In this video, fire and security recruitment specialist Mike Hurst champions ASIS: the world’s biggest membership body representing the security industry.

ASIS, which has chapters in 70 countries, has been influential in shaping standards and certifications worldwide since 1955 and instrumental in the industry’s professionalisation in recent decades.

The ASIS UK chapter – for which Hurst is vice chairman – runs regular seminars and training days for security professionals, publishes a quarterly newsletter with contributions from respected security professionals and champions its members and the security profession in government and public forums.

In his role as ASIS UK vice chairman Hurst is influential in shaping the organisation’s professional development, education and networking programmes.

In 1992 he also founded recruitment firm HJA Fire and Security.
