For the past six years I have been dividing my time between New Zealand and the Middle East. I am now back in Christchurch to re-establish myself in the security and protection industry with VSO Group. " The difference is professionalism " was my mission statement for October Protection the security company I founded in 2006 and sold in 2014. There was a need in the security industry at this time for a company to raise the bar with a level of professionalism never before seen and I believe we achieved this. October Protection set standards with their dress wearing suits and ties, their PR skills, their training and their overall presentation and professionalism towards their assignments. I am truly proud of what I had achieved with October Protection and the professionalism it had brought to the security industry in New Zealand at the time. But times have changed, standards have slipped and the professionalism has been lowered. VSO Group will return these standards to a higher level with old school values and professionalism making our clients satisfaction paramount.
