In 2001 Derek retired from the Police and joined Lilly’s global product protection team, a ten strong unit located strategically worldwide. It is made up of ex-law enforcement officers with backgrounds similar to Derek’s.
Derek is currently the regional manager of Lilly global product protection team for EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa region).
