NSI Annual Drinks Reception at IFSEC International Celebrating 20th Anniversary of Independence
Richard Jenkins commented: “We are delighted to be once again supporting IFSEC and FIREX as the most successful shows in our sector. Our drinks reception celebrates the significant 20-year milestone of NSI independence, demonstrating the confidence and high regard stakeholders and approved companies alike place in the integrity of NSI’s independent certification in the security and fire protection sectors, and the underlying message to customers that the industry is serious about quality and service.
“We look forward to welcoming our stakeholders, approved companies and invited guests to raise a glass to the next 20 years of NSI independence.”
The drinks reception is just one of the ways in which NSI will be supporting and engaging with representatives from its approved companies and industry colleagues at this year’s IFSEC.
NSI Speakers at the shows will be covering the following topics: best practice in CCTV systems, pitfalls to avoid with powered gates, continuing automation of alarm signalling, and fire risk assessment.
