Sponsor:
The Security Institute would like to thank Bowles Security Services for sponsoring the 2010 Remembrance Lecture.
Bowles Security Services (UK) Ltd is delighted to continue its support of the Security Institute's Remembrance Lecture for the second year running. BSS is a Security Services provider, employing over 200 ex-Gurkha personnel. It is a company that has strong ties to the police force and the army and with this in mind, BSS is pleased to be contributing to an evening that will benefit Combat Stress and Veterans Aid.
Since the inaugural lecture in 2009, Bowles Security Services has expanded; most considerably through its recent addition of Alpha Plus Security Ltd to its portfolio. This union enables the two companies to provide greater geographical coverage and stronger depth of management resource for clients.
TSG National Ltd (The Security Group) is the newly formed company that BSS and Alpha Plus Security will integrate into. The integration is phased; at a pace that suits employees and the two companies but most importantly, one that is acceptable to all clients. TSG National Ltd will be headed by Brian Mein (BSS) as Chairman and Nigel Godden (Alpha Plus Security) as Managing Director.
Once integration is complete, TSG National Ltd will be able to offer the best from BSS and Alpha Plus Security. Both companies share a vision of exceptional customer service and have each achieved scores that place them in the top 10% of SIA Approved Contractors. Clients can also benefit from an upgraded, newly fitted Control Room Facility with state-of-the-art remote monitoring and Physical Security Information Management Systems (PSIM).
TSG National Ltd can offer clients outstanding service, expertise and value-for-money in a wide range of areas including:
- Manned Guarding

Charities:
In line with last year the profits from this event will be split between two service related charities. This year they are Combat Stress and Veterans Aid.
Combat Stress is the leading service provider in the care of Veterans' mental health. They deliver specialist, trauma-focused treatment and support to Ex-Service men and women whose problems are chronic, complex and long term.
Veterans Aid is a uniquely ‘hands on' charity within the Veterans world that has been operating for 78 years, quietly helping ex-Servicemen (and women) of all ages who are either homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. It is the "accident & emergency" unit for Veterans' community on a national basis.
