Work Experience

Managing Director Regal Security Systems Ltd
(November 1996 – December 2001)

In 1994 my consultancy company was contracted, by an American client, to restructure their UK security company - Regal Security. This was successfully accomplished and I was subsequently asked to remain with, and develop the company as Managing Director, for the client. I have subsequently sold the company on behalf of the client at his retirement

Regal Security Systems Ltd is a London based, NACOSS approved, company with additional regional offices near Bath and Doncaster. The company provides a national, 24hr/365day service for the installation, maintenance, remote monitoring, and repair of some 25,000 contracted client systems.

The company has a national remote monitoring station (ARC – alarm receiving centre). The ARC provides remote monitoring and response services for over 200 independent alarm companies as well as the Regal clients. There are in excess of 20,000 remote systems connected to the centre. Response is provided to ACPO and NACOSS requirements and is available 24 hours per day, every day. Regal Security Systems Ltd employs around 75 staff.

All IT systems have been networked, upgraded, integrated, and expanded over the last 4 years. This included the integration of all divisions and offices within the company for both hardware and software.

The company was privately owned. Turnover doubled in the last 5 years, this has been achieved by both acquisition and organic growth.

I have also acted as Director of 2 other Regal Companies plus AIJ Security Ltd and Standfast Security Ltd
