ANTHONY CANNON

• Business Development Manager
• anthony.cannon@csproducts.co.nz
• 021 301 301

I moved from a country where security in some form or another is a necessity (South Africa), to a place where I was told I didn’t need security (New Zealand). I have a background in Network Infrastructure and Administration. Having worked in the security industry for over five years providing technical training, support and pre-sales across mixed security environments, I am able to use my technical background and product knowledge to offer customers project specific solutions and alternatives where needed. In true ‘Saffa’ style I live on the North Shore with my beautiful wife and daughter, where we spend our weekends exploring beaches, walking trails and bike tracks across New Zealand.

DORIS ZHENG

• Import and Asian Account Manager
• Doris.zheng@csproducts.co.nz
• 0220 471 406

By joining CSP, I have added an indispensable and passionate Chinese element to the internationalisation of the company. My job is to source and import leading-edge, highly technical and cost-effective security products from China. I also provide top quality security solutions, after-sale services and technical advice to Asian customers living in New Zealand. I enjoy interacting with my compatriots in this foreign country, supporting and helping meet their business needs. I also love the knowledge and challenges I face every day – in particular I enjoy the atmosphere at CSP: passionate, happy and warm. I very much enjoy living in this simple country with quiet life and stunning scenery.

JESSE MCCORMICK

• Sales Representative – Auckland Region
• Jesse.mccormick@csproducts.co.nz 
• 021 88 66 45

I started out as an apprentice Security Technician working on projects in Christchurch and Auckland, before moving into a Sales role within commercial security. I loved supplying complete turn-key solutions for customers, and worked on both large and small projects. Last year I made the switch to the other side of the fence (wholesale), and it has been an eye-opening experience to see how things operate in wholesale compared to installation. The best thing about this industry is that it is always changing and there is the continuing challenge of sourcing full solutions for my customers. In my spare time you will either find me at the pub or somewhere out of Auckland. 

TARYN NEILSEN

• Sales Representative – Northern Region
• Taryn.neilsen@csproducts.co.nz
• 021 903 903

I have worked with the Connect Security Products team for over five years; servicing
accounts within the Northern Region (Gisborne through to KeriKeri). My role includes
providing quotations, delivering training, visiting sites and providing on-going relationship
and sales support for my customers, who I care passionately about. I enjoy travel, socialising
and meeting new people which – fortunately – comes with the job. If I’m not swimming,
fishing or spinning a yarn over coffee, then I’m probably working. During my time at CSP I
have had the opportunity to take leave and travel the world, relocate to Waihi Beach in the

sunny Bay of Plenty and start a wee family with my partner. Most of 2020 has been taken up
by maternity leave, but I am now enjoying being back on board and juggling the working
world with motherhood.

CRAIG MCCARTHY

• Sales Representative – Central Region
• Craig.mccarthy@csproducts.co.nz
• 021 704 701

I am the Senior Technical Sales Person in our Wellington Branch, where I have been based for five years. Prior to joining Connect Security Products I worked in varying sales and technical support roles. I have also spent time ‘on the tools’ with a background in MATV, CCTV and electronic retail. I am a big sports fan, especially ice hockey, jet-skiing and V8 Supercars. At CSP, I am always striving to develop my skills and learn new things in order to better myself.

PAUL ROSS

• National Sales Manager – Auckland 
• Paul.ross@csproducts.co.nz
• 021 337 911

After leaving school in Australia, I joined the Royal Australian Navy and the Australian Federal Police before getting into the electronic security industry as a Security Technician. I jumped the Tasman to reside permanently in New Zealand where I continued in the electronic security world. I have held varying roles ranging from Security Technician, Technical Sales, Sales Management and General Manager of a multi-national security company. I am passionate about working within the NZ electronic security industry and have a hands-on approach with our large customer base. Outside of work I enjoy playing guitar and spending time with family.

