Gareth Storey has joined the security technology and resilience consultancy.
As part of his new role, Storey will be developing the contract management capabilities of the business, which specialises in custodial, defence and aviation projects.
He comes to Ch-q after a board-level role with Reliance High-Tech where he set up an operational division which delivered integrated electronic security solutions for utility, infrastructure and custodial projects.
A spokesman for C-hq said: “Gareth is an electrical engineer by profession and served his apprenticeship in Portsmouth Naval Base. His work on dry land started with project tender, design and management at Drake & Scull.
“From here, he progressed to Chubb Electronic Security where he managed the integrated systems division and was responsible for the design and installation of security systems for a number of PFI new-build prisons.”
Initially, Storey will focus on client-facing programme management for the company. He will also be looking to expand C-hq’s work on transport hubs, following a penetration security audit performed by the company for a major UK airport.
Milestone projects Storey has worked on include biometric access control during the construction phase of the Olympic Park in Stratford, London, and security measures at UK Border Agency facilities in London Gatwick Airport.
