Saunders Date

by msecadm4921

John Saunders is leaving the Security Industry Authority (SIA) over Christmas.

The SIA reports that the regulator’s chief executive is to leave the SIA at the end of the year. Andy Drane, currently SIA Deputy Chief Executive, becomes Acting Chief Executive.

In another open letter to the private security industry John said: “In early October I announced my departure from the SIA and my appointment as Managing Director of CIPFA (Chartered Institute of Public Finance & Accountancy). Since then, work has been undertaken in making succession arrangements. This has involved the parallel appointment of the new SIA Chair Baroness Ruth Henig, whose appointment was announced yesterday by the Home Secretary. I have now agreed with the SIA and Home Office to use the Christmas break as a natural break and I will be moving on from the SIA Chief Executive role at the end of December. Andy Drane will be undertaking the SIA Chief Executive role on an interim basis.

“Building and developing the SIA and implementing the regulation has been enormously difficult and demanding, but equally stimulating and immensely rewarding. I am pleased to have contributed, with the industry, to such a productive and positive programme of change. The big challenge, of course, is building on the foundations so that the industry can fulfil its aspirations and achieve the recognition and respect it increasingly deserves.

“I will watch developments and progress from the sidelines with enormous fondness and interest. I wish the SIA, the industry and all stakeholders the very best future”.
