Cardinal Security, a provider of dynamic and innovative security solutions, announced a new high profile appointment to its senior management team in the form of Graham Allison. A well-known and respected industry figure, 47-year-old Allison will act as Cardinal Security’s Commercial Director, with a view to positioning it as the first-choice security services provider.

Commercial and retail sector experience

Allison has been in the security industry for over 20 years and joins Cardinal Security from Sentinel Group Security, where he was Chief Operating Officer for over three years. Prior to that he was Retail Relationship Director with Mitie Security and, having also worked for Securitas Security Services and Reliance Security Services, Allison brings extensive knowledge of the commercial and retail sectors to his new role. Allison will promote the unique advantages of using Cardinal Security’s specialist services to organisations across the country and focus on the development of new opportunities in line with the company’s strategic growth plan.

“My career has provided me with a great deal of insight into the specific security needs of customers in a diverse array of vertical sectors and environments – in particular retail and logistics,” commented Allison. “It’s this experience that has given me an excellent level of commercial awareness and understanding, and I’m looking forward to using these attributes at Cardinal Security, which has a forward-thinking vision and is dedicated to providing services of unrivalled quality. I believe the company sets an industry benchmark for its intelligent guarding concept, which does away with the traditional customer denial model and integrates the duties of a security officer with technology, electronic systems and the data produced.”
