In a landmark move to elevate professional standards in the UK security sector, the Chartered Security Professionals Register is proud to announce that Carlisle Support Services has become the first company to join the newly established Chartered Security Professionals (CSyP) Supporters Panel. As part of their commitment to professional excellence in the security sector, Carlisle has pledged to support the work of the Register and to actively promote CSyP status across their organisation. Having eliminated the use of subcontractors for over a year, this further underscores their commitment to ethical labour practices, investment in people development, and ambition to elevate industry standards.
Paul Evans, CEO of Carlisle Support Services, commented:
“We are proud to support the Register and the important role it plays in raising standards across the industry. In addition to our donation, we’re committing to funding at least three more of our team achieving Chartered status by the end of this year. This reflects our ongoing drive to invest in professional development and leadership within the security sector.”
This move aligns with broader industry calls for greater accountability, ethical employment practices, and investment in a skilled, professional security workforce. The Supporters Panel is a new initiative that invites organisations to actively promote CSyP status, support professional development, and contribute to the Register’s outreach and mentoring activities.
Mike Bluestone CSyP, Registrar of the RCSP, welcomed the announcement:
“Carlisle has long demonstrated a strong commitment to quality, integrity, and the advancement of our profession. Their leadership as the first supporter sets an excellent example for the wider industry.”
This partnership marks a significant milestone for the Register as it seeks to engage more organisations in championing the value of Chartership and professional standards in security. Carlisle support will help to fund the Register’s development and outreach efforts, ensuring greater access to mentoring, assessment, and resources for aspiring Chartered Security Professionals.
The Register of Chartered Security Professionals (CSyP) recognises individuals who demonstrate the highest levels of competence, integrity, and leadership in the security profession. It is widely regarded as the gold standard for security practitioners in the UK and beyond.
