Securitas acquires MK Group Security
04 September 2018
SECURITAS SECURITY Services UK Ltd (Securitas) has purchased Milton Keynes Security Services Ltd and its associated companies and will transition into trading under the Securitas brand before the end of 2018.

MK Group Security, founded in 1992, supplies security services in Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas. With more than 90 employees, specialising in both static and mobile security services, MK Group Security operates from its operations hub in Milton Keynes, with a strong focus on the SME market.
Securitas is the leading global security services provider, specialising in protective services built on people, technology and knowledge, and operating in 58 markets worldwide.
In the UK no other security provider layers six Protective Services: On-site, Mobile, Remote, Electronic security, Fire & Safety and Corporate Risk Management to offer intelligent, value driven, total security solutions to its clients.
The acquisition of Milton Keynes Security Services Ltd further strengthens the portfolio of Securitas UK, as it continues to build its electronic alarm surveillance services and mobile security services for small and medium-sized businesses across the UK, as part of its Vision 2020 strategy.
Peter Watson, Managing Director, MK Group Security commented “This is a fantastic opportunity for MK Group Security, for our officers and for our clients - Securitas is a leading global player in the security industry and there are huge opportunities for development and growth.”
