IRM announces Business Continuity and Crisis Management Student Award
The Institute of Risk Management (IRM) has announced that Claire Betteridge has won its 2009 Business Continuity and Crisis Management Student Award. Claire is Senior Risk and Insurance Officer for Blackpool Borough Council.
The award is for the top student worldwide in the Business Continuity and Crisis Management specialist module of the Institute’s International Diploma in Risk Management. The Award was presented to Claire by Ruth Badger from the TV series The Apprentice at the Institute’s annual awards ceremony at Warwick University in September.
IRM Chief Executive Steve Fowler said “All organisations need effective business continuity arrangements in place in this uncertain world – congratulations to Claire for doing so well in this complex subject.”

The specialist modules can also be taken as stand alone courses and lead to Specialist membership of the Institute.
The Institute of Risk Management was founded more than 20 years ago and is the leading professional education and training body, providing courses on risk management at a range of levels from introductory to expert. With over 2,750 members in more than 50 countries, drawn from a variety of risk related disciplines and a wide range of industries, the Institute is governed by practising risk professionals and has strong, global links with academia and other risk and strategy organisations.
