\"\"<\/p>\n

What is your current role and how did you get there?<\/strong>\u00a0 I am currently the Managing Director for CIS Security and have worked here for 16 years.\u00a0 I started my career with Group 4 as their youngest Security Officer at the time in 1989. After six years front line work I seeked promotion and started to move through the ranks of Operations, Account Management, Business Management, Operations Director.\u00a0 I have had some great learning experiences at large, medium and very small companies throughout my career.\u00a0 I have taken what I feel have been some of the best aspects from all of these experiences.<\/p>\n

Why did you first join the security industry, and why did you carry on?<\/strong>\u00a0 I was stacking shelves at Safeway supermarket and read a newspaper article looking for Security Officers.\u00a0 It looked exciting and although the hours were long, the money was good.\u00a0 I always had an interest in the military but never made the move as I enjoyed being with my friends at the weekend and playing football too much.\u00a0 \u00a0I continued in Security as I did enjoy the role, being responsible for high value locations and protecting people appealed to me.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0If I hadn\u2019t been promoted maybe I would have looked outside but once I made it into Management I was hooked for life!<\/p>\n

What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 Along the way I have had some very good managers, \u00a0but equally those where my face didn\u2019t fit, \u00a0or where promotion was still based on length of service rather than ability.\u00a0 Try hard for people to recognise your worth but sometimes you have to move on to move upwards.<\/p>\n

What advice would you give anything thinking about joining the security industry today<\/strong>?\u00a0 I would urge new applicants to look beyond Security Officer and think Security Manager, Business Manager, Account Director.\u00a0 It\u2019s the same as any other business, \u00a0work hard, never give up, \u00a0take on responsibility and take control of your destiny.<\/p>\n

Who do you think would suit or enjoying working in the security industry<\/strong>? Anyone, if you enjoy working with people have a protective nature.<\/p>\n
