Deborah Ainscough
Founder
As the founder of Crowdguard, Deborah Ainscough set out to improve installation standards within the temporary Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) industry, leveraging strong connections with market-leading installation companies to build a business rooted in quality, reliability, and safety. Since establishing Crowdguard in 2019, Deborah has been the visionary driving the company’s mission to protect people and places through innovative, process-driven HVM solutions.
Recognising a critical need for higher standards in the installation and management of temporary HVM systems, Deborah founded Crowdguard to challenge industry norms and raise the bar for how these vital safety measures are delivered and maintained. Her approach blends practical expertise with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring every project meets exacting safety requirements.
At the heart of Crowdguard’s success is Deborah’s commitment to a family driven culture and a clear set of core values: teamwork, integrity, commitment, attention to detail, fairness, and hard work. These values aren’t just words, they shape the way every member of the Crowdguard team approaches their work and the clients they serve.
Under Deborah’s leadership, Crowdguard has become synonymous with professionalism and trust across the UK, working closely with venues, local authorities, event organisers, and other stakeholders to deliver tailored HVM solutions that protect lives and property.
Her vision is clear: to make public spaces safer by providing innovative, reliable, and proportionate temporary HVM installations that are an integral part of any comprehensive security strategy.
