Reflecting upon his new role, Richard commented, “I am excited to be joining the Tdsi team. The company has a fantastic range of products that will suit any environment, and all budgets so there is tremendous scope to work with our distributors and grow our mutual business.”

John Davies, Managing Director of Tdsi also commented, “We are delighted to welcome Richard to this highly pivotal role. Tdsi’s products are exclusively sold through our partners and we are committed to ensuring we offer the best support and assistance to facilitate this. Richard is the prime point of contact for our distribution partners - be it for stock enquires, pricing or connecting them with our vast network of expert installer customers.”

Richard has over 20 years’ worth of security experience, having joined the industry in 1997 working at Clarke Instruments Ltd promoting and selling medium to high security electric strikes, turnstiles and barriers. In 2001 he joined Gardiner Security in its access control division and stayed there for 10 years, during which time the company was bought out by ADI Global (part of Honeywell) and Richard became an Account Manager selling access control, intruder and CCTV products.

In 2011, Richard moved to ACT (Access Control Technology) an Irish manufacturer of access products, as a Senior Account Manager. He worked with ACT for seven years until he made the move to Inner Range before joining Tdsi.

Richard concluded, “I have gained a broad experience of the security sales industry during my career and look forward to sharing my expertise that with Tdsi’s distribution partners. The UK market is an energetic one, so I am available to help our distributors fully meet the demands and needs of our customers from Tdsi’s extensive range of products.”
