Description

I have a vast experience in the physical security arena totalling 40 years. I am able to provide full security risk analysis of your site, venue or personal area, with a list of recommendations tailored to your requirement.

For the past decade i have operated as the global corporate head of security for a major UK based car manufacturer. Further' I was the head of security running large teams in the aviation and large public venue industries, as well as a security guarding operational manager. I have been a member of and team leader for many personal security details worldwide. Prior to the private security roles, I was a police officer specialising in support services operations which included VIP visit protection and venue search & seal, armed response and violent disorder suppression.

All of this has provided me with an overarching understanding of the security requirements of a variety of entities, no matter the scale.
