The SITO National Conference 2003 is scheduled for Tuesday 4 November at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham.
With the organisation (and the industry at large) currently in the throes of major structural and logistical change, that is the central focus for the event.

Following an appraisal of SITO's Annual Report courtesy of British Security Industry Association (BSIA) chief executive David Dickinson, Security Industry Authority chief executive John Saunders will then offer delegates an overview of progress with regulation to date.

Allison Harrop (of Peninsula Business Services) is due to review the Working Time Directive and its likely impact on the guarding industry, while the post-lunch session is dominated by Professor Martin Gill of PRCI (who'll discuss the development of a Sector Skills Strategy for the industry) and Wilson James director Stuart Lowden. Lowden will be looking at Best Practice in manned security service delivery, and how the industry can 'get it right'.

Security International's Chris Brogan also examines privacy laws and how they're changing in relation to the security process, while the impact of European Standards on British systems manufacturers is outlined by the BSIA's Alex Carmichael.

Further details on the conference are available from Louise Lowe at SITO on (telephone) 01905 20004.
