A FORMER police crime prevention specialist is one of two new senior appointments at Carlisle guarding firm Northern Security.

Greg Law joins the company at its Upperby offices as regional business development manager.

Mr Law is now Northern Security’s chief sales negotiator in northern England and southern Scotland, and will be liaising with new and existing clients in the public and private sector.

A similar post has also been filled at Northern Security’s recently opened Manchester offices.

Mr Law, who lives in Gretna, has enjoyed a decade-long career in the police service, including five years with the Thames Valley force.

There, he was responsible for advising businesses and organisations on modern security measures to help protect themselves from criminal attack.
