How did you first get involved with Lingwood Security Management?
I was poached! After working with Jo for about 10 years plus at the Visitor office, she called me one day with a lame excuse that she needed help with a spreadsheet, an interview with Alan Snr & Alan Jnr which I was late for at the then Grove Restaurant in Morecambe and the rest they say is history.
What was your first impression of Lingwood Security Management?
Back when I started we were a small team and was treated as one of the family – a close knit team and that remains to this day – 17 years later.

What’s the best/worst thing to happen since you started working at Lingwood Security Management?
I’ve worked in every department and done most roles, so it’s a blessing and a curse as I know most things about our business, which makes me a go-to!
If you could change one thing about Lingwood Security Management, what would it be?
I don’t think I would change anything as for me it is testament to Lingwood Security and what a great place it is to work even still after 17 years.
