Security, Intelligence & Defence
Over the past few years there has been an increasing emphasis placed upon intelligence-led and threat related corporate security within most medium to large organisations. The responsibilities and skill sets required of Security Directors within this specialisation are broad and to a certain degree, dependent upon the sector. These would include for example physical, personnel, close protection, compliance, pre-employment screening, crisis management planning, business continuity, disaster recovery, investigative, anti-money laundering, financial crime, identity theft, anti-counterfeiting, anti-activists, supply chain theft, IT security, information protection and travel security.
Peter Woolley OBE DL is the principal consultant in our Security, Intelligence and Defence practice. Following a successful career in the army, which included international, operational and security roles, Peter has been an established headhunter for 11 years: he has an extensive range of security contacts. He has been specialising in assignments associated with corporate security since then and has a particularly thorough knowledge of the evolving requirements of the financial, pharmaceutical, utilities and transport sectors.
