BSIA Briefing – Brexit and the Private Security Industry – Staffing crises and contingency planning

Published: 28 Feb, 2019

There is no doubt that within the media there is a lot of talk about Brexit. With just over a month to go until our decision of which deal to take is made, there is still a lot of speculation regarding exactly what effects this will have on the UK.

Why aren't we more prepared?

Published: 09 Jan, 2019

I find it strange just how quiet the security industry is on the subject of Brexit. Whether you voted to leave or remain, whether you believe in the PM’s plan or think she is wasting valuable time, Brexit is undoubtedly the topic of the moment and will remain so for some time to come. Yet collectively the security industry remains relatively mute on its potential impact – which could be significant.
