Mitie, the FM contract company, has appointed Lisa Thomas as its director of vetting services. This follows Mitie’s acquisition of Procius, a company offering pre-employment screening and vetting for the aviation and transport sectors.
Lisa, pictured, has held senior HR roles within Mitie. She will also be responsible for UKCRBs, a Mitie-owned vetting body that does Discloure and Barring Service (DBS) and Disclosure Scotland background checks.
Lisa said: “This is a really exciting opportunity for me. I am looking forward to growing Mitie’s vetting services and bringing a comprehensive employee screening and vetting service to our clients. We already have sector specialism in the aviation sector and I plan to mirror this for all sectors.”
Darren Gamage, managing director, technology services, total security management added: “As our employee screening and vetting business grows it’s critical that we have the right person leading the businesses and with Lisa’s strong HR background I know that she will be a great asset. She brings an in depth understanding of both the HR decision maker and employee screening.”
