5 minutes with Dean Hoult, General Manager of Valour Security Services

  1. What services does your business provide?

For the first time outside of Brisbane there is an ASIAL Grade A1 Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). I am excited to bring the most advanced commercial and residential monitoring centre in Australia to Cairns, where previously all North Queensland alarms are monitored by Southern State-based businesses.

  1. How long has your business been running and how long have you worked there?

Our family has been in the Security industry in FNQ for over 40 years.

  1. How long have you lived in Cairns?

On and off for 35 years, though most of my time was spent serving Australia in the Military.

  1. Where is your favourite place in Far North Queensland and why?

My favourite part, rather than place, of the Far North has to be the people. If anyone needs help, a hand reaches out to support them. If someone is down on their luck the community rallies.

I have been to many places across Australia and overseas with the military and I have never experienced this anywhere else. It’s very special in Far North Queensland.

So definitely the community, and Ellis Beach!

  1. What is your favourite quote?

Knowledge and experience: Knowledge is knowing tomatoes are a fruit; experience is knowing not to put them in a fruit salad.

  1. Who is someone who inspires you and why?

I would have to say my father. Although he passed away nearly 5 years ago, his knowledge of the industry and his ability to see what would benefit the industry in the future was remarkable.

Hopefully some of that has rubbed off on me.

  1. What do you hope to achieve with your business in 2021/22?

We have invested in our community here in Cairns. We have the most technologically advanced alarm monitoring system in Australia, based in Smithfield. We believe that FNQ deserves a better quality service than the southerners give us, so we are providing a better service at a better price and employing locals to do this.

We want the local businesses to come on board to grow employment opportunities here in this industry and in our community with Valour Security.
