Amulet has been recognised at the 2025 Security and Fire Excellence Awards for its leadership in modernising frontline railway security training.
The business was also commended for Security Guarding Company of the Year – over £35 million turnover, and highly commended for its partnership with c2c in the Security Team of the Year category.
This year’s award celebrates the Railway Safety Accreditation Scheme (RSAS) Plus, which was first developed in partnership with JRC Training in 2022. It was created by PGCE Cert Ed retired police officer Jim Ferran, educational practitioner Karen Ferran, and forensic psychologist Dr Keri Nixon. RSAS Plus builds on the existing RSAS by combining behavioural insights, legal foundations, and crisis-management techniques.
Amulet was praised for the scheme’s measurable results and expansion. In 2025, RSAS Plus served a wide network of transport customers, with 116 delegates completing training.
Implementation has resulted in significant increases in reporting accuracy, safeguarding interventions and evidence capture. On one customer account, byelaw offence reports rose from 1,454 in 2022 to 8,436 in 2025, and body-worn camera activations increased from 2,210 to 9,980, demonstrating significantly improved officer understanding, evidence gathering, and reporting diligence.
Kieran Mackie, MD at Amulet, said: “This award is a credit to everyone involved in shaping RSAS Plus, from our specialist trainers to the officers who put the learning into practice every day. RSAS Plus was designed to tackle anti-social behaviour, mental health crises, and incidents requiring safeguarding head-on, giving officers confidence and support to keep the public safe. We’re proud of the results so far and even more proud of the people delivering them.”
RSAS Plus Co-Creator Jim Ferran said: “Karen and I are delighted and honoured to be recognised by our peers in the industry. We hope that our training, in some small way, saves lives and empowers Amulet colleagues to keep themselves and service users safe.”

Building Management Systems (BMS) have long been used to control the heart of a building – monitoring and controlling its essential systems such as lighting, ventilation, heating and air conditioning. Facilities Managers want the best visibility to help detect and deal with concerns before they become issues.
This webinar brings together the experts from energy network provider, E.ON along with FM thought leaders to discuss moving from a reactive service to a proactive service. By identifying energy issues early and automatically, instead of occupants reporting issues, then potential faults can be identified early and remedied. The BMS does this before the problem occurs by using smart alerting and EMC support services.
Panel:
- Sara Bean: Editor FMJ (Facilities Management Journal)
- Nick Westlake: Energy and Service Delivery Manager at E.ON Control Solutions
- Sunil Shah, the author of IWFM’s Energy Management Good Practice Guide and MD of Acclaro Advisory
- David Cermak, Regional Facilities Manager for David Lloyd Clubs
