The National Security Inspectorate (NSI) is holding its annual IFSEC International drinks reception on day one of IFSEC, Tuesday, June 19, at 4pm on stand F538.
This year the reception is to celebrate NSIโs 20th anniversary of independence from the Loss Prevention Council when it took responsibility for its own direction, as an inspectorate in the security sector, free of financial interest from shareholders, as a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee.
NSI chief exec Richard Jenkins said: โWe are delighted to be once again supporting IFSEC and FIREX as the most successful shows in our sector. Our drinks reception celebrates the significant 20-year milestone of NSI independence, demonstrating the confidence and high regard stakeholders and approved companies alike place in the integrity of NSIโs independent certification in the security and fire protection sectors, and the underlying message to customers that the industry is serious about quality and service.
โWe look forward to welcoming our stakeholders, approved companies and invited guests to raise a glass to the next 20 years of NSI independence.โ
At this yearโs IFSEC at Excel London from June 19 to 21, NSI speakers will be covering best practice in CCTV systems, pitfalls to avoid with powered gates, continuing automation of alarm signalling, and fire risk assessment. A โShow Me Howโ session on โUser Focused Design: Update on NSIโs NCP 104 Code of Practice for CCTV Systemsโ will run on the NSI stand at 11.30am on the Tuesday, and Wednesday, June 20.
