had a comprehensive exposure to all aspects of not only the Access Control
and Security sectors, but also the CCTV industry for Cameras, monitors,
PTZ equipment, Video transmission and compression equipment and the complete
range of Video management equipment available in the marketplace today.
While Micks role within TCG
will see him heavily involved in the early stages of the projects, and
indeed all projects that TCG will undertake, Mick is responsible for all
of the initial setup, design, configuration, and specification of the
application and the overall system, and the tender process to allow the
setting up the project management and installation teams associated with
each and every project.
Mick has the expertise to
ensure that there are no "Grey Areas" associated with the project
right from initial start up. Mick follows a philosophy of "No Surprises"
and ensures that project delivery is on time and on budget.
To achieve this Mick has
access to a pool of Resources to allocate to projects. Many of the following
resources are in the first instance called on on an "As Required"
basis, as many of the people assisting with the establishment of TCG as
a consultancy organisation are still employed or contracted by various
organisations in their specialist fields.
Mick is a fully indentured
Electrical Engineer, and has Lectured at The Royal Melbourne Institute
of Technology (RMIT) on Risk Management Systems, and the practical use
& Application of Technology for Access Control and Security applications.
During his employment with
Chubb Australia Mick was also an industry representative forming part
of a working group for the Australian Standards committee for Access Control
and Security Systems for the Australia / New Zealand Standards Body.
As TCG Consulting evolves,
the resource level will obviously be increased to cater for the demand,
and more resources will be selected and recruited as required on a permanent
basis. However at this point we must walk before we can run.
TCG have formed relationships
with a number of associates, and these associates have a wealth of experience
to draw upon. As a profile of the type of resources available, the following
calibre of professionals are a typical cross section:-

these projects and systems and we are well underway to the delivery of
a successful project.
This can only be achieved
through experienced professionals with a passion for their projects. This
