Nominations open for UK OSPAs

Nominations are now open for the second UK Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs), which will take place in London on March 1.

The UK OSPAs – the first of which took place earlier this year – recognise and reward companies and individuals across the security industry.

The awards are held in eight countries and aim to be both independent and inclusive, by providing an opportunity for chosen nominees and winners, whether buyers or suppliers, to be recognised and their success to be celebrated.

The criteria for the awards are based on extensive research into key factors that contribute to and characterise outstanding performance. Perpetuity Research has contributed to the creation of the criteria.

The OSPAs are organised in collaboration with security associations and groups in the countries they take place in, with standardised award categories and criteria.

Nominations are open until the November 13 2017. Submissions are invited in several categories. These include: ‘Outstanding In-House Security Team’, ‘Outstanding In-House Security Manager’, ‘Outstanding Contract Security Company’, ‘Outstanding Security Consultant’ and ‘Outstanding Customer Service Initiative’.

Entry to the UK OSPAs is free and is open to companies, teams and individuals who have performed at an exceptional level. The nomination process is simple with only two questions to answer.

A panel of leading industry figures will select award winners from finalists and the UK OSPAs will be presented at a prestigious awards dinner to be held at the Royal Lancaster, London on March 1 2018.
