The National Security Inspectorate (NSI) has appointed Richard Jenkins, pictured, as its new permanent Chief Executive. He’s been in the interim role since March 2014, replacing Jeff Little.
The board of the inspectorate was unanimous in ratifying this key position when they met in December. Chris Hanks, NSI’s Chairman said: “I am delighted that Richard has accepted the role of Chief Executive on a permanent basis. He has brought fresh thinking to NSI and a steady hand to the helm. The NSI brand is revered throughout the industry and beyond, and now finds itself well placed to tackle the challenges of the future.”
Jenkins said: “NSI is a tremendous force for good in helping raise standards in the security and fire sectors, and is committed to continuing its work. In particular, the quality of the team at NSI is second to none in the industry and it is an honour to be asked to lead them in their next phase of development.
“End users who contract a service provider certificated by NSI for managing the security of life and property, can have the highest level of assurance that they are in safe hands. The quality, experience and progressiveness of our national network of auditors and head office support team delivers NSI’s unique brand of service underpinned by a determination for continual improvement– an ethos championed by the NSI-Gold approval.”
As a specialist Certification Body in the Fire, Electronic Security and Guarding Services sectors, NSI employs over 30 full-time multi-disciplined auditors, covering the UK and Republic of Ireland.
