The scheme is run under the auspices of the Trafford Park Security Initiative banner, the partners involved including Greater Manchester Police, Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council, Trafford Park Business Watch and Noble Security Services (UK) (see ‘On Guard’, Security Management Today, December 2001, pp20-24 for further details).
Guardsafe has already gained support from SMT, SITO, IPSA and Infologue.com, with Noble Security Services deservedly scooping this year’s British Security Industry Association Chairman’s Award for its Contribution to Training.
