The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has appointed Paul Phillips to the position of Technical Manager, following six successful years as the Association’s Technical Officer.

With 20 years’ experience in the security industry, Paul’s previous appointments include technical positions within Cooper Security and Elmdene. Paul joined the BSIA in 2009 as Technical Officer and has since contributed to the Association’s growing presence on British and European standards development committees. Paul’s professional experience is underpinned by a solid academic background, having completed a Master’s Degree in Security and Risk Management at Leicester University.

Paul has been promoted to the position of Technical Manager following the appointment of David Wilkinson as Director of Technical Services, which was announced in January.

Commenting on his appointment, Paul says: “I am pleased to be promoted to the position of Technical Manager, and look forward to making a further contribution to delivering a quality service to BSIA members, while meeting the numerous technical challenges that continue to be faced by the security industry in general.”

David Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services, adds: “I am delighted to be able to appoint Paul as Technical Manager for BSIA. Paul has made valuable contributions to the technical services we provide to members over the last six years and this appointment is well deserved. I am confident Paul will excel in his new position and look forward to working with him on the many challenges that lie ahead in the security industry.”

As a result of Paul’s promotion, the BSIA is now actively recruiting for a new Technical Officer, which represents an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, self-motivated technical professional to work as part of a dedicated team providing a wide range of advice and guidance to BSIA members on a number of technical issues relating to electronic alarm systems, physical security and manned guarding services
