Last week we had the honour to recognise the work of some frontline security professionals who make this industry possible and an event hosted by Baroness Harris of Richmond DL at the House of Lords. We are grateful to our sponsors The Assist Services Group and Executive UK Group Limited (ESP, EES, ERE & ELS) and supporting organisations EarnFlex and Guardhouse and our learning partner Nuology.
We were so pleased that IFPO CSO Sandi Davies was able to fly over from the US for the event along with guests, from France, Germany, Ireland, Austria, Luxembourg and of course the UK.
