Hirsch UK Appoints Richard Berry as Business Development Manager for London & the South East
Hirsch UK has announced the appointment of Richard Berry as Business Development Manager (London and the South East). Richard brings more than 25 years of experience across the physical security and technology sectors, spanning OEMs, system integrators, and specialist solution providers.
Reflecting on Richard Berry’s appointment, Sales Director UK commented: “We are delighted to welcome Richard to the Hirsch UK team. Throughout his career, Richard has worked extensively across access control, credentials, video technologies, footfall analytics, proptech, and a wide range of integrated security solutions. His background includes both technical expertise and hands‑on project sales experience, giving him a strong understanding of customer needs across enterprise and SMB environments.”
Richard joins Hirsch UK at a significant moment in the company’s evolution, as the Hirsch Group continues to expand globally and strengthen its unified portfolio across high‑security, enterprise, and SMB markets.
Speaking about his decision to join the business, Richard said: “Hirsch is at a really exciting stage as we grow globally and move toward a more holistic approach to physical security across both enterprise and SMB markets. With the combined strengths of Hirsch USA’s 50‑year high‑security legacy, TDSi’s 40 years of access control expertise, and the cutting‑edge technologies from Hirsch Group (previously Vitaprotech), we have an incredibly strong portfolio under one roof. I’m looking forward to helping customers rethink their approach and adopt solutions that are best in class today and adaptable for tomorrow.”
In his new role, Richard will focus on strengthening Hirsch UK’s presence across London and the South‑East - one of the UK’s most strategically important regions for access control and integrated security projects. He will work closely with partners, consultants, and end user customers to support new opportunities and drive long‑term growth.
Richard added: “What I enjoy most is tackling new challenges and helping customers consider different approaches that deliver better outcomes. It’s already been a real buzz reconnecting with industry friends and colleagues who are keen to learn more about the benefits of the complete Hirsch portfolio. I’m excited to help the brand grow and go from strength to strength.”
