00 … what a night!

IFSEC Insider

It was truly a night to remember … not only for the winners of the Security Excellence Awards 2002 but for the 500 guests at this years’ glittering event.
This industry’s best were honoured in the prestigious setting of the Ballroom at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London and guests were ‘shaken and stirred’ by the James Bond theme of the evening.
And in a new link with the Prince’s Trust, HRH The Prince of Wales wrote a forward to our evening’s programme and the night’s prize casino was in aid of the charity.
This year’s event, organised by Security Installer and its sister magazine, SMT, broke all records … sixty per cent more entries, more categories and a record attendance.
The high calibre of the judging panel and the entertainment element of the evening have helped establish the awards as the ‘Oscars’ of the industry. This year’s fourth annual awards evening was so successful that next year we will have to move to an even bigger venue.
The Security Excellence Awards 2002, the only annual awards scheme to cover the whole of the security industry, honoured companies and individuals in thirteen award categories who have achieved ‘excellence’.
Although the black tie event had a serious purpose, guests – as usual – had a real fun time. A James Bond (Sean Connery) lookalike introduced proceedings along with Jaws and Oddjob and a touch of glamour was added by the Bond Girls dance troupe. After the awards, guests danced to the Revellers and played in the charity casino.
