SGC Security Services has announced the appointment of Simon Anderson as Commercial Director, effective 1 November 2025, marking a strategic addition to the company’s senior leadership team.

Paul Macarthur, Founder and CEO of SGC Security Services, said:
“Simon’s extensive sector knowledge, strategic approach to client partnerships, and commitment to service excellence align perfectly with SGC’s values and ambitious growth plans.

He also reflected on the wider goals of the company:
“The biggest challenge that we face is ensuring that we not only set the standards for our brand but also for the security industry. We must ensure that our operational model gives each security officer the best support, training and equipment to maximize the investment made and to provide a secure and safe environment for all. The everyday challenge of monitoring service levels, supporting our front-line colleagues and continually striving to be the best must be at the forefront of everything that we do.”
