The ASSA-I Board of Directors and the ASSA-I General Secretariat were deeply saddened to learn of Mr. Jørgen Philip-Sørensen’s death.
Jørgen Philip-Sørensen was Chairman and Chief Executive of Group 4 Securitas (International) BV between 1964 and 2000 and was then Chairman of the Board of Group 4 Falck A/S from 2000 until the merger with Securicor in 2004. Jørgen Philip-Sørensen chaired the Board of Group 4 Securicor (now G4S) until his retirement in June 2006, when he became President Emeritus.
He died at the age of 71 in Switzerland on January 18, 2010. He held a number of directorships for commercial and charitable entities, including Ecover International BV, Skagen Food A/S, Danish Yacht A/S, Skagen Harbor, Dormy House Hotel, Sorven Holdings Limited, Cotswold Conference Centre Limited and the Foundation for Liver Research.
Jørgen Philip-Sørensen was very highly respected throughout the entire ASSA-I community. His contributions to our sector were many and varied. As a true architect, he shaped the private security industry as it exists today.
