I am delighted to announce that I have joined Frontline Security Solutions based out of Chalfont St Peter. After much research I feel that because the company and its Board of Directors share the same philosophy and passion for quality service as I do, that this is the right company for me and my future team to re establish ourselves. After two weeks of joining myself and Roy Knight have meet clients and seen projects that have more than underlined the companies claims and I am… Show more I am delighted to announce that I have joined Frontline Security Solutions based out of Chalfont St Peter.

I recognised back in 2000, that there is was an increasing convergence and overlapping of the IT and Electronic Security Industries as large security systems were becoming predominantly IT based solutions.It was my belief that with the phenomenal growth of bandwidth on corporate networks coupled with the software integration of the ever increasing complexity and scale, has left a large hole in the market that many security companies have not been able to fill.There is an increasingly… Show more I recognised back in 2000, that there is was an increasing convergence and overlapping of the IT and Electronic Security Industries as large security systems were becoming predominantly IT based solutions.It was my belief that with the phenomenal growth of bandwidth on corporate networks coupled with the software integration of the ever increasing complexity and scale, has left a large hole in the market that many security companies have not been able to fill.There is an increasingly growing list of small integrators that can support clients at a local level, but then they struggle to support the remote sites when they are located over large geographic areas.The larger companies tend think short term, so the clients tend be neglected as the industry chases capital spend projects that are highly competitive, which means that sales staff are not on hand to discuss system integration and technology road maps that the clients crave for. After forming Sisys HSG within Chubb, I built a team, who have over 200 years of combined experience in providing such a service to many large blue chip corporate clients. I also believe that there are numerous companies that are at a cross roads and are uncertain on how to proceed when looking for a next generation security system to meet their future needs. This is due to an absence of a large integrator that can supply the “local” expertise and advice, coupled with the “feet on the street” to deliver the service.The HSG team solved these very real problems by forming a team that, had a passion for service delivery and was fully conversant with all the major security platforms and capable of conversing with the clients IT departments to assist the client’s security teams to deliver systems that give tangible benefits in all operational, security and budgetary categories.My Thanks go to Colin Leatherbarrow,Roy Knight, Bernadette,Jacob, Sean and Dominic for helping build the dream team which delivered such fantastic results Show less

After a 3 month interim period where all the accounts were transferred and integrated into National Accounts at the same time as it was being re-organised into sectors. This also happened to be at the time the company was implementing SOXThis was probably the biggest challenge of my career! The result was that my team increased sales 17% increase year on year with the same headcount of 6 National Account Managers without losing any major accounts.During the integration I personally took over and ran the Norwich Union, Yorkshire Building Society & Bradford & Bingley accounts, which needed turning around at the time.I think it's fair to say , that the two years spent on ADT NA , were not the happiest of my career , but I did have a terrific team which was made up of Roy Knight , Jacob Andersen , Tony Hunt , Tony Hayward , Chris Hall and Dave Bridger and I will eternally grateful for all their support.

After probably spending too much time in Territory Sales, I received and excepted an offer to join John Morgan and David Hampson so start a London based office for the reformed ADT High Security Group.This was a very successful and joyful part of my career. Part of that role was to be the Account Manager for Merrill Lynch and during this time I was fortunate enough to work with some great people such as Dave Smith , Mike Millward , Ian Frazer and Phil Connor .
