    Know what is going on

    The ASC has sponsored All Security Events in recognition of the need to ensure the coordination of events across the industry.

    To address the frustration of planning events only to discover they clash with another event, All Security Events was established by security industry veterans Graham Bassett and Mike Hurst.  As regular attendees at security industry events, they found themselves discussing which of the five security events happening in London on the same day they were going to attend. This prompted them to look at possible solutions and as result of that discussion AllSecurityEvents.com was created. It is a website for the whole industry to help with planing and coordination.

    Gary Thomas, ASC Chair said “Events, such as Business Groups and CONSEC take careful planning and a lot of commitment. The frustration when you discover an event is conflicting with another event when everything is in place can be very demoralising and impact the success. This is why a resource like All Security Events is so important to the industry.”

  • Imbert award

    Imbert award

    The Association of Security Consultants [ASC] have written to Universities and invited submissions for the Imbert Award.

    The Imbert Award is awarded annually to the best master’s degree dissertation on a security-related subject. It is fiercely competed for by students from universities across the UK. 

    The Imbert Award recognises outstanding master’s dissertations. The entries are evaluated by a panel of experienced judges and the Award helps to promote innovation and excellence in the security industry. The award is named after Lord Peter Imbert. Lord Imbert was a former Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. In recognition of his outstanding service to policing and public life, he was appointed a life peer in 1999. In that same year, he became the Association of Security Consultants’ first Patron, a position he held until he died in 2017.

    The dissertations are reviewed by a panel of expert judges who themselves possess a wealth of knowledge and experience. A rigorous set of criteria such as originality, critical analysis and overall contribution of knowledge to the field are employed to ensure a comprehensive yet equitable assessment is made. The aim is to recognise dissertations that not only meet high academic standards but also push the boundaries of knowledge, marking a commitment to promoting innovation and excellence in the field of security.

    Those who are chosen by the judging panel as having produced the most outstanding entries will be invited to an elegant and formal black-tie ceremony where the winner will be announced. In addition to this, all winners and finalists will receive complimentary membership to the ASC. This membership will provide them with a wide range of professional development and networking opportunities that will greatly aid them in their chosen careers.
