BSIA: Regional winners are recognised for their excellent work in the security industry

Thursday, 28 January 2010 12:00 AM

The regional winners of the British Security Industry Association's Annual Security Personnel Awards 2010 have been announced.

The awards recognise the excellent work and vital contribution that those working in the security industry are making across the country. The awards are presented in the following categories: Service to the Customer, Outstanding Act, Best Newcomer, Best Use of Technology and Best Team.

James Kelly, BSIA Chief Executive, comments: "Those working in security make an outstanding contribution to British business and prove just how essential a role the industry plays in the UK. This year's regional winners have been selected from an extremely high standard of entrants. Our winners were awarded for the brave acts and high quality of customer service that they have demonstrated, which illustrate the professional standards that we expect from security operatives."

The BSIA's Security Personnel Awards are presented regionally throughout the UK, with the winners going forward to the national judging phase. The national winners will be presented with their awards at the Association's annual luncheon on 14th July 2010 at the London Hilton on Park Lane.

The BSIA would like to thank Camberford Law plc - specialist insurance brokers to the security industry - for sponsoring the awards for the twelfth successive year.
