Chesterford Research Park appoints Security Manager

As part of the process of continually enhancing the services provided to its occupiers, Chesterford Research Park, based in over 250 acres of parkland in the South Cambridgeshire bio-science cluster, has appointed Karl Smith as its Security and Park Services Manager.

More than amply qualified for the role, Karl has spent his whole career within the security industry. After serving with the Royal Artillery for nine years, where he worked in the Close Protection Unit as a personal bodyguard for the Regimental Sergeant Major, Karl held a management position in the detention services sector before this latest move into corporate security.

Speaking about his appointment, Karl said, “I am delighted to be on board at Chesterford. With a large community of scientific and research companies it is a unique and varied development and I am greatly looking forward to the many challenges that will come my way as Chesterford Research Park continues to grow and develop.”

Karl has a passion for motorbikes, and during his time in the forces, Karl was the lead rider for the Royal Artillery Motorcycle Display Team.
