Optic Security Group has recorded an exceptional two category wins at the 2025 New Zealand Security Awards. which took place last Friday evening in Auckland.

The Goup's Victoria University of Wellington upgrade team, led by Aaron Johnson and including Anthony Taingahue, Ruperake Charles Lave, and James Sutherland, took out the coveted Security Integrator of the Year category.

“A highly performing team has many component parts. The sum of those parts produces the results, and our Wellington team has set the standard for all of us meet at Optic Security,” said Managing Director Michael Cunningham.

“Well done team, you have been recognised for what you have worked hard to deliver, the deep customer relationships built on service and ownership of the results. National champions, we are all very proud of you!"

According to NZ General Manager Nik Boeinghoff, the Wellington team consistently goes above and beyond to deliver outstanding results for their customers.

“Whether it's their strong customer service, operational performance, or team collaboration, they continue to set a high standard for others to follow, and it’s truly gratifying to see that effort recognised,” he said.

Auckland-based Group Brand Strategy & Innovation Director Nicholas Dynon took out the prestigious Security Consultant of the Year category.
