NSI launches Women in Security Awards

The National Security Inspectorate (NSI), with its stand in IFSEC’s new feature destination, Installer World, welcomed a record number of service providers and launched this year’s Women in Security Awards with a drinks reception.

During the expo NSI experts shared their knowledge by taking part in seminars.

Tony Weeks, head of technical services took part in a panel discussion on current trends and the future of the security industry. Clare Crump, auditor, presented with Tony Porter, surveillance camera commissioner, on the Surveillance Camera Code of Practice and good operational practice. Chris Hayes, operations manager, provided guidance on how to choose a competent fire risk assessor.

NSI is the official host of this year’s Women in Security Awards ceremony taking place on the evening of 14 September on the Harmony cruise boat of Bateaux London.

Una Riley, the Awards founder, discussed how they continue to play an important role within the security industry.

Roy Cooper, publisher of Professional Security magazine and organiser of the Awards, encouraged industry representatives to nominate colleagues who have gone above and beyond their role to make a significant contribution to the industry.

The Engineers of Tomorrow competition is another key feature of IFSEC. NSI has been a stakeholder since it began nearly 20 years ago. The competition demonstrated the skills and talent of apprentices and young engineers.

NSI auditors Gary Hurst and Bill Baillie provided adjudicator support to oversee the competitors. NSI chief executive Richard Jenkins presented the heat winners’ prizes at the end of the first day to Corrie Stewart and Martin Hannaway, both studying at New College Lanarkshire.

Three NSI Gold approved company presentations took place on the stand with all three companies receiving recognition for their transition to the latest 2015 edition of ISO 9001. The companies are Eclipse (IP) Ltd in Dumfermline, Stanley Security Solutions in Swindon and Pyrotec Services in Abingdon.
