Our CEO Iain McCallister was proud to take part in the 2026 Thought Leadership Summit hosted by the Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs).

Invited to be a speaker by Professor Martin Gill, Iain joined Claire Shrosbee of CYS Security on stage for the session “What the Bosses Say” — a discussion bringing together industry leaders to share their perspectives on the developments and challenges shaping the security sector in 2026.

The afternoon featured a strong line-up of speakers, including Michelle Russell, Paul Fullwood and Richard Fogelman, creating an engaging and forward-thinking programme ahead of the OSPAs ceremony later that evening.

Following the event, Professor Martin Gill shared positive feedback on Iain’s contribution:

“Just a short note to thank you for the presentation at the Thought Leadership Summit. We have had excellent feedback about all the talks, and not least your contribution. It was timely to emphasise the importance of recognition — that is what the whole day was about, evening too of course. Good to hear about your own journey too.”

Iain’s address highlighted the importance of recognition within the security industry — not only in celebrating achievement, but in driving standards, morale and long-term sector growth. He also reflected on his own professional journey and the role that leadership, resilience and people-first values have played in the continued success of MAN Commercial Protection.

MAN Commercial Protection is proud to see our CEO contributing to key industry conversations and strengthening relationships that support collaboration and excellence across the sector.
