UK OSPAs finalists

by Mark Rowe

The UK OSPAs finalists ahead of the 2019 awards were named during a networking reception, upstairs at London Olympia on the first evening of the International Security Expo on Wednesday, November 28.

Now in their third year, the UK OSPAs serve to acknowledge the contributions by companies, initiatives, teams and individuals to the security industry and wider community. Visit https://uk.theospas.com/.

Prof Martin Gill, the founder of the OSPAs, said: “The standard of entries this year has again been really high making the judging process as difficult as ever. Those that have been selected were marked independently by the judging panel and all reached a score threshold – ensuring they represent the very best in the industry.”

Finalists will now go forward to the next phase of the competition and winners will be announced at the OSPAs awards dinner on Thursday, February 28, 2019 at the Royal Lancaster London in W21. A ‘lifetime achievement’ award sponsored by The Security Institute will be announced at the ceremony.

The 2019 UK OSPAs have been sponsored by Innovise, the workforce management software firm for the security sector. Martin Gill, pictured, added: “we are delighted to be working with Innovise as our headline sponsor, the staff have shown great interest and support for the OSPAs and what they stand for.”
