Dean Saunders, vice president procurement North America at G4S Secure Solutions, announced that he has retired from the company where he worked for the past 31 years. He joined the company in January 1991 as senior director of purchasing.

“I never thought I would work in the security field growing up. But things happen in your life that change your direction without you even knowing it’s happening. It was an amazing ride I could not have imagined. For the past 31 years I was lucky enough to meet and work with some amazing people that helped shape the person I became, but that is coming to an end and I wanted to say thank you to all who made the years go by like days. You will be missed. I wish you all the best,” Saunders said.

Before joining G4S Secure Solutions, Saunders worked almost six years for P.S. Exports in Miami, Florida.
