Mick Clifford, Director of Ambrey Training, said, “International accreditation from Manipal City & Guilds is an important achievement for the company, allowing us to maintain the same standard of training and qualification throughout our MSO pool, be they UK or mixed nationality. Ambrey Training is the first private security training company to achieve this and demonstrates our commitment to the industry and our clients in producing highly trained individuals in risk management.”

John Thompson, Managing Director, Ambrey Risk, said, “The ability to provide a choice of MSO to our clients is very important to Ambrey’s business. To have them all qualified to an international standard really provides the assurance that an Ambrey MSO, UK or international has received the same training and will uphold the same high standards of service that we deliver throughout the Ambrey Group.”
