Training

Information destruction date

by Mark Rowe

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) is holding a seminar and charity networking event, which aims to bring together players from across the industry, suppliers and stakeholders.

Date and place are the Hilton Garden Inn, located in Birmingham’s upmarket Brindleyplace, and Thursday, December 4, 2014. Planned are educational and motivational presentations, networking opportunities and a charity auction. The programme includes:

•Presentations from sponsors focusing on technological innovations (Global Recycling & Vecoplan), tax, accounting and outsourcing (Cobia) and insurance (Waste Insure) within the information destruction sector;
•A question and answer session with a panel of four or five representatives from within the sector to facilitate an engaging discussion of some of the key issues facing the industry;
•A presentation from Steve Eckersley, Head of Enforcement at the Information Commissioners Office, on the short to medium-term outlook from that department on what they see as the key issues to be addressed. This session will also be followed by questions;
•A one hour keynote address by Olympic athlete and former javelin world record holder, Steve Backley. Steve translates his training and experience in the world of sport into the business arena in a witty, insightful and motivational way.

After the formal presentations there will be an informal drinks reception, dinner and evening entertainment, then an auction of donated prizes in aid of the charity Together for Short Lives, a leading UK charity for children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions. With costs remarkably low considering what is on offer on the day, we will be asking all companies attending to donate a prize suitable for the raffle or auction.

Adam Chandler, Chairman of the BSIA’s Information Destruction Section, says: “As well as the sheer entertainment value, this is also a fantastic networking opportunity and the only UK event of its kind designed specifically for the information destruction sector. All industry practitioners are welcome, and I would encourage all information destruction companies to come along to share best practice, while celebrating the capability and professionalism within our sector.”
