June was an exceptionally dynamic month for Guardhouse, as our team proudly immersed ourselves in two significant industry events: the Security Journal UK (SJUK) Conference and the New Zealand Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs). These engagements provided invaluable opportunities to connect with professionals, showcase our latest innovations, and collectively celebrate the unwavering commitment to excellence across the global security sector.
On Friday, 27th June 2025, Guardhouse had the distinct honour of attending the fourth annual New Zealand Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs). Held at the picturesque Ellerslie Racecourse as part of the ASIS New Zealand Certification Dinner, the evening was a powerful testament to the remarkable talent within the industry.
As a proud sponsor of the OSPAs, Guardhouse was delighted to witness the recognition of outstanding contributions. The event celebrated winners across 11 diverse categories, truly highlighting the depth of innovation and dedication present in the New Zealand security landscape. We extend our warmest congratulations once again to all the finalists and award recipients. Your professionalism, impact, and tireless efforts continue to elevate industry standards, and it was incredibly rewarding to be a part of an evening that championed such high levels of achievement.
Earlier in June, our team was also actively involved in the Security Journal UK (SJUK) Conference. This pivotal event served as a crucial forum for discussing the latest advancements, emerging trends, and pressing challenges within the UK's security and justice sectors.
The conference provided an invaluable platform for us to engage directly with UK-based security leaders, government representatives, and technology innovators. At our dedicated stand, we were busy demonstrating how Guardhouse's end-to-end workforce management solution is custom-built to address the intricate operational complexities faced by security companies. We showcased our capabilities in:
Smart Security Rostering: Highlighting how our system streamlines scheduling, optimises resource allocation, and ensures compliance.
Error-Free Invoicing and Payroll: Demonstrating how our integrated approach eliminates manual errors, saving time and boosting profitability.
Robust Compliance Features: Explaining how automated checks and alerts keep guard profiles up-to-date and ensure adherence to regulatory requirements.
Comprehensive Incident Reporting: Showcasing our digital-first approach to capturing and managing critical incident data.
The insightful conversations we had throughout the conference reinforced the critical and growing need for integrated, intelligent solutions in today's dynamic security landscape.
Our participation in both the SJUK Conference and the NZ OSPAs allowed us to connect meaningfully with our valued customers and potential partners. These interactions provided crucial insights into regional market needs and reinforced Guardhouse's unwavering commitment to fostering global excellence in security workforce management. Events such as these are vital for nurturing collaboration, sharing best practices, and collectively driving the security industry forward.
We extend our sincere gratitude to all the organisers, fellow exhibitors, and every attendee at both events. It was a privilege to be a part of these important discussions and celebrations, and we eagerly look forward to continuing our support and innovation within the security sector.
