A North East-based man is speaking at an international conference. Andy Davis, pictured, managing director of Trident Manor, the Newton Aycliffe-based security and risk management consultancy, is among speakers at the ASIS International 7th Middle East Security and Education Conference. His subject: international supply chain security risks. Among the conference’s key note speakers is Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, who is Deputy Chairman of Police and General Security in Dubai.
The Dubai three-day conference will explore the issues facing security people; and acts as the venue for the Chief Security Officer (CSO) Round Table – a group of global security executives.
Mr Davis, who has more than 25 years’ global experience, which includes providing security advice for government and corporates, will also be discussing security risks posed by terrorism, namely the instability in the Middle East – in his role as a member of the CSO Round Table.
He said: “The conference will provide the perfect platform for fellow security professionals to discuss and evaluate developments in the industry, and I am delighted to be involved. Security and crisis threats are prevalent in all industries and professions, so it is important for organisations, including SMEs and large corporations, to fully understand the potential risks that exist and how to manage them.”
Set up in 2013, Trident Manor recently announced a partnership with OnCourse, an African-based training provider for defensive driving, to create a course in managing driving and security risks, in difficult and hostile places.
Mr Davis added: “It is exciting times for Trident Manor as we look to build on 2015’s positivity and forge new ties in the UK and internationally. The deal with OnCourse was a particular highlight from last year, and hopefully I can secure further partnerships in the future.” Visit http://www.tridentmanor.com.
