Managing Director VIT Innovation Ltd. & VIT Consultancy Ltd. Dave formed the VIT Group in 2002 drawing on his military background and work within the covert and overt security fields. Dave brought together several contacts that he had known and worked with to build the foundations of Vault-IT (later to become the VIT Group). Dave's background in integrated electronic security and surveillance saw him managing projects for organisations like Amerada Hess HQ in London, The Houses of Parliament London, Coca Cola UK, London Air Traffic Control Centre, Heathrow Airport Control Tower, Sumitomo Trading and other blue chip companies.
Responsible for the overall direction of the VIT group, Dave is most comfortable as an ideas man and innovator, his main strength being the translation of the customers exacting (and sometimes challenging) requirements into world beating security solutions. |
