One of the UK’s fastest-growing security businesses, Axis Security is renowned for providing high-level security at a number of prestigious sites in the North East, including Rolls Royce, Goodman and Komatsu (as recently featured on SMT Online).
In his new role, David Asquith assumes responsibility for the supervision, management and general day-to-day running of all contracts, ultimately maintaining the high levels of service the Axis ethos is built upon.
Operating from the recently opened Newcastle branch, Asquith reports directly to Richard Jemson, the national operations director.
His initial task has been to retain existing key customers during tough economic conditions, and at the same time attract new business.
“My first priority has been to keep raising the already impressive profile of Axis Security in the North East” Asquith told SMT Online. “We are competing with the major players for contracts, and I feel that prospective customers are now becoming aware of who we are and what we stand for.”
Asquith continued: “The economy in the North East is on the up, so there are a growing number of contracts out there for which we’re in a position to tender. We’ve already been successful on several fronts and, while it isn’t an easy challenge, it’s one I’m very much looking forward to.”
Orginally from Barnsley, Asquith now lives in Northumberland.
