SECUREIT, a prominent fire prevention and security solutions company in south Wales, is celebrating a transformative year of growth, innovation, and expansion.

The company, known for its expertise in fire prevention and CCTV security solutions, made strategic boardroom appointments last financial year to drive its ambitious growth plans. With the addition of Dylan Matthews as Non-Executive Director and Newport based Mike Gahan as Commercial Director, SECUREIT has strengthened its leadership team and is already seeing the benefits of these significant C-suite appointments.

Managing Director, Philip Popham, reflected on the achievements driven by the new board members: “This past year has been transformational for SECUREIT. The strategic appointments we made have brought fresh expertise and energy to our leadership team, enabling us to expand into new markets, introduce innovative products, and reach more customers across the UK. We are proud of what we have achieved and remain committed to delivering the highest standards of security solutions.”

Innovation has been at the heart of SECUREIT’s success, with the launch of new security products including Video Alarm System Pods (VASP) and solar towers. These advanced surveillance solutions offer clients more sustainable, efficient, and reliable security options, further cementing SECUREIT’s reputation as an industry leader.

Dylan Matthews, non-executive director, highlighted the company’s long-term vision:

“SECUREIT is well-positioned for continued success. The investments we’ve made in people, technology, and infrastructure provide a strong foundation for further growth. The momentum we’ve built over the last year will propel us forward as we continue to evolve and expand.”

One of the major achievements of the past year has been SECUREIT’s successful expansion into the education security sector. With increasing demand for advanced security solutions in schools, colleges, and universities, SECUREIT has tailored its expertise to provide robust protection for educational institutions.

Mike Gahan, Commercial Director, commented on the company’s upward trajectory:

“Our growth has been driven by a clear strategy, focusing on customer needs, innovation, and operational excellence. Expanding into the education sector, in particular, has been a significant milestone, allowing us to make a real difference in safeguarding  the pupils, parents and staff of Rougemont School.”

Over the past 12 months, SECUREIT has made significant investments in upgrading its technology, ensuring that clients benefit from the latest advancements in CCTV and fire prevention systems. The company has also appointed an experienced sales director and expanded its vehicle fleet, allowing for improved service delivery and responsiveness to customer needs across the UK.

In addition to sectoral growth, the company has also expanded its geographical reach significantly. SECUREIT’s presence now stretches from Chester in the north to Torquay in the south, and from Carmarthen in the west to London in the east. This expansion has allowed the company to support more clients with its cutting-edge security solutions across a broader area.
