Gina Field, founder of Nepean Regional Security, was featured in Nepean News’ Local Ladies Leading International Women’s Day showcase, recognising her achievements in a traditionally male-dominated industry, her award-winning business and her contribution to the local community.
Gina Field is a shining example of a woman determined to break down gender barriers and not only succeed but to become one of the best in a male-dominated industry. Starting her own security company 28 years ago in a home-based business with only one employee, Nepean Regional Security is now one of the most recognised and awarded security companies in the State.
Winning over 30 industry awards including an International business award and the NSW Business Woman of the Year, Gina has featured on TV business programs, radio, newspapers, magazines and is a regular column writer for Nepean News, aptly called the “Left of Field” (currently 6 years).
Now employing over 30 FTE personnel, Nepean Regional Security has been successful in Local, State and Federal Government Tenders and being able to be on the Whole of Government preferred supplier panel.
As well as running her 24/7 365 days a year business, Gina has an interest in motivating other small business groups. She supports shopping and employing locally, whilst encouraging women to make the career change to the security industry. In her spare time she does security awareness talks through various events and local schools. She has been an inspiration in business and was called a “Tycoon” in business by the Sunday Telegraph.
