In this edition, we’re celebrating the accomplishments of our industry colleagues, many of whom were recognised for their contributions at the BSIA’s recent Annual Luncheon and awards ceremony. As our flagship event, this annual festivity provides us with the opportunity to reward the achievement of individual security officers, as well as bright young apprentices and those who have dedicated their careers to serving the industry over a number of years. You can read more about our Security Personnel Award winners on page 10, which I hope will inspire you to put forward some of your own staff for 2016’s awards, now open for nominations. Coinciding with our Annual Lunch is the Association’s AGM, which brings members together and allows them to reflect on the achievements of the past twelve months. This year, a key highlight of our Annual Review was the contributions made by our members and staff to driving standards development across the private security industry, both here in the UK and abroad. On page 6, you can find out about the many British, European and International standards that have been influenced by the BSIA in the past year, and also learn more about how your company can benefit from getting involved in this activity. Driving the Association’s involvement in standards development is the BSIA’s dedicated Technical team, which has welcomed a new addition this year. Steve Lampett was appointed as Technical Officer in June 2015 following the promotion of David Wilkinson and Paul Phillips. You can find out more about Steve and his role providing members with technical support and advice on page 26. Working in partnership with other like-minded organisations remains important to the BSIA, and forging links with organisations from the wider policing family is the core objective of the Association’s involvement in the Police and Security (PaS) Initiative. Launched last December, PaS helps to bring together a number of security stakeholders from the London area, including private security providers, the Metropolitan Police, local businesses and crime prevention initiatives. Earlier this year, PaS launched a public consultation to gauge the perceived opportunities and benefits to partnership working, and the results of the consultation have now been published. Find out more on page 2. Events continue to play an important role in helping the Association – and its members – to engage with industry partners, enabling us to share best practice and educate others on the changing security landscape. This autumn, several events are taking place, from an Employment Law seminar in Scotland on 29th September to a CCTV Seminar and Exhibition in London on 12th November (page 12). Our industry’s largest trade show, IFSEC, also continues to enjoy success, and you can read organiser UBM’s review of 2015’s show on page 14. With so much happening in our industry, both at home and abroad, readers can keep in touch with the latest developments between editions by following the BSIA on Twitter, @thebsia.
