Wessex Fire & Security has appointed Jessica Lutwyche as its Service Manager, overseeing a 30-strong team of engineers, technicians and admin staff.
The company is part of the Wessex Group that Jess joined eight years ago in an administration role.
After moving to the fire and security business she was quickly promoted to Small Works Installation Manager before being appointed to the new position.
The role means she also joins the Senior Management team of Wessex Fire & Security, headed by Managing Director Chris Stott with Paul Budden, Installation Manager, and Tracey Martin, Quality Manager.
Wessex Fire & Security is based in Shaftesbury, Dorset, and is active in all areas of fire and security across the south.
The company employs 80 staff and has a turnover of £7m, and Jess will work across both the fire and security parts of the business.
Chris Stott said: “Jess is extremely customer-focussed and is actually one of the group’s customer service coaches. She will be a good addition to an excellent management team.
“We are a business that is growing and part of an industry within which the technology changes quickly and Jess’s energy and enthusiasm will be important as we go forward.”
Jess said: “I am very much looking forward to the challenge.
“We have great staff here and everyone feels very much part of a team which will make things easier.
“Wessex Fire & Security is a great company to work for and our ambition is to grow while remaining focused on customer service.”
