Founded in 1987 we proudly celebrated our 30th year in 2017. The organisation was formed as a result of the amalgamation of the Association of Hotel Security Managers and The Guild of Hotel Security Managers, both of whom had been operating since 1975. Since 1987 our members have come together to share their experiences, knowledge & expertise, offer advice and enjoy a mutual support network which collectively seeks to achieve the highest standards of service excellence.
As well as sharing vital information on a daily basis, we meet regularly on a monthly basis in London inviting guest speakers offering expert, independent knowledge and advice on a broad range of subjects.
It is critical for hospitality businesses to work together in the pursuit of building safer environments. IHSM provides the space where industry professionals collaboratively work towards achieving this
The IHSM is a great forum to share and collaborate with industry professionals
