The list, comprising of directors and influencers from all sectors of the industries, was compiled by Ifsec International to mark the 40th birthday of their trade show.

Ranked 15th overall and the highest ranked woman, Julie Kenny said of the achievement; “Being in the security industry for over 25 years, I have seen a gradual change from what was a totally male dominated market; to one where women are playing an increasingly influential role. It’s fantastic to see women included in the top 40 most influential people in the security and fire industries and I am over the moon to be recognised by my peers in this way.”
