FTS apoints Hipgrave as new MD
The UK-based digital forensics company Forensic Telecommunications Services (FTS) Ltd, has appointed Shaun Hipgrave as its new managing director
A former police officer with Northumbria Police, Mr. Hipgrave joined FTS in 2003 and has been the company's commercial director since 2005. He served for nine years in the British Army and 13 years in the police service, mainly working in serious crime investigation. He has spent the last 10 years advising on telecoms investigations in major enquiries.
Mr Hipgrave developed the FTS Telecoms Investigators course in 2005. Accredited by Teesside University, the course has been delivered to more than 700 detectives and telecoms analysts in the UK and abroad. He has a BA (Hons) degree in Criminology and Law from the University of Northumbria.
Mr Hipgrave will lead a restructuring programme which aims to re-focus FTS services around the needs of UK law enforcement agencies and respond to the growing pressures they face to deliver improved services at a time when public sector investment is under pressure.
