Operational Resilience: Implementation in Practice and Supply Chain Security
To register for this event please log in to your BCI website profile. If you do not have a website profile, please register here.
Building on the success of last year’s BCI Scotland Chapter “Operational Resilience Lunch and Learn” event, which focused on operational resilience implementation and critical third-parties, we are pleased to invite you to a follow-up session.
If you did not attend the last session, there is still much to gain from attending this upcoming discussion. We will focus on the evolving operational resilience and supply chain landscape. As organisational environments become more complex, understanding third-party and supply chain cyber risks is a key priority for resilience professionals to ensure that regulatory expectations are met. Our speakers, David Ferbrache OBE, Managing Director, Beyond Blue and Jon Seaton, Deputy Head of Resilience, Close Brothers, return to share the latest updates on these two key topics.
Speaker highlights:
David will begin the session by emphasising the significance of supply chain security and illustrating how today’s interconnected supplier ecosystems present risks to organisations. He will discuss the evolving nature of cyber risks associated with third parties and explain what these changes mean for future resilience planning. By presenting real case studies of supply chain disruptions, David will demonstrate how organisations can enhance confidence in the resilience of their suppliers.
Following David’s presentation, Jon Seaton will provide an update to his previous session, where he described his firm’s journey towards compliance with the FCA, PRA, and Bank of England’s Operational Resilience Framework regulation. The session will highlight the progress made and lessons learned along this journey.

Jon Seaton
Deputy Head of Resilience , Close Brothers
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.
