Dave White, managing director of U.K.-bsed ITRM, remembers the nearly devastating impact 9/11 had on the company. The company was around two years old at the time and had been formed “without funding, with staff and without a single day one customer,” he said.

The firm dealt with a number of financial institutions and as a result saw a dramatic drop in revenue. “The vast majority of projects that were live were put on hold and those opportunities at presales stage were scrapped.”

“It took several years for our business to recover to the position it was in prior to September 11th 2001, but our hardship was truly insignificant in comparison to the many thousands of people whose lives were changed forever.”
