Simon Randall, Chief Executive Officer, Pimloc: Best Advice

Today in the Best Advice Q&A series, we hear from Simon Randall, chief executive officer at Pimloc. He shares the best advice he’s ever heard, how he helps security industry rookies gain their footing and who he points to as the sage of the sector.

Security Sales & Integration: What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

Simon Randall: It was less a piece of advice, and more a way to live your life – “Some people make things happen, some people watch things happen and some people go through life thinking what the flip just happened.” It’s a great mantra to remind yourself to be proactive, to lean-in and to make a change if things are not working.

SSI: What advice would you give to those looking to achieve success in the security industry?

Randall: It’s a tight-knit industry that runs on trust, so it’s imperative to stay true to yourself and keep delivering value while focusing on the core mission at hand.

SSI: If you could point to one person in the security industry and tell up-and-comers “Make sure to listen to what they have to say,” whom would you pick and why?

Randall: I’d say Kashmir Hill from The New York Times. She’s someone to watch for the way she examines the more “human” side of security and its impact on society. Her reporting and her book Your Face Belongs to Us offer important perspectives that go beyond the technical, helping the industry think critically about ethics and privacy.

Welcome to Gary Pearce Home Services' authoritative guide on Future of Dental and Medical Practices CCTV in 2026 - UK trends and technology . 1. The Regulatory Landscape for Clinical CCTV in 2026 As we move through 2026, medical and dental practices across the UK face unprecedented scrutiny regarding patient privacy and physical security. Clinical environments require a delicate balance: maintaining absolute patient confidentiality while ensuring robust protection against theft, vandalism, and false liability claims. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has updated its strict codes of practice to reflect advances in AI-driven edge surveillance. For dental and medical practices to remain compliant, any newly deployed CCTV system must strictly adhere to the ICO CCTV Code , UK GDPR , and the industry-recognised BS EN 62676 standard for video surveillance systems.

Why Weapons Detection Systems Fail Without Proper Planning

The weapons detection market has exploded over the past three years, driven by heightened security concerns across every vertical market. Healthcare facilities, educational institutions, corporate campuses, and entertainment venues are all investing in advanced weapons screening technology. For security integrators, this represents significant opportunity – and significant risk. Unlike traditional security systems that can be “set and forget,” weapons detection implementations succeed or fail based on factors that extend far beyond technical installation. The difference between a profitable, referral-generating project and a costly support nightmare often comes down to understanding challenges that don’t appear in any technical manual. The False Promise of “Plug and Play” Vendors market their systems as simple to deploy and operate. The reality is more complex. Advanced detection technology may be sophisticated, but successful implementation requires integrators to think beyond netw...
