The electronic fire and security systems installation firm Pointer has appointed Christopher Valentino as Senior Business Development Manager, pictured.
The firm says it has been building its profile across the critical infrastructure and data centre sectors through its specialist fire and security integration, in-house design capability, regional delivery and service support. The company founded in 1972 points to its more than 50 years of experience, 300-plus people internationally and seven UK locations. The firm recently opened a London office.ย
Christopher joins withย experience in the security sector and a remit to support strategic growth and help more organisations access the firm’s integrated fire and security offerings.ย ย
As the firm adds,ย UK data centres now sit at the heart of the country’s digital backbone and are under growing pressure to meet rising expectations around operational continuity and compliance. Pointer’s data centre offering spans perimeter protection, access control, IP video, grey space and white space protection, integrated fire detection, design and maintenance support.
Christopher Valentino said: “Pointer has built its reputation over more than five decades by delivering complex fire and security projects with integrity, technical depth and long-term commitment to its clients. That was a major part of what attracted me to the business.ย Across data centres, critical infrastructure and other high-resilience environments, clients need more than just technology. They need a trusted partner who understands the operational importance of security, safety, compliance, resilience and long-term support.
“I’m excited to be joining Pointer at a pivotal stage in its growth and to be playing a key role in building our London presence, strengthening our position across England, and delivering a focused growth strategy across the data centre, CNI and wider critical environments markets.”
And Stuart Maxwell, Commercial Director at Pointer, said: โChristopherโs appointment is an important step for Pointer. He has quickly embraced the business, building strong relationships with our colleagues, clients and technology partners while developing a clear understanding of the demands within critical environments. Data centres are a key growth area for us, and Christopher is already helping to strengthen our position and engagement across that market.โ
