Stephen G. Leighton, President and Founder of Leighton Security Management Recognized for Growing Company. Says More Growth, More Jobs, on the Way.

In an economy where jobs are scarce and business is flat, one Florida business owner is working to change the odds. Leighton Security Management founder Stephen G. Leighton hasn't let go of the American dream. In fact, Leighton is building on that dream one brick at a time.

West Palm Beach, FL, February 05, 2012 --(PR.com)-- It always starts as an idea drafted on a piece of paper at a simple location that someday people would be talking about. For Stephen G. Leighton, that time is now.

Leighton, President and Founder of Leighton Security Management, a private security firm, has been awarded the “2011 Entreprenuer of the Year” award by the Jensen Beach Chamber of Commerce. The reason is obvious. The one man company that started at Leighton’s kitchen table four years ago is now a fast growing, highly recognized firm that has tripled in size and is set to expand again paving the way for more available private sector jobs. “It’s been incredible to watch Leighton Security Management grow to the level that it has and to have the ability to put people back to work feels right and is very gratifying,” says Leighton. “I never expected to be recognized for something I have a passion for doing, but I will humbly accept this honor with a great deal of gratitude to my employees who are the backbone of my success.”

Leighton Security Management offers a broad range of private safety and security services ranging from a strong visible security outreach to more discrete and confidential security details. His distinctive crosshair target logo covers numerous vehicles which can be seen patrolling plazas and private communities throughout the area. The more discrete security details are kept very private, just as the clients typically request. “We provide security regardless of whether the client wants visible presence or discrete security,” says Leighton. “I know my dedicated team provides top notch service and we take pride in doing our jobs.”

Leighton Security Management started in Stuart Florida expanding into Clewiston, Jacksonville, and Sebring. Plans to open an office in Venice, California will be finalized by the end of the first quarter. Another office in Atlanta will open by the end of the fourth quarter. “It won’t be the last. I expect we will be opening new offices throughout the country in the future,” says Leighton.

The private security industry is a multi-billion dollar industry with more than 10,000 firms which employ 2-million people nationwide.
