The company says that he will also be taking an active role in ISC’s NSI Gold award accreditation.

Robert says: I’m very excited about the challenges that lie ahead. ISC are leaders in their market and contracted to secure some of the most iconic buildings in the UK. Their standing in the industry is second to none.”

Robert began his career in operational security in 2001 with Reliance Security. In 2003 moved to First Security to run its control room and communications centre.

After the later purchase of First Security by FTSE250 FM company, Interserve plc, Robert was promoted further to Head of Management Development and Corporate Assurance for the three security businesses within the group before finally making his move to ISC.

Robert said: “I was hugely impressed by the dedication and enthusiasm of the ISC management team throughout the interview process. They place great emphasis in providing a quality service to the client and in looking after their personnel - and I intend to continue this ethos in my new role.”

“Robert is an absolute asset to any company and I am pleased he chose to join our team,” added ISC Managing Director, Pat Carr. “His breadth of industry knowledge and management capability will greatly benefit both ISC and our clients.”
