Security expert to share insights at Business Exchange

UK security expert Don Randall will be lifting the lid on his experiences when he addresses industry leaders from across the region.

Don will provide an overview of security risks, historic examples of major event and crisis management, and the benefits of public and private partnership initiatives at the Business Exchange on September 24.

The Business Exchange is a network of senior leaders from businesses and organisations in the North East and North Yorkshire, which meets every month at Teesside University, Darlington.

The Business Exchange was launched to enable industry leaders to share knowledge and experience, boosting economic regeneration and enabling business to grow and prosper.

The free events provide an opportunity for business networking at the highest level, as well as hearing from inspirational business leaders and being able to exchange valuable business knowledge. Each event features a high-profile national or regional business speaker sharing their business knowledge, followed by a question and answer session, and networking time.

Don served with the City of London Police from 1969-1995, focusing on fraud and counter terrorism. He went on to be Managing Director at JPMorgan Chase and later Head of Security at the Bank of England.

He is chairman of the ‘Sister Banks’, City of London Crime Prevention Association and ‘Project Griffin’ and a member of the City of London Crime Disorder Reduction Panel.

He is also a member of the London First Security Advisory Board, Executive Member of the London Resilience Board and Chairman of the London Resilience Business Sector Panel.

In the 2007 New Years Honours, Don was awarded the MBE for services to law enforcement involving the harmonisation of the public/private sector agencies.

He was Co-founder and Vice Chairman of the Cross Sector Safety & Security Communications initiative which created a fast time, accurate and authoritative law enforcement private/public sector partnership successfully used in advance and throughout the Olympic Games - an initiative that is currently being developed in Scotland for the Commonwealth Games, and across all major UK Cities.

The Business Exchange with Don Randall MBE, Head of Security at the Bank of England takes place on September 24 from 5pm to 6.30pm.
