With more than 130 employees based at its Poole headquarters and around the country, C3IA Solutions required a dedicated compliance manager.

Aidan, from Weymouth, chooses to work one evening a week at McDonald’s because it helps with his people skills and business management.

He said: “This is an opportunity to work in a different sector for a company that is growing rapidly.

“It presents a new challenge and I am looking forward to learning about cyber-security.

“I will be bringing those skills I learned in the nuclear and automobile industries in terms of compliance; it is hugely important to ensure things are done correctly.

“C3IA Solutions does a great deal with its corporate social responsibility, and supports and sponsors many individuals and groups – especially military ones.

“This is an area that I will be helping with and it’s great to work for a company that does so much for others.

Jim Hawkins from the company said: “Aidan brings skills that so far have been done by a number of people.
“It made sense to find someone expert in these areas to oversee the whole of the company.

“Aidan’s career since he left college told us a lot about him and we’re pleased to have secured his services.

“That he still works at McDonald’s purely for his own development is a sign of his deep commitment to his work.”
