Ward Security appoints Steve Kennedy as managing director for London

The company’s London business unit has successfully grown to become a £40 million-plus revenue segment, duly delivering first-class security for a diverse range of high-risk, high-profile and iconic locations, places and assets.

Kennedy joins Ward Security armed with a wealth of experience and skills that span various sectors, rendering him a valuable addition to a growing business.

The company flourished under his leadership, specialising in the security sector, Health and Safety, accreditation management and business development.

Through time, Kennedy has gained expertise in developing new contracts and establishing strong relationships, while his proficiency in accreditation management, auditing and security solutions for List X-accredited Data Centres further solidifies his credentials.

Commenting on his new role, Kennedy told Security Matters: “I’m delighted to now be part of this fantastic company and I’m very much looking forward to working with the dedicated team of security officers, account managers and support staff who have made Ward Security what it is today. To take on the role of managing director for the London portfolio and to have the opportunity to influence and grow this already successful segment of the business is a challenge that really excites me.”
