Asuavo Security Company Limited (ASCL), has been adjudged the best event security provider of the year, at the just ended Ghana Events Awards (GEA) 2021 held in Accra.
The GEA is organised annually and seeks to honour and celebrate unique indigenous events and organisers who have excelled in event management across the country.
It brought together various stakeholders in the entertainment and business industries.
Genet Services won the Best Event Venue of the year award, while the likes of gospel musician Diana Hamilton, 3 Music awards and DJ Vyruski won different categories of the awards during the ceremony.
Reacting to the development, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ASCL, Mr Richard Osei, expressed gratitude to organisers of the awards scheme for recognising his outfit’s contribution towards the success of many events in the country, especially when it comes to the security of attendees and their valuables.
He noted that the status achieved was through hard work and dedication and assured ASCL’s clients and the public in general of continuous delivery of excellent services.
“We are grateful for the honour and the opportunity to serve our clients,” he added.
Touching on the significance of security at events, he mentioned that a proper security system ensured the safety of guests and further prevents damage to the venue.
According to him, being the leading private security services company of preference in Ghana and beyond, whilst providing value for stakeholders was what his outfit focused on at the moment.
“We are poised on exceeding clients’ expectations by delivering high-quality and professional private security services based on trust and confidence,” he added.
What set ASCL apart from other events organisers is that “we do not wait until the day of the programme before showing up, we engage organisers from the planning stage to the end. We are part of the process from the very beginning.”
Also, the company was the official security provider for the much talked about Afronations Concert held for four consecutive days in 2019 which saw the gathering of more than 18,000 people from across the globe for the programme which was also dubbed “The Year of Return”.
There was no record of anyone getting hurt throughout the Afronations programme.
