After being held remotely the last two years due to the pandemic, 29^th June saw the return of the  2022 British Security Awards, hosted by the British Security Industry Association, and the occasion was better than ever! Held at the London Marriott Grosvenor Square, the sell-out lunch and ceremony attracted representatives from across the industry.

MAN Commercial Protection were delighted to be in the running for three categories –

• Best Team – The Brewery / Cambridge Leisure
• Business of the Year
• Contribution to the Industry – Iain McCallister, CEO – WINNER!

The very special ‘Contribution to the Industry’ award celebrates individuals who have not only dedicated themselves to a career in security, but have shown outstanding leadership and flair, becoming industry ambassadors.

In being chosen as the 2022 winner, Iain has been recognised for his ambition, professionalism, enthusiasm, and experience within the industry, along with his inspirational leadership  and mentoring skills that have guided MAN Commercial Protection to a near £60m annual turnover with over 1500 employees nationwide. This year, Iain has been actively involved in working to change the perception of the security sector, collaborating with other industry leaders on projects and marketing initiatives to promote recognition for the work of security officers in keeping people, places and property professionally protected.

Iain McCallister, CEO, said: “This is a very special award and a massive achievement and career highlight for me. I have been in the security industry for over 30 years now and I believe that with hard work, passion and belief, great things are possible. I am hugely honoured to receive recognition for my contribution to the industry, thank you to the judges and the BSIA, and especially to all at MAN Commercial Protection.”
