I recently had the pleasure of working with Haley Glover, Senior Security Advisor at Sapphire Risk Advisory Group, for our Lady L Cannabis micro business dispensary in Jersey City, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. From our first interaction, it was clear that Haley is not only an expert in her field but also deeply committed to her clients’ needs. Her competence and flexibility were evident as she tailored security solutions specifically to the unique challenges we faced in the cannabis industry. What impressed me the most was her collaborative approach; she took the time to listen to our concerns and worked closely with us to develop a comprehensive security strategy. Haley’s attentive and customer-centric mindset made the entire process seamless and reassuring. In a complex and ever-evolving sector like cannabis, having someone like Haley guiding us is invaluable. If you are in need of top-notch security advisory services, I highly recommend working with her. She truly is a solution expert, and her dedication to her clients is unmatched!"
