Stacey Peel, Associate Director, Arup, UK

Speaker Biograghy: Stacey leads Arup’s global strategic aviation security business. She is an aviation security specialist with a background in risk management, government policy, regulation and operations with extensive experience working in Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Europe regions. Stacey has a passion for turning the focus of aviation security from protective to risk-based preventive security. In doing so she pursues solutions that not only reduce the risk from terrorism but are proportionate and suitable to clients' business. This includes addressing passenger experience and commercial objectives, whilst meeting compliance requirements. Whilst Stacey’s background is mainly security from a government and regulatory perspective she has embraced Arup’s work to ‘Shape a Better World’ by actively driving the discussions on security being considered an infrastructure design discipline, that design is risk- based and finding flexible solutions for business which avoid bolt-on retrospective security measures. Prior to joining Arup Stacey worked in aviation security within the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and Australian Federal Government. Stacey and her husband, Brett reside in London and have whole-heartedly taken to the antipodean trait of traipsing around the UK and the rest of Europe at every opportunity.


Day 2 - 15 March
Session:
Airport Design, Planning & Development


10:05 - 10:35 - Security by design: it makes good business sense
Synopsis: The vulnerability of an airport's landside to a terrorist attack is well known and sadly exploited, most recently in Istanbul and Brussels. A holistic and risk-based approach to landside security coupled with involving security in all landside developments – even those developments without obvious security scope – provides a range of benefits beyond security, including commercial, future-proofing and passenger experience.
