Integration - the Key to Successful Electronic Security for G4S

01/24/2017 News Articles

Nowadays, no business would ever consider employing under-performing staff or implementing systems that simply meet the requirement. Increasingly customers are seeking out solutions that exceed requirements and contribute to the bottom line.

Management at G4S Electronic Specialised Solutions (ESS) is continually researching, sourcing and in many instances developing technology that will add value for our customers.

Due to the specialized nature of this business, and in line with G4S South Africa expanding the system integration business of their portfolio to enterprise-level integration, Tim Timmins has been appointed as head of technology as of July 2016. Tim has been in South Africa for the past 22 years, but hails from the building systems market in the UK and brings with him a total of 30 years’ experience in consultancy, integration and the distribution sides of the security industry.
