Following a period of significant growth certified social enterprise and experts in specialist security services, Corps Security, has appointed a new National Account Director and a new Operations Director to ensure efficient service delivery across Corps’s new major contract wins.
Mark Taylor has been appointed National Account Director at Corps, supporting major accounts including the portfolio for global commercial real estate services and investment firm CBRE. Taylor brings over 20 years of extensive experience working at a senior level within international security companies and has been responsible for national accounts across corporate and retail environments.
In this new role, Taylor brings additional support to the Corps national account team, providing flexibility to restructure in support of future growth, to focus on significant contract wins and engage with the supplier’s diverse requirements.
Speaking about his new appointment, Taylor said: “I’m delighted to join Corps Security and looking forward to meeting my colleagues and clients. My focus will be ensuring our relationships flourish and our accounts develop in line with our long-term strategy.”
This appointment coincides with an internal promotion for Ken Fissenden from National Account Manager to Operations Director. Fissenden will facilitate one of the largest client account wins in Corps’s history. His role will include reviewing how Corps can introduce their blended approach of people and tech to drive efficiencies in the client’s security provision. Corps carefully manages the number of officers required on larger contracts, in turn allowing money to be reinvested to support increased wages and encourage retention across the business.
With excellent experience in distribution, Fissenden’s role will ensure the smooth day-to-day operation for the new major contract, leading a team of managers and administrative staff to support the overall delivery for a client with substantial and exacting requirements. Fissenden will also be managing the smooth integration of TUPE’d staff from the previous supplier, into the Corps family.
Fissenden commented: “I’m excited to take on this new role supporting what is the largest client in Corps history. I’m confident that working together, we will be highly successful in the service.”
Managing Director at Corps Security, Paul Lotter added: “We’re delighted to welcome Mark Taylor to Corps Security and to have Ken Fissenden as Operations Director. We pride ourselves on building outstanding relationships with all our clients, part of which is investing in the right people who will see these relationships flourish.”
While some personnel are finally returning to the office – the great majority of organisations (up to 83 per cent) anticipate a hybrid mix of on-premises and working from home to continue for the foreseeable future.
This means that when it comes to providing access to the workplace, where once it was simply enough to maintain a welcoming reception for visitors, organisations today must also keep a close eye on access permissions in real-time to keep buildings safe and secure while ensuring they comply with compliance.
Pitney Bowes Smart Access Management in association with FMJ has produced a new White Paper which explains how to create a welcoming, actively managed environment for authorised people.
It explains how new Smart Access Management™ (SAM) delivers a complete, real-time and data-driven view of all your people, visitors and contractors, to help give you greater control and visibility.
