The UK Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) are delighted to announce the 2023 finalists.
Now in their seventh year, the UK OSPAs serve to acknowledge the creditable and outstanding contributions that companies, initiatives, teams and individuals make to the security industry and wider community. The awards recognise exceptional performance in different categories.
Founder of the OSPAs, Professor Martin Gill, commented: “The standard of entries this year has once again been extremely high, providing some real challenges for our judging panel of 30 industry experts, who all marked independently to a set of ethical guidelines. Gill further said: “This year saw the most entries ever received, with some categories receiving more than 50 nominations. I know there will be disappointment for those who didn’t make it to the finalists list but reaching this stage was a major achievement requiring entries to reach a score threshold, and then there is a maximum of 10 finalists per category. Exceptional work is taking place to keep us all safe and secure and I applaud you all.”
Finalists will now go forward to the next phase of the competition and winners will be announced at the UK OSPAs awards dinner taking place on Thursday 23rd February 2023 at the Royal Lancaster London.
