We are delighted to announce the winners of this year’s German Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs). The prestigious award presentation took place at DRIVE, Volkswagen Group Forum in Berlin as part of a gala dinner.
OSPA winners were selected by an esteemed panel of industry figures who judged entries using the same criteria which is applied across the world. Each winner demonstrated that they have performed at an exceptional level and has shown their commitment and outstanding performance within the security sector.
Professor Martin Gill, founder of the OSPAs said;
The third German OSPAs, hosted by Volkswagen, was an outstanding success. A packed audience celebrated OSPAs being awarded in nine categories. The judges noted that the competition is getting more intense each year. The celebrations are continuing into the early hours. Many congratulations to all the finalists and of course, especially to our winners.
