Security on Screen vendor member, HID Global also went home with a prize – for Innovative Security Project. BSIA said HID has modernised the University of Dundee campus security by implementing Mobile Access and Signo readers, enabling staff and students to access buildings using RFID cards or smartphones for touch-free entry. This project enhances safety, complies with Martyn’s Law, and improves operational efficiency by streamlining credential issuance through cloud-based tech; reducing costs, plastic use and administration. The runner up in this category was Lodge Service.
Finally, the Chairman’s Award went to Dame Julie Kenny, who founded Pyronix over 40 years ago, and remained a driving force within the business until 2016. “She is a pioneer for women in the industry,” BSIA said, “both in her role at Pyronix and also the Chair of the BSIA and recently as the Chair of RISC. Her legacy will live on in the people that knew her and the impact she had in so many walks of life.”
