Leading security specialist GMS Group has appointed a new Senior Project Engineer to support the commissioning of security systems for new and existing clients.
Dave Williams joined Tividale-based GMS with over 30 years’ experience in the electrical, fire and security sector.
Dave spent the last eight years of his career in a similar role, where he was responsible for overseeing security installation projects for a number of corporate and government contracts.
He brings to GMS a wealth of knowledge and experience of CCTV, intruder, and all major fire alarm systems.
In his role with GMS, Dave will be responsible for providing new and existing clients with tailored security solutions. Dave will oversee the installation, maintenance and commissioning of CCTV, access control, intruder, and fire alarm systems.
Dave said: “GMS is a company with a great reputation, and I have seen them grow substantially in recent years.
“Neil Male is a great leader and his involvement in charities and local good causes was one of the things that attracted me to the role.
“It is an exciting time to join as the business grows. I like new challenges and I hope to use my knowledge and experience to support the growth of existing clients as well as promote GMS to new audiences.”
CEO Neil Male added: “We are delighted to welcome Dave to the team with his wealth of security systems experience.
