Alastair McLeod, Veracity Group CEO, pictured, said: “Geoff has a terrific sales track record with major video surveillance manufacturers and is well-known and highly respected throughout our industry. He will be yet another huge asset to our team and we are all really excited about Geoff joining us, as he can take us into a whole new range of projects and customers due to his background and experience.
“We’ll be launching a lot of new products in 2016 within all three areas of transmission, storage and display. We are looking forward to another year of strong growth, with surveillance storage shaping up to be the key growth area for us.”
Gritton’s appointment compliments Peter McKee who was recently appointed as Director of Business Development for Europe. Veracity is also in the final stages of hiring two extra staff for its engineering team and another member for both its sales support and design teams.
