KEY PERSONNEL

Howard Griffiths, Managing Director

Howie Griffiths has been actively involved in the South African security industry for over 20 years, and has been personally involved in some of the company’s largest cases. These include investigations into cases involving grand fraud, industrial espionage, and counter intelligence and surveillance.

Howie has undergone various specialized security training courses - he is a graduate of the South African Institute of Security (SAIS) - and has been involved in a number of high profile investigations on both a national and international scale. He also headed up the single biggest investigation ever carried out by the company, that into a high reaching fraud syndicate at a provincial hospital network, where he was in command of over 150 detectives and undercover investigators.

Howie has been instrumental in the development and initiation of new ideas within the company, benefiting the ever changing face of the New South Africa, including the drive into IT security and Behavioural Change Management services.

Howie was also past chairman of the Gauteng Branch of the South African Security Association, where he also sat on SASA’s National Council. He is a member of the American Society for Industrial Security.

His extensive experience in the industry, and active involvement in a number of security related bodies, has allowed him to make his mark on the security industry and has allowed him to build the company up to the point where it services some of the top 100 companies in South Africa.

Lionel Strong, General Manager

Having grown up in the town of Kroonstad in the Free State, Lionel has come a long way. This larger than life man has had an illustrious career in both the South African Police Services and the Private Security Industry. After obtaining his diploma in police management Lionel was appointed to handle the integration of the ANC and Inkatha Freedom Parties Self Defence Units into the police services. His success in this area gave the then new ANC lead government confidence to task Lionel to handle the investigations into politically motivated criminal activity throughout the country as well as the notorious taxi industries violence.

In 2000 Lionel left the South African Police Services and launched his new career in the private security industry. It was here he headed up and ran the operations for Diligence Security Guarding Services, having under his command over 600 guards.

It was in 2006 that Lionel joined Security Service Consultants and was appointed PA to the managing director. It became quickly apparent that Lionel had more to offer this dynamic organization and in 2007 became the general manager.

He has made his mark on the security industry and is a well liked and respected member of this community. This is evident as he was elected in 2009 as Chairman of the Gauteng Branch of the Security Association of South Africa.
