This list is a work in progress! We are accepting nominations on an ongoing basis. The list was launched so that frontline security staff would have a ‘one stop shop’ introducing them to high profile people in the security industry. It is part of our strategy to increase opportunities for our colleagues. This is an unofficial list operated by the editors, with welcome input from far too many people to thank here. Please contact us if your details on the list need amending – we are especially keen to include the correct website titles and links.
To nominate someone for this list please complete the nomination form – we’ve kept it straightforward!
