First Security (Guards) has named Gary Hughes and Keith Walter as joint winners of the company's Security Officer of the Year Award for their "highly commendable efforts" following last July's suicide bombings in central London.

Although the officers were working on different contracts, they were in the same building - Lynton House in Tavistock Square - on the day of the terrorist attacks.

First's md Jonathan Levine (pictured, left, with Gary Hughes) told SMT: "These officers made exceptional efforts, displaying great qualities whether co-ordinating emergency activities, maintaining vital communications or providing victim support."
