New Courses at Training For Success
posted on 18/03/2005

For some, training and development is seen primarily as a cost. In some cases a significant cost. Add elements of health, safety and security to the equation and the eyes of budget holders and the executive may begin to glaze over.

Training For Success has established successful partnerships with a number of high profile clients throughout the UK providing effective solutions to both commercial requirements.

posted on 17/03/2005

While specific information is understandably sparse, the security services are said to be remaining very vigilant. Some notable successes have been achieved in recent years in the UK, receiving only cursory mention in the media. These have involved the interception or disruption of terrorist activities such as a possible in-flight hijacking in 2003 and preparations for a vehicle bomb in 2004.

CEM Systems has won the contract to supply the integrated security management system to Belfast harbour.
