Frank Crouwel

Managing Director, NW Systems Group

Originally from a legal consultancy background, Frank has been involved with the CCTV industry since 1999. As managing director of CCTV equipment manufacturer Charles Grant Ltd, Frank turned a loss-making company into a rapidly expanding and profitable firm within the space of two years. During this period Frank sealed OEM contracts with leading manufacturers Panasonic, Axis Communications, Vicon Industries and GE Interlogix. He secured a €1,2m EU subsidy for the company's R&D programme and successfully led the resulting project partnership involving high-tech companies from five different EU countries. In 2003, Frank joined Scottish-based IP video company Evolve as Business Development Manager to oversee the firm's expansion UK wide. It was at Evolve where Frank met Robert and Kevin, which resulted in the inception of today's NW Systems Group. Frank has a track record of implementing successful strategies within the security industry and is broadly skilled in the area of IP-based video monitoring, security and management systems. Within NW Frank's main focus is on strategic partnerships, marketing planning and product management.
