Now in their fourteenth year, the Security Personnel Awards continue to recognise the vital contribution that those operating in the security industry are making across the country, and are presented in the following categories: Service to the Customer, Outstanding Act, Best Newcomer, Best Use of Technology and Best Team.

Each of the regional winners will receive an award certificate at special British Security Industry Association (BSIA) presentations set to take place in the coming months, and will then be put forward to the national judging phase. The national winners will be announced at the BSIA’s Annual Luncheon. This will be held on 27 June at the London Hilton Hotel, Park Lane.

Trevor Elliott, the director of manpower and membership services at the BSIA, commented: "The high calibre of nominations received this year made it particularly challenging to appoint our winners. For this reason, in 2012 we have a particularly high number of winners, with many regions having more than one per category."

Elliott continued: “It's a source of tremendous pride for the BSIA to be associated with such incredible talent in our industry, and I would like to thank Camberford Law plc – specialist insurance brokers to the security industry – for making these awards possible, having sponsored them since their inception. I look forward to meeting and congratulating the winners in person.”
