The Send For Help Group, the worker protection product company, has two committee memberships of the British Security Industry Association’s (BSIA) Lone Workers Section; one for each of its subsidiary companies.
Will Murray, Marketing Director, has been re-elected as representative for Guardian24, while Ben Hawkins, Incident Management Centre Manager, has been newly appointed to represent Skyguard.
The BSIA’s constitution dictates that section committee member elections are held annually by secret ballot of section members. A maximum of eight places are available on the committee; seven of which have been occupied in the recent election.
The committee’s role is to set the section strategy and vote on key decisions, on behalf of the wider membership. Committee members can also develop industry standards, as part of British Standards Institute (BSI) review panels. This is the case with the Send for Help Group’s two committee members, who sit on the BSI panel which is redrafting BS 8484, (British Standard for Lone Worker Device Services) – due for publication in 2016.
Send For Help Group’s Chief Executive, James Murray, pictured, says: “I’m delighted that both our subsidiaries are represented on such a prominent committee, which is testament to the high esteem they hold within the industry. The UK is leading the world in the lone worker protection market, and the BSIA’s Section is the leading group within the UK driving this forward. Having such a strong representation within this influential group, is invaluable to the business in maintaining its position at the forefront of the industry.”
