Skills for Security is pleased to announce that Dahua has renewed its sponsorship for 2027, continuing its support of fire and security training and skills development across the UK for a fourth consecutive year.

Having first partnered with Skills for Security in 2023, Dahua continues to play a key role in supporting the next generation of fire and security professionals, helping ensure apprentices have access to the latest technology and equipment as they develop the skills needed for successful careers in the industry.

Dahua is also contributing to the WorldSkills UK Electronic Fire & Security Systems competition, which showcases the skills of aspiring engineers and installers from across the UK, helping to raise standards in technical training and champion the development of a highly skilled workforce.

David Scott, Managing Director of Skills for Security (right), said: “Dahua’s support reflects a shared commitment to addressing the industry’s skills gap and investing in future talent.

“Dahua’s ground-breaking technology means our learners are equipped with the practical knowledge and experience needed to meet the rapidly evolving demands of the sector.

“Skills for Security looks forward to continuing its work with Dahua over the coming year, building on the partnership and supporting the development of the next generation of fire and security engineers.”

Vital role to play

Michael Lawrence, Marketing Director at Dahua UK and Ireland, (left) said: “We are delighted to be sponsoring Skills for Security for the fourth consecutive year, particularly as we celebrate Dahua’s 10th anniversary in the UK.

“We believe technology providers have a vital role to play in sharing expertise, supporting installers and integrators in developing their teams, and encouraging more people to enter the profession.

“That is why training is a key priority for Dahua, from our technical certification programmes to the hands-on experience we offer at our UK Innovation Centre. Our long-term partnership with Skills for Security is an important part of that commitment.”

With the WorldSkills UK National Finals approaching, Dahua and Skills for Security wish the eight finalists in the 2026 Electronic Fire & Security Systems competition the very best of luck as they prepare to compete in South Wales on 18–19 November 2026.
