The outsourced services firm MITIE has appointed Jason Towse as its new regional managing director for London in its Total Security Management (TSM) business. Jason will also hold the role of retail director for the business using his experience to develop relationships for the firm in this sector.
Jason has had a 16-year career in the security industry. The 42-year old joins from Securitas where he was account director for Sainsbury’s. Jason began his security career with his own company, offering retail detective services. He then progressed to working for various private security companies, working on their retail contracts.
Jason joined Chubb in 2001, taking several roles including operations director, commercial director, head of retail, and managing director for aviation. He transferred to Securitas during the firm’s acquisition in 2011.
Bob Forsyth, managing director of MITIE TSM said: “We are very pleased to be welcoming Jason with his senior experience of running regional businesses and his in-depth knowledge of the retail sector.”
Jason said: “I am delighted to be joining MITIE to develop its London region and opportunities in the retail sector. MITIE offers a unique approach to its customers through innovative thinking and efficient solutions, with no compromise – a must for today’s environment.”
MITIE says that its TSM business takes a risk-based approach to the provision and management of all security services, delivered through one management team to achieve cost and resource efficiencies. MITIE says that it sees the future of security being technology-driven.
