Geoff is currently chairman of The Security Institute, and a life vice-president of ASIS International’s UK Chapter 208.
Geoff remains a long-serving and highly valued member of Security Management Today’s active Editorial Advisory Board. All of us working on the industry’s leading journal for security professionals wish Geoff every success with his new venture.
