International Airport Review Magazine introduces Steven Thompson to the Aviation Advisory Board. Steven, the Specialized Protective Services Development Manager, for Securitas UK, is responsible for development of the company’s offering within the aviation services sector.

Unparalleled Knowledge

Steven brings unparalleled expertise to the role, having held senior positions in both the UK and abroad. His focus on security contingency and public services infrastructure protection includes border control, transportation, and construction, and he has managed both day-to-day operations and contingency mobilization support during industrial action in both the private and public sectors—including transport for London. He has become highly respected in the Specialized Protective Services sector for providing robust, short notice contingency resilience deployments and solutions.

Vast Experience

His experience in aviation, maritime, canine, fire and safety is expected to prove invaluable in further enhancing Securitas’ expertise in these areas.

Steven commented, “Airports - and especially sites of significant interest—need to focus on more diverse resilience plans which incorporate infrastructure and security failure. They should also have the ability to deploy a robust strike resilience action plan during industrial unrest or unforeseen establishment shortfall such as pandemic flu or other sickness. Securitas’ risk-based approach will prove particularly effective under such circumstances and I very much look forward to helping develop our solutions.”
