International Security Officers’ Day

This week has seen the Security industry celebrate International Security Officers’ Day.

A day dedicated to recognising and thanking our remarkable front-line security teams for their unwavering commitment and for keeping us safe, always. A day to reflect that security is a 24/7 occupation, with our accredited officers equipped to protect your people, premises, assets, and the wider public every second, every minute, every hour.

To celebrate, we took time with team members from our valued security team to hear first-hand what they love about their jobs. Thank you to Alona, Aimee, and Milton for your valuable insights.

In addition, members of our All England Lawn Tennis Club team where thrilled to join the City Security Council at their celebratory event at Lloyds of London.

The City Security Council is a collective of premier security companies based in the City of London that works in collaboration with the City of London Police and City of London Corporation to help support them in times of crisis or any significant major event that takes place in the City.

Contract Supervisor, Nicole, and Security Officers Pandora and Tyrese joined forces with the City Security Council, Security Industry Authority (SIA), and British Security Industry Association (BSIA) for a day of appreciation and inspiring content delivered by the Chair of the City Security Council and Heather Bailey, Chair of the Security Industry Authority.

Networking followed with our valued team members participating in filmed interviews with the BSIA to capture memories created over the event.

To our incredible team of Security Officers working tirelessly across the UK at events, venues, transport hubs, offices, and retail stores, THANK YOU. We appreciate everything you do.
