BACKGROUND: Dacon Plc is a UK based company that provides a unique service to clients by distributing a range of contact centre and communications solutions. It reviews its experience in the last couple of years and the effect of those experiences on its current structure.

On Sunday the 11th December 2005, a build-up of fumes at the Buncefield Oil Depot in Hemel Hempstead, north of London England ignited, creating what was later described by Hertfordshire's Chief Fire Officer, Roy Wilsher as, "the largest incident of its kind in peace time Europe". Although no deaths resulted from the immediate aftermath, 43 people were injured (2 seriously) and homes and offices throughout the Hemel Hempstead area were made instantly uninhabitable. The offices at Dacon were severely damaged.

RESTORATION: Dacon Plc worked tirelessly through a difficult restoration process, utilising the financial and project management skills of e-Financial Management Limited (e-FM), an outsourcing company that provides scaleable and flexible financial management solutions to leverage its specific business skills;

Dacon succeeded in rebuilding its ability to process and report financial data as well as manage its business environment and despite the conditions, maintained important customer relations and managed to grow the business in 2006. They successfully migrated to an improved company infrastructure and implemented new financial control systems. The company was able to achieve this with the guidance and support of e-FM who also served in new roles following the incident, resolving issues in credit control and the insurance claim.

Dacon Plc now operates from its restored building which it relocated to at the beginning of 2007. 'The e-FM staff was an amazing asset to us, the company made a significant difference to our business with their level of expertise, flexibility and rapid response' says Julie Richings, Finance and Operations Director.
