Kieran Mackie confirmed as new Managing Director of Amulet

UK-based Amulet has named Kieran Mackie as its new Managing Director.

Mackie – who has been a part of the business for five years as its commercial director – takes over the role from Darren Read, who has been appointed as COO of Churchill Group, Amulet’s parent company.

Mackie worked closely with Read over the years at Amulet, developing the business’s growth path, and now plans to further enhance Amulet as an employer of choice as part of its strategic goals.

This will involve bringing a new generation of talent into the industry, making a career in security an attractive proposition through training and personal development programs whilst fostering a people-focused culture to deliver outstanding service.

Mackie will also build on recent technological innovations at Amulet, such as Project Blueprint, the real time situational awareness software that is exclusive to Amulet in the private security sector.

The combination of a people first organisation with the latest technology will ensure Amulet clients receive the most effective security solutions.

Mackie commented: “I am delighted to be taking on the role of MD at Amulet. Darren has handed me the reigns at a truly exciting time for our industry and I look forward to cementing Amulet as the security provider of choice by hiring passionate, personable people to look after our clients.

“A valued, supported and motivated workforce is critical to business success which is why I’ll be focussing on hiring, retaining and developing the top talent available.”
