Videosoft appoints new Principal Public Sector Manager

March 30, 2021

One of the UK’s leading figures in public space safety and street crime prevention has joined Videosoft as the company rolls out its next generation of CCTV and security video streaming products and services.

Andy Stocker, the former ‘Street Czar’ of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (LBHF) and CCTV, local authority and public space security expert, brings 20 years experience to his new role as Videosoft’s Principal Public Sector Manager.  

Stocker’s appointment comes at a unique time in the security sector’s history, where future tech such as AI, machine learning and blockchain are being used with new developments in CCTV and video streaming. Public welfare, terrorism, social disorder, security issues and financial restructuring are at the forefront of local, national and international policy.

In welcoming Stocker to the Videosoft management team, Stewart McCone, CEO of Videosoft, said: “Andy is a perfect fit for Videosoft. His people skills, industry, public sector knowledge, and professionalism are, quite literally, second to none.

“Ask anyone who’s watched Channel 5’s Criminals: Caught on Camera* – they will be aware that public space CCTV is a subject close to Andy’s heart. Andy knows the local authority and public sector inside out and is already bringing that deep and thorough knowledge and understanding to Videosoft as we introduce our next generation of video streaming technology.

“As Street Czar at Hammersmith & Fulham, Andy was the single point of contact for residents and businesses, bringing his brilliant people skills to bear with a no-nonsense approach that championed issues through council departments and ensured the efficient, effective resolution of a host of public safety and crime issues ranging from security to fly-tipping.”

“I’m incredibly excited to be joining Videosoft at such an important time for public space and CCTV security,” said Stocker, “and to be working with Stewart and the Videosoft management team, who are clearly now the leading players in the provision of live video streaming technology for the CCTV and security sector. 

“My role is very much underpinned by the need to ensure Tech provides real-life improvements and added security to people’s lives while working with public sector organisations, local authorities, the police and emergency services

“When it comes down to it, I want to be in a situation where I can help people and help improve the world we live in. I want to be able to do something different, where I can ‘write the rule book – not follow the rule book.

“At Videosoft I’ll be able to do just that!”
