As a well known figure in the security industry in Ireland, Michael brings a wealth of traditional security experience to GVD. Having worked on the installer, distributor and manufacturer sides of the industry, he understands what customers really want with a unique perspective. His main focus in GVD is to build on the good business and personal relationships he has garnered over the years. He is especially eager to educate security installers as to the benefits of IP security solutions and how easy it is to make the transition from traditional CCTV.

GVD is a Trade Only Specialist Value Added Distributor of IP Technology. They provide a comprehensive range of cutting edge IP technology hardware – Megapixel cameras, PoE access control, Wireless & PoE networking kit and Video management & analytics software products. They also provide IP networking training, industry knowledge, consultancy & technical expertise to transform how the security industry delivers IP solutions to its customers.

“Michael will complement our existing team in GVD and in particular develop our security customer base in line with our growth strategy”, says Gordon Smith, Managing Director. “As a well known character within the security industry, Michael will bring his own inimitable style to GVD, marrying his traditional security experience with new IP technology & networking solutions. We are delighted to have him on board and know he will help to drive GVD from strength to strength.”

Never known to be short of a few words, Michael is especially looking forward to GVD’s upcoming event – NIPX2012 – Ireland’s Premier IP Technology & Security Event. “I’m really looking forward to meeting past & present customers and friends at NIPX2012. It’s going to be a great event, ideal for everyone who wants and needs to embrace IP. So, I’d like to extend a warm invitation to all who know me within the Security Industry to the Red Cow Hotel on Tuesday 16th October. It’s a free event featuring Milestone, ACT, IQinVision, ACTi, Paxton, Intel, Netgenium and many others. Just register for NIPX2012 here and I look forward to doing plenty of IP business with you in the future”.
