Business Watch Guarding has announced the promotion of Elaine Newbury to the position of director, recognising her outstanding contribution to the company over the past seven years.
Elaine, who was previously the company’s head of finance, joined the Shropshire-based business in 2017 when she was headhunted to advance and streamline Business Watch’s finance department, bring fresh insight to the senior management team, and support in the delivery of a first-class service to customers.
Over the past few years, Elaine has played a pivotal role in implementing strategic initiatives to accelerate business growth, even during challenging economic conditions.
Paul Hinkins, managing director of Business Watch Guarding, said: “Elaine has worked with me for the last seven years and during this time has acquired comprehensive knowledge of the company - so when the vacancy came up for the director’s position, it was an easy decision for me to approach her.
"I am delighted to say Elaine accepted and will continue to deliver her initiative-taking approach across all areas of our business.”
As a director, Elaine will help shape the future of the business – driving growth, further enhancing service offering, and strengthening partnerships with clients and partners.
She will continue to lead initiatives that improve efficiency and innovation across the company, while also championing staff development and diversity within the security sector.
Elaine said: “I am so honoured to be taking on this new responsibility and to continue working with such a dedicated team.
"Business Watch Guarding has a proud history of safeguarding businesses across the county, and I look forward to driving our mission forward – ensuring our clients, employees, and partners feel supported, protected, and valued.”
