He has strong group reporting, process and control skills developed whilst at the prestige motor dealer, Sytner Group. Nick qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Tenon in Nottingham, before joining KPMG.

"Glenn has made a significant contribution over the last 3 and a half years as CFO as we transitioned the business from stand-alone bus CCTV & IT systems installation, and through the acquisition of Region Services Limited, to a broader more technically-agile smart integration business. Glenn will continue to play an important role with us going forward; providing a seamless transition and continued access to his business & organisational development skills. We have now commenced the next stage in the Company's development from our new Head Offices opened in January this year in Ashby and I would like to extend a very warm welcome to Nick as he joins the senior team".
