Louise Bagnall having worked in the Security industry since September 2000 has over 20 years’ experience.

Initially employed as a Security officer and having TUPE over to Securitas in January 2003 was then appointed to a Site Supervisors position in 2004.

In 2007 Louise was successfully promoted to the position of Operations Manager, a role that involved working closely with her Branch Manager, in assisting with the management and operational requirements of the business.

In May 2020 Louise was appointed to the role of Branch Manager and is responsible for a large portfolio of business across the country.

“I entered the Security industry all those years ago working days, nights, weekends, fulfilling those long shifts and was very unaware that what I believed then to be just a job to pay bills, rent etc would become a lot more, what I didn’t realise was that I was on my way to a very successful career path. This success of course could not be achieved without a lot of hard work, drive and ambition but for me the most important part of this success was that I worked for Securitas, a company who cares about their employees and who strives to see their employees succeed and make the difference.” - Louise Bagnall, Securitas Ireland Branch Manager

Darren started his career in the Irish Security Industry in 2009 as a security officer in a busy pharmaceutical facility.

In 2014 Darren transferred to Securitas Ireland when we were awarded the Security Contract for the site he was working in at the time. Darren told us that; “After all these years with Securitas, I have to say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.” In 2015 Darren was promoted to the position of Site Security Supervisor on a busy pharmaceutical plant in Co Wicklow.

In late 2017, Darren saw an advertisement for a Branch Administrators position based in the Securitas Head Office in Clonee and decided to apply. “I was looking to further my career in the security industry and seen this as a great opportunity to progress in Securitas.”

“Thankfully, I was successful and took up my new role as the Branch Administrator for Branch Manager Des Leech in January 2018. During this time, I worked closely with Des and Operations Manager Louise Bagnall and supported the day-to-day running of the Branch and learned a lot from both Des and Louise on how the business works.”

In May 2020, Darren was promoted to the position of Operations Manager for the responsibility of a commercial portfolio alongside Branch Manager Louise Bagnall.
