Mark Rogers, Executive Director, Corps Security commented, “Social Enterprise status brings many benefits. For our business it guarantees that our social mission remains at the very heart of all we do and ensures we continue to operate in an ethical, transparent, and accountable way. I am excited to have Amy lead on this. It is my hope that together we can achieve great things for our people and our planet whilst supporting our purpose and Amy will make sure as a business, we do exactly that.” Wilkinson began her career in the security industry in 2008 and over the past 13 years has held various roles across both sales and marketing functions.

Moving forward Wilkinson will work in collaboration with Corps charity partner Combat Stress, as well as other much deserving causes to define how the business can improve social impact. “One of the things I found when I joined Corps was it is not about the bottom line, whilst making a profit is important for Corps it is all about the people. I couldn’t be happier to take the lead on Social Enterprise. It is important for me that Corps gets the recognition it deserves for the work it does with ex-military personnel. Corps was founded on a social mission that it still lives by today. It is now my duty to make sure we keep that mission alive alongside achieving our environmental and governance goals,” stated Wilkinson.

Suprema

Suprema unveils its product lineup at Intersec

Suprema, a provider in access control and biometric solutions, participates in one of the largest security exhibitions of the Middle East, Intersec 2022, held in Dubai from January 16 to 18. At the event, Suprema shared a showcase of its third-generation access control portfolio, which focuses on contactless solutions with the latest market demands in the post-covid era. In 2021, Suprema differentiated itself as a premium brand with ‘FaceStation F2’, a facial recognition technology embedding a deep-learning AI algorithm. This year, Suprema will lead the global contactless security market with ‘BioStation 3’, the highly anticipated upcoming addition to its third-generation lineup of security solutions. BioStation 3 includes improved features reflecting the needs of operators, installers, and end-users and provides higher accuracy, faster recognition speed and a lower false acceptance rate (FAR) even with faces covered with masks of various shapes and colors. It also includes support for multiple credential options including not only facial recognition, but also mobile access cards, QR codes and barcodes, which provides higher security while also increasing customer convenience. Suprema also showed its active participation in protecting the environment. The booth, designed around the theme of eco-friendliness and encompassing Suprema’s biometric recognition and mobile access control solutions, illustrated that contactless access control solves the problem of environmental pollution caused by plastic RFID cards. In 2021, the CO2 emissions resulting from decomposing plastic waste was 1.8 billion metric tons, which is equal to the total CO2 emissions of 900 thermal power plants. Suprema’s mobile access solutions allow users to gain contactless access authentication via the Bluetooth or NFC capabilities of smartphones. This makes it possible to stop the reckless issuance of plastic RFID cards, leading to reduced environmental pollution and operational expenses, along with higher security by preventing false access when a card is stolen or lost. “BioStation 3, being the first release in Suprema’s third generation product lineup, is expected to offer an enhanced experience for operators, installers and end-users. Moreover, Suprema will continue to play its duty in environmental protection by minimising pollution caused by plastic access cards through emphasizing the advantages of using biometric and mobile access solutions,” said Suprema CEO Hanchul Kim. “Suprema has proudly retained the largest market share of biometrics in access control in Europe, Middle East and Africa region ahead of all other large-scale global security companies. Through this event in Dubai, Suprema will further drive our leading position in the global security market and demonstrate our technical superiority and vision for future business.   Media contact Rebecca Morpeth Spayne, Editor, Security Portfolio Tel: +44 (0) 1622 823 922 Email: editor@securitybuyer.com
