James Kelly, BSIA Chief Executive, comments: "Those working in security make an outstanding contribution to British business and prove just how essential a role the industry plays in the UK. This year's regional winners have been selected from an extremely high standard of entrants. Our winners were awarded for the brave acts and high quality of customer service that they have demonstrated, which illustrate the professional standards that we expect from security operatives."
The BSIA's Security Personnel Awards are presented regionally throughout the UK, with the winners going forward to the national judging phase. The national winners will be presented with their awards at the Association's annual luncheon on 14th July 2010 at the London Hilton on Park Lane.
