Richard Jenkins says: “The UK OSPAs provide a vital role in showcasing and celebrating the outstanding achievements of those companies and individuals within the UK electronic security and guarding services sectors. Such events are valuable opportunities to recognise and reward success. NSI with its focus on raising standards across the UK security industry was proud to play its part by sponsoring one of the categories and it was pleasing to see so many NSI approved companies becoming finalists and winning their specialist award category.”
