Strong partner for leading Dutch companies

When a Dutch clinic discovered last year that more than 300 cancer patients had received lower than necessary doses of radiation over the last decade—potentially increasing the risk of their cancer recurring—Bex*communicatie was on hand to advise a proactive communications strategy that combined expressions of apology and regret from the clinic’s management team combined with an authoritative independent third-party assessment of the situation—an approach that maintained patient numbers, avoided lawsuits, and exemplified the makes Bex such a strong partner for so many leading Dutch companies. 

Now in its 30th year, Noud Bex’s firm has enough experience in the crisis arena—the firm estimates it handles 75 crises a year—to handle the most delicate issues with confidence and candor while its own crisis handbook ensures a structured approach. Beyond the crisis realm, the firm has expertise in change management (led by chairman Monique Hendriks), corporate reputation management, executive training, and corporate storytelling. The firm works for a host of leading companies in the Dutch market, including Royal DSM, AbbVie, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ACE Europe, ASML, Unilever, Exxon Mobil, Glassdoor, Philips International, and Allen & Overy, generating fee income last year of €3.1 million.
