Kenyon International

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kenyon International Emergency Services, Inc. is a US-based Emergency Services contractor with offices in the UK, Hong Kong and Australia. Effective 1 October 2007 Kenyon became a private company.

After 11 years as a wholly-owned company of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest funeral and cemetery organization in the United States, Kenyon’s President and CEO, Robert (Bob) Jensen, purchased Kenyon.

This purchase now allows Kenyon to realize and capitalize on recent programmed growth in technology, training and strategies to meet the increasing needs of its Members, private companies and governments following mass fatality events. This growth will continue as we expand our consulting services and further add related supporting crisis management services. Other than a change in Kenyon’s organizational structure there is no impact on our Members or services provided.

Bob has served with Kenyon for 9 years and as Kenyon’s president and CEO for the past 4years. He will continue in that capacity. “I look forward to the tremendous opportunity this purchase represents as we continue to improve support to our Members and the ability to develop essential services such as contingency planning, crisis communications as well as intervention, humanitarian operations and forensic consultation.”
