recovery’ part of a crisis often involves significant change management – transformation.
