As part of the 40th birthday celebrations at Ifsec International, the show has worked hard with industry leaders and their extensive readership to compile a list of 40 of the most influential people in the global security and fire industries.

Keith Bloodworth was selected as the 6th most influential person within the global security and fire industries. The magazine quoted that one of his nominations reads, "Few others have invested as much time, energy and resources into fundamental innovation within this industry as Keith. His vision and execution of this is helping to secure the future of each and every one of us."

Ifsec International recognised Keith as “shaping the integration technology and his vision of a connected and intelligent physical security has inspired those around him to build interest in PSIM as an innovative and useful technology idea”.

“It is great to be recognised as an agent of change within the industry. I have long been an advocate of bringing best practices from the IT industry and introducing these concepts and ideas into physical security. I believe this will help catapult physical security practices from closed, antiquated and expensive to engaged, informative and valued”, Keith Bloodworth comments. “I would also like to take this opportunity to recognise the teams of people around me whose continuing hard work and support have helped to bring our innovations in PSIM security from concept to reality”.
