The fire and security sectors are being urged by the Fire and Security Association (FSA) to nominate those who have made an outstanding contribution to the sector, for this year’s FSA Awards. The two awards, which will be presented for the first time at this year’s IFSEC ‘Security and Fire Excellence Awards’, are as follows:
– The Peter Greenwood Security Award – recognises individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the security systems industry. Last year’s winner was Simon Banks of CSL Dualcom.
– The Ian Marsh Fire Award – recognises individuals who demonstrate enthusiasm and selfless concern for the fire and emergency systems industry. Last year’s winner was Geoff Teader of Amalgamated Ltd.
Head of the FSA Steve Martin said: “The FSA is delighted to announce that nominations are open for our sector-leading awards, and we urge anyone involved in the fire and security industry to put forward deserving candidates. Over the years we have had many very deserving winners of both the Peter Greenwood Security Award and the Ian Marsh Fire Award, and we look forward to another duo of industry champions gaining recognition this year.”
The nominations will be reviewed by a panel of six judges, which will include FSA representatives as well as figures from across the industry. The ‘Security and Fire Excellence Awards’ will be given on Wednesday, November 23, in London. The winners of both FSA awards (plus one guest each) will be given free places on the FSA’s table on the evening. The event is being hosted this year by the TV comedian Jimmy Carr.
The deadline for FSA Award nominations is Wednesday, September 21, at midday. For more details, or to nominate an individual for either award visit http://www.eca.co.uk/fsa-awards/.
