Mixing Private Security With Oil

The private security contracting company, ArmorGroup International, has hired former Citigate Dewe Rogerson spinner Patrick Toyne-Sewell as its new communications director. Toyne-Sewell, who was a military man before spending over a decade in the PR world, sees the growing conflicts over oil and gas as being good for the private security industry. "Security is a rapidly growing industry and will expand further as oil and gas reserves require further protection," he told PR Week. "ArmorGroup is moving into wider business areas and doesn’t want people to be misled as to the nature of the industry."
