Pan-European security services provider, The Clearway Group, has expanded its technology capabilities with the acquisition of independent technology business LociLabs Limited, which specialises in software architecture and development and the launch of its in-house Innovation Team, Clearway Labs.
Headquartered in London, Clearway delivers solutions that are tailored to its customers’ needs, utilising an extensive range of specialist services integrated with market-leading technology. Clearway’s critical technology-led security solutions include temporary, mobile and fixed CCTV and alarms, wearable safety solutions and PPE monitoring – coupled with its NSI Gold CAT II Alarm Receiving Centre, to monitor, secure and protect people, properties and assets. Employing over 500 people, Clearway has pan-European operations across the UK, France and Germany.
The introduction of Clearway Labs enables Clearway to offer a suite of IoT devices alongside development, project management, and consultancy services. Custom models can be used in applications across practically all sectors, from transportation to finance, healthcare to education, and hospitality to construction, turning unstructured data from cameras into structured, actionable insights. Clearway Labs AI models interpret this data, providing valuable reports designed to help mitigate risk and monitor safety and compliance, helping its customers better protect their people, property and assets.
The combination of existing Clearway industry knowledge coupled with the LociLabs’ wealth of development and AI (Artificial Intelligence) experience gives Clearway the ability to provide and assist with the practical application of solutions alongside commercial, regulatory and security matters.

Our deep understanding of computer vision AI and machine learning will give Clearway a significant competitive advantage. I’m excited about the future and the impact we’ll make alongside the exceptional Clearway team.”
