Founder and former chair of the City
Security Council, David Ward FSyI has
shared his thoughts on Fernandes’
appointment:
“This is an excellent appointment. Ashley
brings considerable knowledge and
experience to the role along with a huge
amount of enthusiasm. I’m sure he will be
in an ideal position to pick up from Neil
and help continue to drive forward the
Council’s objectives during 2022. We look
forward to working with him.”
What is the City Security Council?

The City Security Council (CSC) was
established by leading Approved
Contractor Scheme (ACS) security
providers. Originally a collaborative
partnership between City based security
companies and the City of London Police
formed to assist them and the City of
London Corporation whenever there is a
major incident, crises or significant event
that takes place within the footprint of
the Square Mile in the City. Its strategic
aim is to explore ways to improve
collective responses to threats from
terrorism, crisis or emergencies, which
affect the City of London.

Today, the CSC has extended its
membership beyond the City of London
in the belief that by spreading its
collaborative approach beyond the city
boundaries will have a major benefit
to the security industry, help assist
police forces and emergency services
nationwide and improve the safety of our
communities.
