A Word from our Sponsors
The Association is very grateful to Bernard Smith, Managing Director, G4S Cash Services (Ireland) Ltd for his support and sponsorship of this prestigious award.
Mr Bernard Smith, Managing Director, G4S Cash Services (Ireland) Ltd : “G4S is delighted to sponsor this year’s ISIA Premier Award. To G4S, Ireland’s largest provider of cash services, the security of the country is of paramount importance because it impacts on the safety of our staff members. To the countless unnamed people around the country who have contributed to making Ireland a safer place we owe a debt of gratitude. However, this award recognises the contribution of one person without whom Ireland would certainly have been a less safe place for all of us and especially for our crew members. To the winner, we offer our sincerest congratulations and appreciation. Over the coming year we look forward to the increasing regulation of the security industry under the Private Security Authority, which we believe can only make Ireland a safer place to live, and, for our staff members, to work”.
