VPS GAINS A DOUBLE FINALS PLACE IN SECURITY EXCELLENCE
AWARDS Leading vacant property and security specialists, VPS and their sister company VPS Site Security, have uniquely been shortlisted in two categories this year for Security Excellence honours.
“We’re delighted to have won through to the SecurityEx finals twice over” said Anthony Owen, Managing Director of VPS. “VPS is in the Large Security Installer category, with an entry that included securing 51 CityLink depots stretching from Aberdeen to Southampton, all on New Year’s Eve last year. VPS Site Security is shortlisted for Security Project of the Year, for its innovative design combining the latest technologies with mobile patrols to protect a Costain highways construction project in South Wales.”
“I’m very proud that our staff’s expertise and hard work continues to gain recognition, and ensures VPS remains the leader in the field by a country mile. No other specialist in our sector has been shortlisted once, let alone twice.”
In their seventeenth year, the Security Excellence Awards have consistently

broken new ground in highlighting the very best people, projects and processes the UK’s security sector has to offer. The high calibre Judging Panel – including representatives from all areas of security & fire, the world of academia and the policing sector - will determine this year's Winners, to be announced at the ceremony at London Hilton, Park Lane on 25th November.
Last New Year’s Eve, administrators Ernst and Young (EY) called VPS after a major parcel courier collapsed leaving unprotected 1.6 million sq ft, 30,000 undelivered parcels and 51 depots around the UK. VPS secured and alarmed the City Link depots within 24 hours of receiving the instruction from EY.
Last week, VPS Site Security issued a case study on the £150 million Costain construction site along 14km of highway. The ‘Heads of Valleys’ road in South Wales is undergoing major improvements. It presents significant engineering and environmental challenges for safe traffic management and protection of equipment.
VPS Site Security developed a connectivity network using wireless fluid-mesh, supported by a mobile monitoring station. It provides early alerts to traffic flow problems and protects the materials and equipment along the site.

“We’re very proud to raise money for charity and each year we pick a charity with which there is a personal connection for someone within the CHSA or one that is relatively small and so would really benefit from the support we can provide,” explained Stephen Harrison, Chairman of the CHSA and Managing Director of Harrison Wipes.
“The Helping Treat Cancer Together Committee is in the second category.
It’s a small charity that
makes a big difference to the lives of those it is able to help.”
The Helping Treat Cancer Together Committee helps cancer patients with treatment costs the NHS will not fund where the patient’s doctors believe there is a reasonable chance the treatment will provide a cure, prolong life expectancy or improve quality of life.
The CHSA has raised the funds through its highlight events, which include its Annual Golf Day and Charity Ball. The Charity Ball took place in May at the Tara Copthorne Hotel in Kensington and the Golf Day took place at Rudding Park in September.
“Yet again this year our members have shown their generosity,” continued Stephen Harrison. “The money they have contributed will make a real difference to people whose treatment is no longer being funded by the NHS.”
