New commercial director aims for sector dominance for fire and security company

A fire prevention and security solutions company is embarking on a new chapter of growth and innovation under the leadership of a new commercial director.

Brynmenyn-based SECUREIT has hired experienced former International Finance Director Mike Gahan to oversee the company’s commercial performance.

Prior to joining SECUREIT, the experienced finance executive and private equity investor had a successful career in finance and M&A, having been the chief financial officer for several profitable companies in the UK and internationally. His expertise extends beyond corporate finance, having invested in and managed several companies through various stages of growth. He recently ran his own property development company in Gwent and is building his own bespoke country family home, alongside investing in business angels and supporting ambitious business owners.

Mike joins SECUREIT as part-time commercial director. He said:

“I have used SECUREIT for a number of personal and business projects and found the owner Philip Popham and the team to be great people to work with. When Philip came forward and asked for my help to grow the business I was delighted to get involved as I could see the huge potential for this quality operation to expand.”

As the newly appointed commercial director, his responsibilities are divided between strategy, finance, sales and operations. He has stated that his primary goal is to ensure that the company has a solid foundation for growth:

Mike said:

“My main task is to ensure that the company has a solid platform for sustainable, profitable growth and that we can truly offer our customers the best service. At the same time, I advise Philip and the SECUREIT management team on how to successfully grow and expand.

“I have successfully grown businesses, acquired companies and created significant value additions. I can help the team of industry certified CCTV, Fire and Security Solutions professionals create a growth strategy and ensure we successfully achieve our mid to long term goals.

“I want the company to grow into the largest provider of fire and security solutions in South Wales. Within the next five years I want the company to not only become the largest provider of fire prevention, CCTV, monitoring and security installations in the region, but also to be recognised as a major national service provider.”
