SECUREIT, an established fire prevention and security solutions provider based in South Wales, has announced a significant addition to its board of directors as part of its ongoing evolution and growth strategy. Dylan Matthews, an accomplished business leader with a wealth of experience in the hospitality and innovation sectors, has joined SECUREIT’s board as a non-executive director, bringing with him invaluable business expertise and insight.
Founded 17 years ago as a family-run business, SECUREIT has steadily grown into a respected name in the security solutions industry, known for its commitment to innovation, quality, and customer service. The appointment of Mr. Matthews marks another milestone in the company’s journey, reinforcing its dedication to enhancing leadership and expanding its influence in the security solutions market both in Wales and further afield.
Born in Canada, but based in South Wales, Mr. Matthews’ impressive career includes serving as the CEO of the prestigious Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, where he played a pivotal role in elevating the resort to international acclaim, including hosting the 2010 Ryder Cup. His strategic vision and leadership have been instrumental in driving success and growth at the business. In addition to his past achievements, Mr. Matthews is currently a director at The Alacrity Foundation, an organisation focused on nurturing entrepreneurial talent and innovation.
The experienced entrepreneur expressed his enthusiasm for joining the board, stating: “I am pleased to be part of SECUREIT’s journey as it continues to grow and innovate.
“The company’s commitment to excellence and its strong family values aligns strongly with my own principles. I enjoy the challenge of growing businesses and try to look at things from a different perspective.
“I look forward to working with the company’s board of directors, and positively contributing to future successes.”
Philip Popham, managing director of SECUREIT, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Dylan to the company’s board. His extensive experience and proven track record in leadership will be invaluable as we continue to expand our services and reach new heights.
“Dylan’s strategic insights of running businesses, especially where customer and operational security are business critical actions, will help guide SECUREIT through the next phase of our growth, ensuring we remain at the forefront of the fire prevention and security solutions industry.”
As SECUREIT continues to evolve, the addition of Dylan Matthews to its board of directors underscores the company’s commitment to bringing in top-tier talent to steer its strategic vision. Mr. Matthews joins Newport man Mike Gahan on the board, who was appointed as commercial director to the company earlier in the year.
This latest appointment not only strengthens the leadership team but also positions SECUREIT for continued success in delivering cutting-edge security solutions to clients across core sectors including retail and hospitality, construction and education establishments.

Since its creation, the family-run business has built a strong reputation for delivering innovative, reliable, and high-quality security systems and services to a diverse range of clients.
The appointment of Mr. Matthews will see additional scrutiny and governance of SECUREIT’s mission is to protect people, property, and businesses with solutions that meet the highest standards of safety and performance.
