The Association of Security Consultants (ASC) held its first 2016 Business Group event at the Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) in the City of London on 18 February 2016. “2016 is a significant year for us as the ASC celebrates its 25th Anniversary” explained ASC Chairman Joe Connell.

In fact, there has never been a better time to join the ASC either as a member, associate or supporter. ASC’s move to such a prestige environment as the HAC is just one example of how its focussing on delivering enhanced benefits to its members. ASC Business Groups offer great opportunities for professional learning, sharing and networking. Add to that the ability to earn professional development awards, and the opportunities for dining and networking at the House of Lords, RAF Club and HAC, and first class conferencing at the Marriott Hotel Heathrow, it’s no wonder ASC membership applications are at an all-time high.

Jason Piggott and James Walker of Dallmeier plus Geoff Gritton and Dave Adams of Veracity informed, shared and entertained up to 60 guests on Thursday 18^th alongside Richard Bell, Head of Cyber Operations at Transport for London.

From an industry perspective. Murray Bothwell, MD of Veracity states ‘The ASC Event at The Honourable Artillery Company in London was definitely a great opportunity for Veracity to meet many of the key consultants, specifiers and project managers from the UK Security Industry. I know that our team were delighted with the turnout and the organisation of the whole event.’ James Walker, Managing Director, Dallmeier Electronic UK Ltd adds ‘The day was very educational for all who attended, great opportunity for networking with both new and regular ASC members. Dallmeier will certainly be returning to future ASC Business Group events to benefit further from the educational and interactive presentations given across all aspects of security topics.’

Roger Noakes, ASC’s Vice Chairman commented ‘We are grateful to our sponsors, which in this case included Dallmeier, Veracity and Frontline, and indeed to our guest speakers who always provide added interest and relevance to industry professionals. We are pleased to be able to offer this great service to our members, their guests and associates and look forward to an exciting range of ASC events throughout 2016’.
