I believe that my extensive business experience, through my role at AD Group and, crucially, my work on industry standards with the BSIA (British Security Industry Association), will prove invaluable in assisting the Board to achieve its aims and objectives."  

Said Linda Sharpe, Interim Chief Executive, Skills for Security: "When we were appointing the Board it was important, as an employer led organization, that this was able to reflect the industry and the real challenges it faces in an evolving security environment.  We were therefore delighted when we were able to have someone of Adam's standing as a Non-Executive Director."
