Our security journey: From local beginnings to national leadership
The story began in 2000 when Securitas AB acquired Burns Security, paving the way for the company’s entry into the Irish market. Backed by the strength and global expertise of the Securitas Group, Securitas Ireland quickly established itself as a leader in professional security services.
Speaking on the milestone, Ray Hoare, Country President of Securitas Ireland, said:
“This anniversary is a testament to the resilience, dedication, and professionalism of our team. For 25 years, we’ve adapted to meet the evolving security needs of our clients while staying true to our values of Integrity, Vigilance, and Helpfulness. We’re proud of what we’ve built and excited for what lies ahead.”
Strategic growth in security services & technology
Over the past quarter-century, Securitas Ireland has expanded its capabilities through strategic acquisitions, including the ISS Security division and Stanley Security. These integrations have strengthened the company’s portfolio, particularly in electronic security systems, positioning Securitas Ireland as a leader in both talent and technology.
Shane Lambert, Chief Financial Officer of Securitas Ireland, added:
“Marking 25 years isn’t just about looking back—it’s about recognising the foundations that will drive us forward. Our investment in smart security solutions, people development, and sustainable business practices positions us strongly for continued growth in the Irish market.”
The last decade has seen the security industry in Ireland evolve from a reactive to a proactive approach—driven largely by technological innovation. In the past, grainy black-and-white CCTV cameras with bulky housings were standard. Today, advanced security tools such as patrolling robotics, drones, and 4K live video feeds are transforming how we protect people and property.
As risks and threats evolve, so too does Securitas Ireland’s approach—continuously adapting to deliver smarter, more effective security solutions.
Commitment to client care, innovation, and community safety
A forward-thinking approach has always been at the heart of Securitas Ireland’s success. The company remains committed to embracing new technologies to deliver superior protection. Today, Securitas Ireland serves a wide range of clients—from SMEs to pharmaceutical companies, data centres, financial institutions, and critical infrastructure providers—always prioritising client care and operational excellence.
With a nationwide team of over 1,200 security professionals, Securitas Ireland is dedicated to developing talent, supporting local communities, and creating safer environments. Looking ahead, the company will continue to focus on innovation, sustainability, and strong partnerships—driving forward its purpose: to make your world a safer place.
