“We’re incredibly proud of our Sussex roots and the global impact we have had on the security industry over the last 30 years.”
Judging panel chair Mike Herd said: “Each year the standard of entries gets better and better and this year was no exception. This year’s finalists are a stimulating mix of established businesses and new entrepreneurial ventures with a common thread running through them all – resilience and determination to succeed. Congratulations to all the winners.”
