The influencers span seven categories, with nominees and winners coming from across the globe.

Since then, Selectamark Security Systems Plc has helped homeowners, businesses, local authorities, hospitals and schools protect their assets, marking over 75 million valuable items in the process.

Selectamark owns and maintains BikeRegister, the national cycle database.

James has forged many close relationships across the security industry and policing through his desire to deliver quality solutions, to be a trusted advisor, and to drive and promote industry standards.

He strongly believes in cross-sector collaboration, particularly in bringing crime prevention solutions to police, insurance companies and OEMs.

James is the Vice-Chairman of the BSIA’s Asset and Property Marking section, sits on the ADS Security Export Focus Group, is part of national police crime action groups and is a BSI committee member for the creation of a new British asset marking standard.

He is also a Liveryman of The Worshipful Company of Security Professionals and is on the Board of Trustees for its Charitable Trust.

James Moore, editor of IFSEC Global, which is run by UBM that owns IFSEC International, explained how the judges reached their decisions this year.

“The process consisted of two stages. First, we invited nominations from the IFSEC Global audience and beyond. Then, a panel of judges, drawn from across the industries assigned points to each nomination based on the persuasiveness of the nomination, their research into the nominee and their own knowledge of the nominee’s contributions to their field. The judges were also permitted to submit a limited number of nominations themselves, which were then scored by the other judges.”

He concluded: “Both the quality and quantity of entries was extremely high this year. It is quite clear the passion and commitment so many of the professionals involved in security and fire safety hold for their respective sectors.”
