The crowd management and event security contractor Showsec reports that it is expanding its operation again at the start of 2015, in the Manchester area.
The firm has restructured to create two distinct geographical areas in a new-look Manchester office. The new operational areas sit either side of the inner city ring road – Central Manchester inside, and Greater Manchester outside.
This follows a similar restructure made last year when Showsec’s London office was divided into three areas.
Mark Wilcock, Area Manager for Manchester in the old set-up, takes on responsibility for Greater Manchester, while Tom Bailey is the latest graduate of the company’s Management Development Programme to be promoted to Area Manager for Central Manchester. Pictured left to right are Tom Bailey; Alan Wallace, Showsec’s Regional Manager in the North; and Mark Wilcock.
The restructure also means two graduates from the most recent module of the Management Development Programme have now been appointed as Operations Executives.
Alan Wallace said: “This is an exciting development which reflects the continued growth of the Company and the important part which the expansion of the Manchester operation has played in that progress. It is crucial that we maintain high standards of service so that we not only manage the expectations of our clients, but more often than not exceed them wherever possible.
“The structure of the Manchester office has become more expansive to meet demand, so after a period of consultation, we considered that this was the best way forwards. The Management Development Programme has created a strong infrastructure which enables us to promote from within when making these changes.
“We are delighted therefore that Tom Bailey has taken this next step up the ladder into senior management after making such an important contribution at the Manchester Arena, while Mark Wilcock will continue his excellent work since becoming an Area Manager.
“The value of the company’s commitment to helping individuals fulfil their potential and progress along a career path is further underlined by the fact two recent MDP graduates, Axel Fernandes and Christopher Hudson, are taking up Operation Executive roles in the new structure.”
