Posted on 27th January 2022 at 12:55

Cova Security Gates is delighted to announce the appointment of a new Managing Director Jonathan (Jon) Trott following a move to 'Executive Director and Chairman' for its co-founder Gerald (Gerry) Cowan.

Jon has previously held operational and director positions at Cova, in addition to his role on the council of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA).

Jon will take on day-to-day operational management of the Cova Security Gates business while continuing to work closely with the Chairman and wider Board to ensure the further growth of the company.

Jon comments: “This is a truly exciting time to be taking this step, only possible thanks to the strength of the team and their continued support.

With the ‘Protect Duty Act’ imminent, focus is rightly trained on companies such as ours who deliver real-world solutions to help protect venerable locations from a terror attack.

While gaining ground in the ‘Publicly Accessible Locations' (PALs) market, with new products such as our Miti-Gate®R, we also look to consolidate our core business of designing, manufacturing, and maintaining high-quality perimeter security products for many of the world’s most important buildings and critical infrastructure.”
