• Bidvest Noonan Launches Tall Building Security Special Interest Group

27 January 2025

A new global initiative to address security challenges in tall buildings has been initiated by Bidvest Noonan.

In association with The Institute of Strategic Risk Management (ISRM), Bidvest Noonan will chair a Special Interest Group (SIG) dedicated to supporting the global tall-building sector. 

The SIG will identify and understand threats in tall buildings, bringing together industry stakeholders to facilitate discussion and establish new frameworks.

Tall buildings have their own unique security risks due to evacuation challenges, multiple access points and the sheer number of occupants.

Dr David Rubens, Executive Director at the ISRM, said: “The pace of change in today’s world is accelerating, creating new risks that cannot be tackled in isolation. This Special Interest Group provides an essential platform for bringing together expertise from across the industry to help organisations anticipate and navigate emerging threats. I want to thank Bidvest Noonan for their leadership in this initiative.”

Liz Cummins, Managing Director at Bidvest Noonan, added: “While every city and building is unique, many challenges and emerging threats in securing tall buildings are shared worldwide. That is why we are so pleased to work with the ISRM to bring together industry leaders, share insights, and help shape best practices for the future. We look forward to collaborating with stakeholders and sharing the expertise we have developed in supporting iconic tall buildings.”
