Alan Clamp, pictured, CEO at the Security Industry Authority (SIA), is to step down from the regulator in the autumn. Alan will take on the role of CEO at the Professional Standards Authority, the health and social care regulator, from November 1.
He said: “‘It has been a great privilege to lead the SIA. I have been supported by a staff team who have consistently performed to a very high standard with dedication and professionalism. I would like to thank them for this. Their commitment, together with the engagement and support of the private security industry, has enabled us to achieve our objectives and rise to the challenges and opportunities we have faced over the last three years.
“I am very proud of what the SIA has achieved and am confident that the great team of staff we have in place will continue to deliver our core objectives of raising standards and protecting the public as well as delivering high quality regulation.”
He joined the SIA in June 2015. In his three years as chief the SIA has gone to an online licensing system; and reviewed the SIA Approved Contractor Scheme. As featured in the July print issue of Professional Security magazine, the Home Office’s eventual publication of the triennial review into the SIA proposed further work for the regulator, of licensing of businesses rather than badging of individuals; except that the snarling up of the Houses of Parliament by Brexit, quite apart from the Conservative Government’s preference for less regulation, looks like making it a non-starter.
Elizabeth France, SIA Chair said: “It has been a pleasure working with Alan as CEO of the SIA. On behalf of the Authority, the senior executive team and staff, I thank Alan for his commitment to the work of the SIA.”
