Essex-based reseller Dataphone kicked its own disaster recovery plan into gear when its new offices in Hainault were flooded out during a storm early on referendum day.
"We all went out on a company outing on the day before the EU vote and came in on the big day to a flooded office, which had of course affected all the floor wiring and all the computers were down," explained MD Chris Wilce.
"Our engineers kicked in our DR plan straight away and we were up and running by the start of the working day.
"SIP is great because you can redirect it so quickly.
"Ironically we were celebrating moving into the new office after 25 years at our old premises in Riverside House next to the River Roding and we never got flooded there!"
