The finalists of the inaugural 2020 Benelux OSPAs have been announced

Oct 15, 2020News

Recognising the valuable contribution the security sector makes in protecting people, property and assets, the OSPAs showcase the very best organisations, teams, individuals and initiatives that the sector has to offer and acknowledges their considerable achievements. This year the OSPAs have teamed up with ASMC to present the awards virtually, and we are pleased to announce the first ever Benelux OSPA finalists.

Professor Martin Gill, founder of the OSPAs, said:

“We are delighted to be able to bring the OSPAs to the Benelux this year during such challenging times, and especially to see so many exceptional nominees in the inaugural edition of these awards.  The standard of entries was exceptional and were marked independently against set criteria by the judges nominated from the many leading supporting associations.
