SSAIB were overjoyed to see our registered firms accounted for a quarter of the winners of yesterday’s ACS Pacesetters Security Officer of Distinction Awards.
Owing to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 event took place live on YouTube. However, that did not stop security officers from SSAIB firms Dardan Security, ICTS UK & Ireland and Land Sheriffs from popping the champagne at home – after the trio each had a representative within the list of 12 winners.
Javon Lewis of Cambridge-based Dardan Security was the second recipient on screen to collect his prize, during an awards show that SSAIB was proud to sponsor – as it recognises the achievements of security officers who go “above and beyond” in the line of duty and, in many instances, risked injury to themselves to prevent harm to others.
Barry Chapman and Tony Hall – representing Essex SSAIB firm Land Sheriffs Lts – then collected their award together, before fellow SIA Approved Contractors Scheme (ACS) firm ICTS UK & Ireland were able to champion the achievements of award winner Joherul Hoque.
The full list of 2021 winners are as follows:
Ashley Munn – Venture Security Management Limited
Javon Lewis – Dardan Security
Barry Chapman & Tony Hall – Land Sheriffs Limited
Joherul Hoque – ICTS UK & Ireland
Abdul Munim Khan – Axis Security Services Limited
Bartosz Wesierski – Constant Security Services Limited
Connor McMillan – Incentive Facilities Management Limited
Joshua Welch – APCOA Parking
Cedric Hudson – TSS (Total Security Services) Limited
Majid Khan – The Westgrove Group
Lucy Eaton – Sodexo Limited
Shayne Lacey – Oakpark Security Systems Limited
SSAIB Security Services scheme manager Lynn Watts-Plumpkin was on hand to present two of the awards, but we would like to extend our congratulations to all 12 of this year’s winners – as well as all 89 of those exceptional security officers that were shortlisted in what has been a very difficult year for the security industry and society as a whole.
