MITIE wins award for contribution to training in the security industry

Terry Cheese, Innovation and Relationship Manager for MITIE’s security business, has been awarded the BSIA Chairman’s award for his contribution to training in the security industry. 

Terry has been with MITIE since September 2007. During his time at MITIE he has shared his passion for training and development design and delivery, and has transformed MITIE’s security business’ approach to training and development for its people, and service excellence for its clients. 

As an experienced learning and development specialist, Terry set about developing internal training programmes for officers and operations managers as well as driving the creation of bespoke training for clients, tailored to their specific needs and environments. Terry’s strategy has addressed the importance of improving standards within MITIE and the industry through innovative training and coaching programmes to enhance skill sets and capability. These training and development initiatives are industry-leading. 

Bob Forsyth, Managing Director for MITIE’s security business commented on the announcement “I am delighted that Terry has been recognised for his contribution to both MITIE and the security industry. Terry has proved an invaluable colleague in his time with the security team over the last few years and has an area of expertise where we had a real gap before his arrival. Terry offers us the ability to provide tailored high level security and customer service training to our clients.” 

Terry Cheese added “This is a great achievement for me personally and for MITIE. I am passionate about what I do and will continue to work with MITIE’s people and clients to achieve security excellence. I am excited about the future and building on these successes.”

Notes for editors

What is MITIE?
We’re the strategic outsourcing company. What does that mean in practice? We manage facilities, properties and assets for our clients across the UK and beyond.

We work with our clients in three ways; some take full advantage of our whole range of expertise, others may only need one aspect of what we do:

Strategy and consultancy
+ Facilities and project management
+ Service delivery

Our strategic input can add value at the highest level by helping clients to manage their assets, while our practical management expertise can save customers money and reduce their carbon emissions. We work with a vast number of clients in every industry across both the public and private sectors and deliver the broadest range of services that can be found in one place: from integrated facilities management to engineering maintenance to lifecycle energy management and much more.

There’s a lot more to MITIE than you probably think. We’re a big company with big ambitions – a leading FTSE 250 support services business, with more than 56,000 people, revenues in excess of £1.7bn, and a reputation for being the best.
