Phil Thompson retired from a successful career in Greater Manchester Police in 1998 and started Key Control Services (KCS) shortly afterwards. He utilised the knowledge gained from his time in the force to forge an award-winning security company that is respected by both customers and competitors. Over recent years, Phil worked closely with then Operations Director, Paul Haynes and expanded the business. Sadly, Phil passed away unexpectedly and very prematurely in 2023 and is very much missed by his colleagues and many people on the local business networking scene.
