AURA UK has announced the appointment of Andy Fort as Operations Director.
Fort reportedly joins AURA at a key stage in its UK growth, as the company continues to scale its on-demand security response network across the country, supporting both residential and commercial customers with faster, more reliable access to assistance when it is needed most.
According to the company, Fort will be responsible for managing AURA’s operational performance in the UK, with a focus on maintaining high standards of reliability, efficiency and delivery.
He is set to play a central role in strengthening operational processes as AURA continues to grow its footprint across the UK security and emergency response market.
Alex Booth, Managing Director at AURA UK stated: “At AURA, operational excellence is fundamental to everything we do.
“As demand for our services grows across the country, it is essential that we continue to strengthen the systems, partnerships and processes that ensure fast, reliable response for our users.”
“Andy brings extensive experience leading large-scale security operations in complex environments, as well as a strong track record in driving performance, improving standards and effective operational delivery.
“He will be instrumental in helping us maintain and raise those standards as we scale.”
Having worked in the sector for 15 years, Fort reportedly brings a wealth of experience leading teams across growth, operations and security.
The company has stated that before joining AURA, he led business operations and growth at ADMI as CEO, following senior roles at WS Insight where he led large scale security operations across East and Central Africa.
He is also said to bring public sector experience from the UK Ministry of Defence within Intelligence & Security.
Fort stated: “I’m really pleased to be joining AURA at such a pivotal point in its UK growth.
“What stood out to me immediately is the very real problem AURA is solving; improving access to fast, reliable emergency response through smart, practical use of technology.
“My focus is on making sure we deliver consistently for the people who rely on us.
“That means strengthening how we operate day to day, working closely with our partners and holding ourselves to the highest standards as we scale.
“Growth is important, but it has to come with reliability, accountability and a service people can trust every time.”
Booth added: “Andy’s appointment significantly strengthens our operational capability in the UK.
“His experience managing complex security operations and driving performance across large teams will be invaluable as we continue to scale.
“His focus on standards, structure and delivery aligns closely with our mission to ensure people can access help quickly and reliably when they need it most.”
