www.hcsecuritysolutions.comMessage 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.
