The security business of MITIE, the outsourcing company, has changed its name to MITIE Total Security Management.
It’s one of the UK’s largest security contractors, with 12,000 people protecting the premises and personnel of 4,000 clients at some 10,000 sites in the UK and Europe. According to the company its new name reflects its integrated approach to security provision, via its consultancy, innovation and delivery model.
Bob Forsyth, managing director, said: “Total security management has been our ethos for over a year now; taking our clients’ risks and threats into consideration and moving away from the traditional commoditised approach and using innovation at every opportunity.
We are making a step change in the security industry with TSM and our belief in this approach is so strong we have changed our name.”
MITIE last year formed a security risk and business resilience team. It has appointed Brett Lovegrove, former head of counter-terrorism at the City of London Police, as a strategic advisor for to the business and for MITIE TSM clients. In mid-April as featured in the May issue of Professional Security, the company opened a multi-million centre, MiTec, in Northern Ireland, pictured.
