We are very proud to announce that our CEO, Iain McCallister, has been shortlisted as a finalist in the “Most Inspiring Leader (Male)” category at the Birmingham Best Places to Work Awards 2026.

This prestigious recognition celebrates leaders who demonstrate exceptional dedication, inspire those around them, and create positive workplace cultures where people can thrive. Being named a finalist is a fantastic achievement.

For more than 33 years, Iain has led MAN Commercial Protection with a people-first philosophy, building the business on strong family values, trust, transparency, and teamwork. His hands-on leadership style and focus on employee wellbeing have helped shape the culture we are proud to have today.

Under Iain’s leadership, MAN Commercial Protection has grown into one of the UK’s leading security providers while maintaining the close-knit family feel that remains at the heart of the business. From investing in staff development and wellbeing initiatives to supporting career progression opportunities and innovation across the company, Iain continues to inspire teams at every level of the organisation.
