  • Simon Bamber

    I started my journey at Protec as a security maintenance/install apprentice. Through hard work and dedication, I completed my Fire and Security apprenticeship course and became a fully qualified engineer. During this time, I worked on a variety of systems across multiple sectors. After six years of servicing and installing security systems, I seized the opportunity to become a small works estimator within the security department. In this role, I collaborated closely with a diverse range of clients, providing tailored security solutions. This included the survey, design and quoting of systems ranging from small retail units to major Music Venues.

    Today, I serve as the National Security Sales Advisor, working with the Business Development team.
