The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has renamed its Annual Luncheon and Awards as the British Security Awards.
They’re on Wednesday, July 11, at the Marriot Hotel, Grosvenor Square, and as in past years will celebrate the achievements made by security officers and teams across UK private security, as well as acknowledging the contributions made by long-serving industry stalwarts. Categories are: Security Personnel, Security Business, Apprentice Installer, Chairmanโs Award and the SaferCash sponsored Bravery Award.
Following on from the 50th anniversary of the BSIA in 2017, the rebranded awards will feature guest speaker Reverend Richard Coles.
