Widely regarded as one of the security sector’s premier events in the annual calendar, the IFSEC International Security Industry Awards stand as both a celebration and an acknowledgement of excellence in terms of products and technological innovations influencing and shaping the security world.
With Norbain serving as headline sponsor, the awards themselves are split into ten categories and the judging overseen by the British Security Industry Association’s technical director Alex Carmichael. Other judges this year included Mick Phipps (head of loss prevention at Wilkinson), Mike Smalley of the MoD Security Services Group, Skills for Security’s CEO David Greer, Brian Sims (media solutions manager across UBM Live’s Security and Fire Portfolios) and Jeff Little OBE, the CEO at the National Security Inspectorate.
