Kenyon began in 1906, when a London and South Western Railway boat train derailed and crashed in Salisbury, England. Brothers Herbert and Harold Kenyon, of JH Kenyon Limited, were deployed from London to assist the Coroner and Chief Constable in preparing and repatriating the deceased.
Since then, Kenyon has grown to become the world’s oldest and most experienced disaster management firm, with over 118 years of direct response to hundreds of crises worldwide. From aviation accidents and maritime incidents to natural disasters and mass fatality events, Kenyon has supported individuals and organisations through the most challenging moments, ensuring comprehensive and compassionate care at every stage.
Kenyon exists to help people when they need it most - helping to restore order with compassion and upholding the dignity of those affected by crises and disasters.
Today, Kenyon provides a comprehensive range of services, including disaster management solutions, family assistance, mass fatality management, crisis communication, operational support during crises, and pre-crisis planning and training, all backed by the extensive resources of Air Partner and its affiliates.
