PROFESSIONAL BIOFounder, owner, and an active MD. Royal Marines Commando Reservist. Trustee. Board Member.I love my job, love the team I work with, love my customers. I love helping others when I can.Please all stop trying to buy my company – I get an offer most weeks - it’s not for sale.When I founded FGH Security it was to keep people safe. Safety before profits. My personal values and my company values are intertwined. Serving others (Keeping People Safe and Looking after the Team), training others (Giving Something Back), ongoing development, R&D and cutting-edge management techniques (Be Great Today. Better Tomorrow) - they all rank higher than profit!Our team lives by these values. We work hard to change the face of our industry, constantly improving ourselves and also sharing best practices across security and crowd management - on a global scale. I will still work as a security manager occasionally, but my focus now is on the development of others and the ongoing growth of the organisation – I am mainly working on a rolling 5-year plan or our international deployments.I received a BSc (Honours) and an MBA, both from Lancaster University, and am one of the few civilians in the UK with academic qualifications in both Crowd Safety Management and Counter-Terrorism Risk Management Planning.We have three guarantees on our service that we know we are the best in the world at:1/ Friendly Customer Service Security,2/ The Best Industry Training and a Learning Culture,3/ A Scientific Approach – innovation and improvement.PERSONAL BIOHappily married with two amazing little girls running about.Trying to climb the highest mountain in every country in the world – slowly getting there.Ran many marathons and once a 72-mile ultra.
