Stuart Woolgar is Chief Executive Officer of Global Guardians Management, bringing a background spanning the property and security industries to the company's leadership. He has been an active voice for progressive practice and stronger regulation in his sector, playing a hands-on role in developing British Standard BS8584:2015, a standard he has since worked to embed throughout his own organization.
Under his direction, Global Guardians has become a leading name in property guardianship, a model that converts vacant buildings into affordable temporary housing while providing on-site security. Woolgar recruits working professionals from a range of backgrounds to serve as guardians, pairing commercial viability with a genuine attempt to ease housing affordability pressures.
Beyond the core business, he encourages guardians to build community ties and support vulnerable people in the areas where they live, reflecting a leadership approach that treats social responsibility as part of running a successful company, not separate from it.