BRENT FICK

• Customer Services and Technical Support Representative – Christchurch
• Brent.fick@csproducts.co.nz 
• 03 3777754

I work out of Connect Security Products Christchurch Branch where I help our customers become better technicians by advising on system and installation requirements. Before that I was ‘on the tools’ for 15 years and have installed most Security and CCTV systems in industrial and domestic applications. My family and I emigrated from Newcastle, South Africa in 2001 and I’ve spent most of my time since then in Christchurch. I am married with a young family and my hobbies include tramping and camping, tinkering with electronics and metal work.

WILLIAM PASCOE

• Customer Services and Technical Support Representative – Auckland
• William.pascoe@csproducts.co.nz
• 0800 267 246

I joined Connect Security Products as a Covid refugee from a partner company. I have a background in software/hardware, with some experience working with Bosch products. I was tasked with quickly gaining knowledge on our extensive range of products to help the technical support team. A lot has changed quickly which is a good way to describe 2020. In my free time I enjoy riding motorcycles, following the NRL, and building PC’s.

TAMMY DAVIDSON

• Accounts and Office Manager – Auckland 
• Tammy.davidson@csproducts.co.nz
• 0800 267 246

I come from a country where our President has 21 children and just as many wives… if you guessed South Africa, you guessed correctly. I live a double agent life: developing a professional career with Connect Security Products on one hand and being a mom on the other. This means I have extensive experience in negotiating with a toddler, jumping on the trampoline and reciting the first two lines of nursery rhymes – along with managing accounts and office duties. I have over ten years’ experience as a Bookkeeper/Office Manager for companies whose operations range from Financial to Mining and am enjoying being based in New Zealand with Connect Security Products.

JASON THOMAS

• Warehouse Manager – Auckland
• Jason.thomas@csproducts.co.nz 
• 0800 267 246

I began working with Connect Security Systems (then Detection Systems) in 1998, when I had a full head of hair – diagnosed at birth as a ginger, I am not sure there is a known cure. Starting as a packing boy with general duties, I worked for EDM NZ Ltd, then Bosch Security Systems, and now manage logistics and stores at CSP. Raised in South Auckland, I have resided in West Auckland for over ten years where I have one wife, four children, six grandchildren and six goldfish. I am an avid V8 supercars fan but wherever possible, my interest goes into two-wheeled machines. I inherited a Yamaha Virago 1100 and am the proud owner of a 350w E-bike: no more Auckland parking means I am never late to work (apart from the odd flat tyre).

MIKAYLA MACKIE

• Marketing and Administrative Assistant
• Mikayla.mackie@csproducts.co.nz 
• 0800 267 246

I am currently studying a conjoint degree of a Bachelor of Communications majoring in Journalism and a Bachelor of Business double majoring in Economics and Finance at Auckland University of Technology. I began working at Connect Security Products during my first year of university and have enjoyed learning about the integration of social media into a business and the ways to advance social media presence to better our engagement with customers. In my spare time I train in kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and am a big UFC fan!

VICKI WOOLLEY

• General Manager – Auckland
• Vicki.woolley@csproducts.co.nz
• 0210 379 271

I have had the privilege to work for several reputable companies, both in New Zealand and overseas. A lengthy employ with the Goodman Fielder Wattie group schooled me in accounting and finance, and left me with a lifetime love of fresh ice-cream. PricewaterhouseCoopers in London introduced me to the install and application of large enterprise resource planning systems such as Oracle. Returning to New Zealand, I worked for Connect Security Products on and off for six years before permanently committing to a role as General Manager. My life is filled with many loves; my two beautiful boys, ridiculously cute dog, my job… and running in New Zealand’s stunning backcountry.

JASON MACKIE

• Chief Executive Officer
• Jason.mackie@csproducts.co.nz
• 021 527 525

I have been actively involved in the electronic security industry since 1992, after completing an apprenticeship as an electrician. My career commenced when I started an electronic security integration company at aged 20 before selling it to a national integrator and moving to Auckland to start Security Systems, importing and distributing Detection Systems product. This company was partially acquired by Detections Systems in 1999, and subsequently Bosch in 2001. Between 2001-2010, I managed the Bosch Security business in New Zealand and was appointed a director for the entire Robert Bosch business in this country. In 2010 I acquired the business back from Bosch and Connect Security Products was born.
