x RISKXtra Appointments Ashley Almanza G4S Group’s CEO Ashley Almanza has been announced as the new chair of the International Security Ligue, an association of private security organisations responsible for defining, establishing and maintaining the highest ethical and professional standards within the private security industry worldwide. The International Security Ligue was founded in 1934. Its registered offices are based in Berne, Switzerland. Maintaining the highest ethical and professional standards across the private security industry has been achieved through the very open and cordial exchange of ideas and experiences between member companies, all of whom are leading businesses in the countries whom they represent. The International Security Ligue is now represented on all continents and in 34 nations. As a mark of the high esteem in which the Ligue is held across the globe, it’s represented in a consultative capacity as a non-Governmental organisation at the United Nations and within the European Common Market. Almanza commented: “With more than two million staff providing security and related services in over 120 countries, members of the International Security Ligue play a vital role, contributing to the security and safety of people and assets all over the world. To be successful, we must employ the very best people, apply effective screening and training and meet or exceed the requirements of both national and international laws as well as ethical standards.” Almanza concluded: “Our goal has to be to eradicate injuries and fatalities across our industry. It’s an appropriate goal.” Appointments Risk Xtra keeps you up-to-date with all the latest people moves in the security, fire, IT and Government sectors Simon Banks The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) is pleased to welcome Simon Banks, Group managing director of CSL, as its new chairman. The announcement was made at the British Security Awards Ceremony, held at the London Marriott Hotel in Grosvenor Square on 11 July. Banks brings with him a wealth of industry knowledge gained through a highly successful career. He co-founded the CSL Group (formerly CSL DualCom) back in 1996 to manufacture security and communications products for the security and fire sectors and, in the intervening period, has built the business to become a global provider of connectivity solutions. Banks will now be leading the BSIA’s Board, comprising of 15 Membership Section head directors, in responding to advancing technology and changing attitudes towards securing peoples’ lives and property. Speaking about his new appointment, Banks explained to Risk Xtra: “With so many new opportunities on offer, there has never been a better time to engage with the Trade Association. The entire security value chain should welcome, adopt and promote new technologies rather than allow competing verticals to invade our sector. Standards and competence underpin our industry and they should never be compromised. Active participation in the BSIA ensures that we all remain a relevant and competitive force with key technologies and skills.” Gary Stanton Axis Group, the integrated security and cleaning services business, has promoted Gary Stanton to the newly-created role of Group commercial director as part of bold restructuring plans specifically designed to focus the organisation on long-term growth and profitability. Stanton will now manage both the commercial security and cleaning teams, which are to be aligned into a single department. This move reflects the increasing success that the Group is having in delivering its services as an integrated contract offer. With over 14 years’ experience in the industry, Stanton joined Axis Security back in December 2009. He was promoted to the role of commercial director in 2015. In his new role, Stanton will report directly to Jonathan Levine, the Group’s CEO, who’s looking forward to working closely with him. “I’m pleased to welcome Gary into this new position and wish him well in the role,” observed Levine. “We’ve already begun to see the success of the Group’s commercial team with the centralisation of all Bid Writing functions, and we believe these changes can lead to further success and achievement in relation to our commercial aims. For his part, Gary harbours exceptional experience both within our industry generally and also across the Axis Group, which makes him the ideal choice for this new role within the company.” 67 www.riskxtra.com>
