Think Security...Think ASIAL
With the Christmas and the holiday season fast approaching, Australia’s peak
security industry body, the Australian Security Industry Association (ASIAL) is urging
homeowners and businesses to start planning their security arrangements for the
festive period.
Through the launch of a
national Consumer Awareness Campaign this week, ASIAL

protect their homes and businesses, ASIAL is urging consumers to do their

choice.

As ASIAL’s CEO Bryan de Caires states, “when it comes to protecting your family,
business or property, you cannot afford to take any chances – always use an
appropriately licensed security provider– and make sure they are an ASIAL member.
ASIAL Members are bound by a professional code of conduct and are committed to
providing the highest standards”.
Over the coming weeks through a series of taxi and bus-backs advertising across the
country, consumers will be reminded to Think Security, Think ASIAL.
