Hennie Lowe has also been tasked with the role of account manager at UTC. He started his career with SAPS in 1987 and worked as a firearm instructor and detective until 1998 when he went to the private sector. He held a number of positions, such as national sales manager for SESCO before starting his own alarm monitoring, response and guarding business, which he sold in 2015. After that he was national sales manager for TechSec, honing his skills in the security technology industry before joining UTC. He says joining UTC was an easy decision, given the global reach of the company and the full range and quality of its products.
