On board at biometrics installer

by Mark Rowe

Jim Slevin, Aviation Managing Director of the biometrics installer Human Recognition Systems (HRS), has been appointed to the company’s board.

HRS has enabled UK airports such as London Gatwick, Edinburgh and London City Airport to apply intelligent criteria to both staff and passengers, with Jim Slevin playing a key role for HRS in the aviation industry. The Merseyside-based firm says the board appointment will ensure representation of HRS’ aviation business unit which is a key element of the company’s strategy.

Jim spent more than 20 years working within the aviation sector in a range of technical and management roles, including Group Security Risk and Identity Manager at BAA. He became Aviation Managing Director at HRS in 2013 after five years as the company’s Transport Business Development Manager and Aviation Business Unit Manager.

Jim Slevin says: “My appointment recognises the growth of the aviation division of our business at HRS and how important this sector is for the company going forward. Ensuring the right person, with the right capabilities, is in the right place at the right time is absolutely critical to the aviation sector and our vision of a future airport that offers an end-to-end biometric passenger experience is key to achieving this. As such, my role on the board provides me with the perfect platform through which to drive this activity forward.”

Company founder Neil Norman has been re-appointed as HRS’ Chief Executive.

“Neil Norman’s passionate and committed character is a very positive influence on the company and I’m pleased to now be working at board level alongside him,” adds Jim Slevin. “Through my appointment there is now a balanced set of dynamics on the board and a complementary set of skills and knowledge that we share between us. It’s a pleasure and a privilege to be invited to join such a dedicated team.”
