Barrett has been involved in the security industry for the past 30 years, spending over 16 years at CBC Europe.

His specialist electronic security knowledge covers all aspects of CCTV and video transmission solutions, including fibre optic, Ethernet and wireless.

“Over the past year our IQCCTV division has grown significantly, added to this the quick success of the Smart-i division has created a need for an experienced pair of hands to take them to the next stage of their growth,” said Y3K’s Group CEO, Paul Singh. “We’re very fortunate to have hired Mike, who is very well known in the industry. Mike’s years of experience and knowledge will prove vital in growing both parts of the business. The Plug and Play 1080p CCTV and the Smart Home Security sectors will present the greatest market opportunities for us over the next few years, so Mike joining us is perfect timing. And Mike won’t be the last of the appointments we have planned for this year, as we have a few more announcements to make shortly.”

Barrett’s position is the first of more than 5 new appointments Y3K will be announcing this month as the company prepares for continued rapid growth during 2016.
