AURA UK, a security technology company focused on on-demand security response services, has appointed Andy Fort as Operations Director.
Fort joined the company during a period of UK expansion as it scales its on-demand security response network, providing residential and commercial customers with access to assistance services.
In his new role, Fort will oversee AURA’s UK operational performance, with responsibility for delivery standards, efficiency, and reliability. He will also support the development of operational processes as the company expands within the UK security and emergency response sector.
“At AURA, operational excellence is fundamental to everything we do,” said Alex Booth, Managing Director at AURA UK. “As demand for our services grows across the country, it is essential that we continue to strengthen the systems, partnerships, and processes that ensure fast, reliable response for our users.”
“Andy brings extensive experience leading large-scale security operations in complex environments, as well as a strong track record in driving performance, improving standards, and effective operational delivery. He will be instrumental in helping us maintain and raise those standards as we scale.”
Fort has worked in the security sector for 15 years, with experience of operational leadership and business development. Prior to joining AURA, he was CEO at ADMI, where he led business operations and growth. He has also held senior positions at WS Insight, where he was responsible for security operations across East and Central Africa. Earlier in his career, he worked in Intelligence & Security at the UK Ministry of Defence.
Commenting on his appointment, Fort said: “I’m really pleased to be joining AURA at such a pivotal point in its UK growth. What stood out to me immediately is the very real problem AURA is solving; improving access to fast, reliable emergency response through smart, practical use of technology.”
“My focus is on making sure we deliver consistently for the people who rely on us. That means strengthening how we operate day to day, working closely with our partners, and holding ourselves to the highest standards as we scale. Growth is important, but it has to come with reliability, accountability, and a service people can trust every time.”
Booth added: “Andy’s appointment significantly strengthens our operational capability in the UK. His experience managing complex security operations and driving performance across large teams will be invaluable as we continue to scale.”
“His focus on standards, structure, and delivery aligns closely with our mission to ensure people can access help quickly and reliably when they need it most.”
