  I left Chubb to join BPS in May 2001. This followed a period of turmoil within Chubb, where there was a change of Directors and Managers on a regular basis. Over the period spent in Chubb, most of my Thorn/Magnum colleagues left to pursue different challenges in other companies.When I joined BPS, the company was small in comparison to what I had been used to. The Security Department was small, three engineers and there was no Accreditation with NACOSS. I could see that there would be a future for me in growing the business and used my expertise and knowledge to assist the Directors in expanding the company to become the largest independent Fire & Security business in Northern Ireland.I am proud of what I and the company have achieved and take great satisfaction in knowing that we are the 'go-to' provider for a large number of Electrical Contractors and End Users needing solutions for a comprehensive turn-key package.
