In his 20th year as a member of ASIS UK, Vice Chairman Mike Hurst, has achieved his Certified Protection Professional (CPP) at the first attempt.
Mike, pictured, said: “I felt that having a leadership role in ASIS and with so many colleagues and senior security professionals, globally, having achieved CPP, it was about time I got my act together and sat the examination. It was a very tough and thorough test of my security knowledge, especially as a non-practitioner, but it was well worth the effort.”
