Tony Girard has been appointed Managing Director of Bavak PAS Ltd, the new joint venture between Bavak BV and ParkSecure that is bringing a new range of perimeter security and access control technologies to installers and end-users throughout the UK and Ireland.

Tony has extensive experience in the physical security sector having been formerly Managing Director of Gunnebo Physical Security and APT Security Systems. His early career was spent in sales for Hewlett Packard and Schlumberger, having originally started as a student apprentice at the Ministry of Defence.

In 2007 he formed his own business, Parksecure, as a consultant on specialist security projects, and was instrumental in engineering the joint venture with the Dutch security group Bavak BV which already has a large installed-base Europe-wide, with gates, barriers and blockers protecting a number of high profile military and government sites.

Tony says that he is already enjoying the challenge. "In teaming with ParkSecure and creating Bavak PAS Ltd, the purpose is to extend the range of products and technologies available, enhance local service and maintenance support, and introduce new bespoke services," he says.
