The event continues to grow from strength to strength. It has proved invaluable to many companies and operatives in the close protection sector post-covid era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Morrison of Close Protection World said, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am extremely pleased that Westminster Security has once again supported the annual London Close Protection conference.\u00a0Having one of the leading Close Protection companies in London sponsoring our event is a real \u2018Tip of the hat\u2019 to the hard work of the events team over the last ten years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Westminster will join an ever-growing list of leading Close Protection companies attending the 12th November conference, which means \u2013 Attend!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Networking, meeting, and socialising with the owners and operational managers of the top London CP companies in one room only happens at these events.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conference is an annual networking and security event in the heart of the London Executive Protection industry. It is an opportunity for Security and Close Protection Professionals to meet, network and socialise in a secure and professional environment. This event is for the entire spectrum of the security sector: From security consultants, family TLs and newly trained CPOs to Hostile operators working in Afghan, family chauffeurs and Surveillance professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conference will host a full day of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Presentations<\/li><li>Guest speakers<\/li><li>Exhibitors<\/li><li>Workshops<\/li><li>Networking<\/li><li>Charity raffle with \u00a320K worth of security courses, including full Close Protection Courses<\/li><li>Sponsored free lunch&nbsp;<\/li><li>Sponsored drinks reception<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This Summer has shown that the close protection sector has made a swift comeback after years of lockdowns and uncertainty. Westminster Security recorded its busiest \u2018summer season\u2019 on record, often struggling to find and recruit available operatives. We even resorted to flying operatives in from overseas to fulfil surge requirements on contracts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Summer, it was evident that many operatives have left the industry and found alternative employment after two years of little to no work. The new SIA Close Protection \u201ctop-up training\u201d requirements have exasperated this situation. The new requirements have left many experienced close protection operatives further frustrated. Many have decided they will let their licences expire and leave the industry for good.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, there has never been a better time to attend, network, book courses, and excel in the industry. As the old and bold leave, they must be replaced by the next generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find more information and book tickets here:&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/e\/2022-close-protection-and-security-conference-tickets-227141635747\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/e\/2022-close-protection-and-security-conference-tickets-227141635747<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We look forward to seeing you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Westminster Security is delighted to announce that we are again sponsoring and attending the 2022 Close Protection World \u2013 Security and Networking conference in London this year.
