Changes and new appointments in senior management at the Securitas Group came into effect on 1 July 2001. As a result, the entire company will undergo logical and success-oriented changes at the top. The appointment of Patrick Yenni as the new Head of UB A&S is crucial for Securiton.
Thanks to the dedicated work required as a result of the rapid development of the Securitas Group and the market, time has certainly flown by. In recent years, we have not only been joined by new subsidiaries such as Schrack Seconet (A) and WSH (D) – parent companies and long-standing joint ventures have also taken some decisive steps. As the saying goes, pain and pleasure – or in our case, success and farewell – are never far apart.
Current challenges such as prisoner transport, the new company Securitrans, professional recognition and industry contracts have been overcome or are on the right track. The Securitas Group also wants to tackle future tasks on the basis of stability and consistency. This applies to the overall management, the Services division and the Alarm and Security Systems division.
