The National Association for Healthcare Security (NAHS) Awards represent the pinnacle of achievement and innovation in UK healthcare security. On 26th November 2025, SGC Security Services was proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the industry’s finest, celebrating a year of progress, partnership, and recognition.
Four Nominees, One Standard: Excellence
This year, SGC Security Services received multiple nominations – clear testament to our commitment to operational excellence, diversity, and sector leadership:
- Jennifer Gibson-Jones: Double nominee for Healthcare Diversity Initiative and Healthcare Woman Role Model, setting new standards for inclusivity.
- BCUHB Team (Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board): Nominated for the Healthcare Diversity Initiative for their transformative work in embedding equality, diversity, and inclusion.
- Jason Kotkowicz: Nominated for Healthcare Security Officer, recognised for his dedication to patient and staff safety.
- Ysbyty Gwynedd Bangor Security Team: Shortlisted for Healthcare Security Team, demonstrating the power of cohesive, rapid-response operations.
Highly Commended: Setting the Benchmark for Diversity in Healthcare Security
We are especially proud that our BCUHB team was officially recognised as Highly Commended in the Healthcare Diversity Initiative category:
“The Healthcare Diversity Initiative has strengthened three hospital security teams by embedding equality, diversity, and inclusion into everyday practice. Through targeted recruitment, mentoring, and leadership development, the initiative is increasing female representation on the frontline, enhancing patient comfort and staff confidence. Its ethnically and linguistically diverse workforce—including Welsh and Polish speakers—improves communication, cultural sensitivity, and patient experience. Collaboration across sites, continuous feedback, and supportive leadership ensure sustainable progress. By championing inclusive behaviours, enabling professional growth, and fostering a workforce that reflects the communities it serves, the initiative delivers measurable improvements in service quality, trust, and compassionate, patient-centred care.”
This external validation underscores SGC Security Services’ belief that diversity and inclusion are not just values – they are operational imperatives that drive better outcomes for patients, staff, and our clients.
