Dorset cybersecurity firm C3IA Solutions appoint another ex-army specialist to its ranks

Another former army specialist has joined the top cybersecurity business C3IA Solutions, located in Poole.

When his military career comes to an end in the new year, Iain Good, a Warrant Officer handling IT and Cyber services with the Royal Signals, will join the business. He'll have completed 24 years of service.

He will start working for the firm, which has more than 120 people directly employed or on contract, both in the UK and internationally, as a Technical Services manager. He will be in charge of directing the provision of technical services to C3IA's expanding clientele in both the private and public sectors.

Iain had this to say about his new job: “I've come full circle because when I went to the University of London in the Officer Training Corps I was advised by one of the managers, Mark Tivey, to go into the Signals. When I was looking to move on from the military, Mark had become the lead consultant for resourcing at C3IA Solutions, and discussed the company with me."

“The company is very well known within the Royal Signals and although leaving the military after such a long time can be difficult, joining a company with such strong military connections should make it easier.”

Jim Hawkins, C3IA Solutions' Delivery and Security Director, said this about the appointment: “Recruitment in cyber remains challenging."

“The sector continues to grow but the number of people with appropriate skills and experience needed is not growing at the same rate. So to be able to attract and employ highly qualified and experienced people such as Iain, in such a competitive market, really demonstrates the quality of the opportunities that we are able to offer."

"Iain will join our growing technical services team helping to manage the delivery of IT assurance and security testing services.”
