Rory Lamrock offers additional niche skills in intelligence, risk assessment and security consulting, honed in various positions including UN and EU criminal justice and maritime security projects in East Africa. More recently, Rory undertook a role as analyst and operations director focusing on high risk projects, and he has also advised corporate and private clients on complex risk mitigation strategies.

Companies looking to manage security and political risks in emerging markets or challenging environments will benefit in particular from Rory’s skill set. He explained: “Pinkerton is without doubt a global leader in risk management and, with my qualifications and background, UK director was the ideal next career move for me. I thrive on using technology to solve problems and the intelligence and other resources available at Pinkerton will certainly enable my team and me to give UK organisations in all sectors the most informed advice on which they can base hugely important decisions about their security and ongoing risk management strategies.”
