Cannon Appoints Technical Director

Pete comes from a background of almost twenty years in the Fire and Security Industry and will be an incredible asset to our Group Companies, ARM Secure and Boundary Gate and Barrier.

Background

Pete has almost 20 years experience in Security and Emergency Systems, commencing his career as an apprentice with Chubb Security and completing an Advanced Modern Apprenticeship.

During his career he has build up 12 years of management experience ranging from projects and installations of fire and security systems to board level roles with a focus on compliance, process improvement and governance, customer experience improvement, revenue and profit growth, business turnaround and business and divisional start ups.

Whilst working within the Security Industry, Pete completed a Bachelor of Science (Open) with the Open University with focus on business, economics, management and information technology (including Cisco CCNA and CCNP, coding and software development).

Pete is a valued committee member of the Fire and Security Association, an active member of the Institute of Engineering and Technology and member of the Institute of Directors, the Institute of Leadership and Management, Institute of Fire Safety Managers and Security Institute.

Pete also prides himself on being a mentor to developing individual talent within the industry and hopes to expand his mentoring opportunities to “do my bit in improving talent within the Fire and Security Industry”.

Pete also brings significant experience in leveraging technology to improve efficiency, profitability and customer experience, including the development and implementation of bespoke applications.

Tell us more…

Pete lives in Mansfield with his young family and loves his work that much that he deems it a hobby! His spare time is spent with his family and completing DIY around the house – lockdown projects were a garage conversion and 60m2 of raised decking!

What do you love to do in your spare time?

I love spreadsheets, databases and visual basic coding! I also enjoy volunteering; I am a member of the Mansfield Rotary and I’m actively involved in community activities. I have previously been a secretary and chairman of CrimeStoppers local committees and a trustee of NottsWatch and also Nottinghamshire Neighbourhood Watch.

We are so thrilled to have Pete on our team and we are looking forward to what he can bring to the group for 2022.
