Message from the Chairman

2017 is steaming ahead and we have a busy

programme planned for PSSA promotion. I

hope you all have a successful year.

2016 saw a lot of progress for PSSA with a

strategic review early in the year leading to a

new website, increased personnel resources,

a number of new membership services and

benefits, successful stands at two security

industry exhibitions, and a well attended

end of year conference enriched by speakers

from, amongst others, CPNI and the Home

Office. All of the above, plus the establishment of closer ties with other

relevant industry bodies and the addition of new PSSA members, have

helped to significantly raise the profile of PSSA and what it stands for in

many relevant areas.

In 2017 we will seek to build upon that awareness momentum with

further marketing and exhibition attendances as well as looking to

introduce new initiatives to help move our industry forward as a whole.

Work on such initiatives is underway now following initial discussion of

possibilities from our AGM in December and we hope to be in position to

give more specific update this in our next newsletter.

Simon Towers, Chairman PSSA
