We are delighted to announce that Andy Davis, Managing Director of Trident Manor and Chair of the International Arts and Antiquities Security Forum (IAASF), has been appointed as a judge for the 2027 UK Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs).

In this role, Andy will represent the IAASF on the independent judging panel, helping to assess and recognise excellence across the UK security sector. The OSPAs are widely regarded as one of the security industry's most prestigious awards programmes, celebrating outstanding individuals, teams, organisations and innovations that make a significant contribution to security.

A key strength of the OSPAs is their independent and transparent judging process, with judges nominated by supporting organisations and special interest groups rather than selected by the awards organisers themselves. As Chair of the IAASF and a long-standing security professional with extensive experience across the cultural heritage and wider security sectors, Andy will bring valuable expertise and insight to the judging process.

The 2027 UK OSPAs will take place on 18 February 2027 at the Royal Lancaster London, bringing together security professionals from across the industry to celebrate achievement, innovation and best practice.
