Aegis Support Services invests in new security control centre as part of its growth plans

National security and facilities management firm, Aegis Support Services, has opened its new security control and training centre in Milton Keynes as part of its ongoing growth plans.

The new centre, based on The Parks Trust site in Wolverton, Milton Keynes, provides the business with further room for expansion and will include new cutting-edge, cloud-based alarm technology and enhanced monitoring capabilities, enabling them to offer lone worker checks for other companies, panic alarm response, gate and barrier control services.

The firm’s sister company, Aegis Training, will also operate its largest training facility from the new site, equipped with a café, and free parking, and will see the team deliver a wide range of training courses from the premises including door supervisor, security officer and CCTV courses for students and trainees, and for Aegis Support Services’ directly employed team.

The launch of the new centre follows new investment in the team with Darren Austin joining as national head of operations earlier this year and a recent appointment to the Crescent Purchasing Consortium framework which helps educational institutions to procure security services.

Qadeer Qureshi, CEO, commented: “We have seen strong growth across our security services division and the investment in our new control centre represents a key step in our development and is part of our commitment to continue to deliver high-quality and value-for-money security and FM services to our clients across the UK. The new premises provide us with room to continue to grow our team and capabilities, brings new technological advancements to our business and will see us continue to bring teams together from across Aegis Support Services and Aegis Training for the benefit of our clients. The space will also provide an excellent working environment for our people and help us to attract new talent to the business.”
