Securitas Technology, a global provider of integrated security systems has launched, bringing together STANLEY Security and Securitas’ electronic security operations under a new name.
The announcement comes after Securitas’ acquisition of STANLEY Security in July 2022.
Securitas Technology Global President, Tony Byerly commented: “We’re thrilled to officially launch Securitas Technology and share with clients the tremendous value we bring as a security partner. We have three distinct advantages as a global provider: our people, technology and knowledge. I’m incredibly proud of the organisation we’re building together and the rich history and deep industry expertise that help make us a leader in the market.”
Securitas Technology employs approximately 13,000 people across the globe, including more than 5,100 field technicians, with over 500 colleagues in the UK.
The business serves organisations of all types, sizes and varying security risks. Its customisable solutions – including a full suite of video, access, intrusion, fire and integrated systems and services – are designed to adapt and expand in line with organisations’ evolving security needs.
UK Commercial Leader, Vincent Poty said: “With Securitas Technology, we are creating something different and unique in electronic security. It reflects our sense of service, technology expertise and capacity for innovation, that together will support our clients in a changing world.”
Byerly added: “Our purpose to help make the world a safer place remains, and that starts with ensuring clients are at the heart of all we do. As a fully integrated business focused on security technology, we are well-positioned to unlock even more value for our clients – whether they’re local, regional, national or global and have a single site to secure or need a complex and comprehensive multisite enterprise security program.”
With the current economic crisis resulting in higher prices and more of a squeeze on resources, FMs need to ensure that they have robust building and maintenance services in place to control costs and reduce the need for emergency repairs. When it comes to drainage and plumbing there are also the challenges of dealing with extreme weather, from droughts to flooding, the need to meet stringent regulations and to avoid causing environmental damage.
UK drainage specialist, Metro Rod, has launched a survey which explores the main areas of interest for FMs in maintaining drainage and plumbing, including how they currently assess their supply chains to ensure they’re working with partners that meet the highest possible standards and provide value for money.
The results will be published online so that you can see how you compare to others within the sector.
The survey should take just 5-10 minutes of your time, and as a thank you, you will be entered into a prize draw, where one lucky winner will be picked at random to receive a £100 Amazon voucher.
