At this year’s International Security Expo, the finalists for the UK OSPAs 2020 have been announced.
The 4th annual Outstanding Security Performance Awards will be held on Wednesday, 26th February 2020 in London at the Royal Lancaster Hotel. Each year, the OSPAs celebrate the exceptional contributions made by organisations, teams and individuals to the security industry.
“The standard of entries this year has once again been extremely high, providing some real challenges for our experienced set of judges, who all marked independently to a set of ethical guidelines. All those who are finalists reached a score threshold and those with low scores or were ranked lower than tenth equal are eliminated. This ensures our finalists represent the very best in the industry,” stated Professor Martin Gill, OSPAs Founder.
