Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs), the United Kingdom (UK)-based independent award scheme, elevated Halogen Security Company Limited recently with the award of Outstanding Contract Security Company in Nigeria in 2019.

Halogen Security is Nigeria’s most rated security risk solutions company and this award, which is part of events marking this year’s SECUREX, is a reward and recognition of the company’s outstanding performance in the security sector in the country.

At the awards presentation held in Lagos and attended by leading security professionals, thought leaders and other stakeholders, the company was recognised in the highest category for its consistent display of excellence in security risk solutions delivery.

Wale Olaoye, the company’s Group Managing Director, described the award as a confirmation of Halogen Security Company’s operational model established on the pedestal of exceptional passion for professionalism, integrity and service excellence.

“We are indeed very proud and delighted that our company emerged 2019 Outstanding Contract Security Company in the Nigerian market as announced by OSPAs, the renowned UK-based security standards evaluation body. This unique award is another testimony to our commitment to continually redefine security practice and to provide cutting-edge enterprise security risk management solutions,” he declared.

“We are particularly happy that the award is coming on the heels of our major transformation from being the regular security company to a more compact power-house of comprehensive security solutions with six subsidiaries designed to explore new frontiers in security risk management. We are vindicated by this award as it further gives credence to our avowed operational model which is hinged on the pedestal of exceptional passion for professionalism, integrity and service excellence,” Olaoye said.

He praised the company’s workforce for being the superpowers behind Halogen’s unending innovation, service excellence and success. “Our highly inspired and motivated work force is germane to this success. Their phenomenal commitment to our service delivery standards exemplifies our values of securing our clients with passion and our communities with care on a daily basis.”

OSPAs founder, Martin Gill, a professor, said the body provides an independent platform to showcase excellence and outstanding performance, ensuring that those who contribute to maintaining high standards in the security solutions industry are recognised and rewarded.

“The judging panel was nominated by the leading security associations and scored each entry independently, and all those that were selected as finalists and winners demonstrated that they really are the very best and should feel extremely proud.”

OSPAs award was Halogen Security’s second recognition from the global body in two consecutive years. Academy Halogen, a subsidiary of Halogen, founded as an institution for capacity building in enterprise security risk management, policy development and thought leadership, was in 2018 crowned outstanding security training initiative for the year.
