Evolution, the integrated fire and security systems business, has continued its growth with three new senior appointments to its leadership team.
John Baillie has been promoted to the role of Sales Director EMEA, and will now be responsible for managing and leading all of the business's sales operations across the UK, Ireland, and the Netherlands. John joined Evolution in 2008 to head up its business operation in Scotland, and was promoted to UK Sales Manager in 2019.
Major sales activities
Keir Jones has been promoted to Operations Director for the UK and the Netherlands, responsible for overseeing continued growth within the Operations and ICTS divisions of the business. Keir initially joined Evolution in 2016 as a Project Manager, before being promoted to ICTS Operations Manager in 2020.
After joining the business in 2012 as an Engineer, Jake has continued to impress and rise through the ranks
Jake Rackham has also been promoted to Commercial Director. After joining the business in 2012 as an Engineer, Jake has continued to impress and rise through the ranks, earning promotions to Project Manager and Area Sales Manager within five years, before becoming Head of ICTS in 2020.
In his new role, Jake will continue to lead all commercial activities and projects, and will also work closely with John and Keir on all major sales activities throughout the group businesses.
Converting new opportunities
Earlier this year, Evolution announced details of its new Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), which has seen its staff become majority owners of the business.
Richard Lambert, Managing Director at Evolution, says these new appointments reflect its ongoing commitment to its people: “Since joining the business, John, Keir, and Jake have all impressed with their dedication, determination, and drive, as well as their ability to create and convert new opportunities that have helped us achieve our ambitions.”
He adds, “I am proud and pleased to welcome them to the senior leadership team. As we move towards a new chapter in the Evolution history, they will each play a key role in supporting us in continuing to grow the success of the business for the benefit of all our employees.”
