Vision Security Group (VSG), part of Compass Group UK & Ireland, picked up eight awards at the annual British Security Industry Association (BSIA) lunch in mid-July.
The BSIA’s Security Personnel Awards, in their 18th year, mark the dedication, loyalty, teamwork, customer service skills, use of technology and bravery of staff and teams.
