As we commence the New Year, now is an ideal time to reflect on what we have achieved over the last twelve months. As an Industry we have been dragged kicking and screaming into an era of long-awaited regulation, a transition that we as a company have made with pleasing fluidity. The advent of licensing has brought us many opportunities to develop further, and this has been demonstrated by the continued growth of our offices both here and in Ireland, with our sister company NorthSec Security Services (NI) Ltd. continuing to flourish, and the opening of new offices in Walsall and Glasgow.

Our sister company, BritSec International Limited, Achieved Approved Contractor status (ACS) in March 2006, which was just reward for two years of training and planning, which has developed our officers into recipients of nationally recognised awards for outstanding service.
During the aftermath of the 7/7 bombings in Central London, Aiden Harris and Marion Dooley were on duty at Capital House, a building directly above Edgware Rd tube station. In the hours following the blast, the pair administered first aid to over 30 people whilst assisting the emergency services in the setting up of the joint emergency services command centre. Their poise and judgement amidst the chaos of that day is a true credit to themselves and the company, and they were rightly honoured with an award at the BSIA awards in London this July (full details are available in issue 31 of “Security and Team” magazine).
Whilst the circumstances surrounding that day are unique, we have had many incidents of outstanding service to our customers, and we will be nominating a number of officers for their contribution in next year’s awards ceremony.
