Julie Kenny CBE DL was this week further recognised for her services to the security industry at the BSIA (British Security Industry Association) annual luncheon alongside the association AGM, at the London Hilton on Park Lane. Julie, former chair of the trade association, picked up the final award of the event from the current chair, Geoff Zeidler and the CEO, James Kelly.
It was in recognition of โa career-long commitment to the ongoing development of the security sector…โ โ[Julieโs] commitment to the BSIA โ and the security sector at large โ has truly changed the landscape of our industry.โ
Julie, the chair and chief executive of the Yorkshire-based manufacturer Pyronix, said: โReceiving this award today came as a complete surprise and was totally unexpected! I am delighted to be recognised in this way from the Association that I hold in such high regard, and with whom I have worked so closely with for the past 20 years. The Association represents the very best from the security industry and I would like to thank Geoff Zeidler and all at the BSIA for this award. It truly is an honour to be recognised in this way by your peers.โ
Among her civic work has been the honorary position of High Sheriff of South Yorkshire for 2012-13, pictured. Julie was awarded a CBE in 2002 in the New Years Honours list.
