Wainman joins VSG from Reed Managed Services, where he worked for sixteen years, most recently holding the position of strategic development director.
“Although the businesses of VSG and Reed may at first sight appear to be very different there is, in fact, a lot of synergy between the services provided by the two organisations,” Wainman said, “which means that my skills and experience will be directly relevant and immediately useful in my new role.
“Both organisations, for example, provide people-based services, supported by state of the art technology and solutions led services that add real value and tangible benefit to our customers. Both are also heavily involved with companies that are looking to drive quality and performance by outsourcing non-core business as a key part of their strategy”.
Growth plans
In his new role, Wainman will be responsible for augmenting and implementing VSG’s growth plans and, in particular, taking the company’s existing services into new markets.
He will be placing special emphasis on strengthening and promoting the company’s holistic approach to security, which aims to offer client benefits in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and economy.
“We are really excited about having Martin on board,” said Leon Barwell, VSG’s commercial director. “The skills that he brings to this role complement perfectly those of the existing members of our management team, and we are confident that Martin will help us to achieve great things in the future, both for our business and for our clients.”
Wainman said: “With VSG I see nothing but opportunities. The company is at a very exciting stage in its development – it has already achieved so much, including a listing in the recent Sunday Times PricewaterhouseCoopers Profit Track 100 league table for 2009.
Given the company’s expertise, experience and strong foundations and the market demand for a high quality total security solutions provider, there is enormous potential for further success”.
