The river Don burst its banks covering the Mexborough site with around two feet of water, affecting its IT systems and rendering its premises unusable. Fortunately, Morphy Richards had a Business Continuity (BC) plan in place, and called upon its BC partner Synstar International. Synstar technicians, working with Morphy Richards IT staff were able to transfer all of Morphy Richards's information from its own computers to the backup AS400, enabling business to continue.
