Milestone Systems, an open platform community in internet protocol (IP) video management software (VMS), has announced the appointment of Neil Killick as its new Country Manager for UK and Ireland. As Milestone Systems extends its global reach and influence, Killick will ensure that it remains at the cutting-edge of security technology provision in these important regions.

Previous work experience

Having enjoyed highly successful roles in distribution, sales, and business development within the security industry, Killick has spent the majority of his career so far with Honeywell, which he initially joined in 2000. Working extensively within distribution with ADI, a Honeywell company, he eventually rose to the position of Europe & Africa Sales Leader at Honeywell Security—a position he held for over three years.

“My career has provided me with a great deal of insight into the supply chain and the specific needs of end users, consultants, and systems integrators,” commented Killick. “It’s this experience that has given me an excellent level of commercial awareness and understanding, and I’m looking forward to using these attributes at Milestone Systems. We have a massive opportunity in the UK and Ireland, given the excellence of the technology that we consistently develop.”
