CIS Security, the London-based security services company and a member of the ACS Pacesetters group of highest-scoring SIA-approved contractors, announces Neill Catton’s promotion to Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This marks a milestone in the company’s continued growth and commitment to excellence within the security services sector, the firm says.
Carl Palmer, Executive Chairman of CIS, pictured left, said: “We are thrilled to announce Neill’s promotion to CEO. Over the years, Neill has been critical to CIS Security’s success, demonstrating exceptional leadership, vision, and a deep understanding of the security landscape. As Managing Director, he played a pivotal role in driving our expansion, enhancing operational efficiency, and ensuring the delivery of top-tier security services to our customers. I have full confidence that under Neill’s leadership, CIS Security will continue to grow and innovate as we prepare for the years ahead.”
This has also given the SE13-based company to promote seven members of the Operations Team. The firm has created two new Managing Directors of Operations and five Operations Directors.
Neill Catton as Managing Director, led the company through periods of significant growth, CIS Security becoming the UK’s sixth-largest provider of security personnel. He was featured in the February 2021 edition of Professional Security Magazine while a chair of the City Security Council, a group of mainly London-based guarding companies.
Neill, pictured right, said: “I am honoured and excited to take on this new role. CIS Security has always prided itself on its people, values, and ability to adapt to the ever-changing security environment. With the support of our brilliant, talented team and unwavering investment from our shareholders, we will build on our successes and continue to lead the way in providing industry-leading cutting-edge security solutions. I would like to add that my title may have changed, but the hands-on, accessible approach to our colleagues and customers will not.”
CIS adds that it will continue to invest in technology, develop colleagues, and maintain its reputation for delivering security solutions across a range of sectors.
Carl Palmer added: “The future of CIS Security is bright, and Neill’s leadership will be a cornerstone of our continued success. We are excited to embark on this new chapter and look forward to achieving even greater heights in the years ahead.”
