The winners of the Women in Security Awards were revealed last night during an event hosted by the SSAIB.
Organised by Patron and Professional Security Magazine a black tie drinks reception was followed by dinner and drinks aboard the Dixie Queen on the River Thames. The awards were then revealed as the event continued into the evening.
“We were delighted to once again sponsor the Women in Security Awards, an event we have been closely involved with for a number of years,” said Richard Jenkins, NSI chief executive. “It was great to see so many members of the security industry gather to celebrate and honour the success of the Award winners and finalists who play such a vital role within our sector and communities.
“This year NSI was pleased to support the event with a complement of attendees from our own team of women in security, including auditors from within guarding services and security systems. Our warmest congratulations to all of this year’s winners and finalists – we wish them continued success in their careers.”
