The finalists for the 2021 UK’s Outstanding Security Performance Awards have been announced. Entrants from across the security sector are celebrating their success in the first phase of the judging process.
Between them, the sixteen awards recognise companies, individuals, teams, products and initiatives that have made a significant impact and have demonstrated outstanding performance at the highest level within the sector.
“The OSPAs are growing year on year and really have become the ultimate accolade for everyone working in security, whether a buyer or supplier” says founder of the OSPAs, Professor Martin Gill. “I would like to thank everyone who entered for making this a bumper year. With such stiff competition, I can honestly say that every finalist is a winner.”
