Yesterday, our Operations Director, Dele Ogunlaru M.ISRM MSyI visited one of our flagship sites and took part in a Major Incident Response Workshop delivered in collaboration with the City of London Police. The session focused on practical responses to major incidents, with real scenarios and shared learning to strengthen coordination and readiness. A valuable opportunity to engage directly with the police, exchange insight, and reinforce leadership focus on building resilience and ensuring our teams are prepared to respond effectively when it matters most.

It was great to have our Bid Manager, Connor McDevitt, down from Glasgow last week, visiting several London sites he and our Sales team helped secure. This was his first time seeing many of these projects in person, a strong reminder of what our work delivers in practice. At SmartSec Solutions, seeing delivery first-hand shows the value of the detail, collaboration, and hard work behind every bid. From the initial opportunity through to site delivery, it's always a team effort, working with our frontline colleagues to deliver the high-quality service our clients expect. Big thanks to everyone across the SmartSec team who helps deliver these contracts day to day. We look forward to continuing to grow and build on this momentum.
