Diverse Expertise Driving Strategic Vision

Garner’s career journey is marked by a diverse and impressive range of experiences. After excelling in corporate sales, he successfully founded and led his own recruitment business, a venture that significantly honed his understanding of client needs, service excellence, and the crucial role of trusted relationships. His entrepreneurial spirit then led him to the international sports industry, where he facilitated networking and knowledge-sharing events between the UK and Italy. This role saw him connecting suppliers with elite sports organizations, including NFL franchises, Premier League football clubs, major cricket bodies, and national federations vying for international tournaments, consistently identifying new commercial opportunities and strategies for profitability.

Beyond the sports arena, Garner also managed a Connells estate agency branch, where he refined his leadership skills and built a strong foundation in performance-driven team management. Adding a unique dimension to his expertise, he holds a degree in forensic archaeology, a background that has endowed him with a uniquely analytical mindset, exceptional attention to detail, and a methodical approach that he applies rigorously to every professional challenge.

Commenting on his new role, Garner expressed his enthusiasm for joining TDSi at a pivotal moment. “Customers trust TDSi because the products perform, the technology is robust, and the support behind it is second-to-none,” he remarked. “I am excited to be joining at such a pivotal time, bringing fresh perspectives from outside the security sector and helping strengthen collaboration between TDSi and its Hirsch Group (formerly Vitaprotech Group) sister companies.”

Garner is eager to leverage his experience to forge new customer and partner relationships, expand TDSi’s market presence into new sectors, and champion strategic initiatives that will define the company’s next phase of robust growth. His appointment signals TDSi’s continued dedication to pushing boundaries and reinforcing its position as a leader in integrated access control and security solutions.
