20 Years of Tim Hawkins at PGC Security (Yes… 20!)
We’re celebrating a pretty special milestone - Tim Hawkins has officially clocked 20 years with PGC Security.
To put that into perspective… when Tim started, security cameras recorded onto videotapes, “remote access” meant driving to site, and if you heard the internet connect, it sounded like a robot having a bad day.
Fast forward to today – we’ve got cloud-based systems, remote access from your phone, wireless tech like Starlink, and alarm systems that can do just about everything except make you a coffee (we’re working on that).
And Tim? He’s been there through all of it.
Starting as an apprentice security technician, Tim worked his way through the ranks – apprentice, tech, lead tech, tech supervisor, and now General Manager. Not many can say they’ve grown with a company like that… and even fewer can say they’ve kept up with technology the whole way!
What really sets Tim apart is his experience across both sides of the industry. While most people stick to either electronic or physical security, Tim’s done it all – from installing systems to working guard shifts, crowd control, and patrols. Safe to say, if it involves security, Tim’s probably done it (and done it well).
He’s also been part of the company’s evolution – from Paynter Security, through growth into Alarm Installation & Monitoring (AIM), bringing other electronic security businesses on board, and becoming the PGC Security we know today.
Through every change, upgrade, and “how does this new system work?” moment, Tim has remained committed to the business and our clients.
We’re incredibly proud of the journey he’s taken, the role he’s played in shaping the company, and the leadership he brings today.
20 years down… and still going strong.
(Although we’re fairly confident he’s happy we don’t have to rewind tapes anymore.)
Congratulations Tim – and thanks for everything you’ve done and continue to do.
