Securitas UK has announced the appointment of Alan Rae to the newly created and expanded role of Area Director for UK North and BAE Systems.

Effective immediately, Alan will continue to lead the company’s strategic partnership with BAE Systems while also taking responsibility for the multi-client branch network across the North of the UK.
