Based in Lanarkshire, the Security Control Centre will provide first class support and act as a central intelligence resource ensuring the smooth running of Europa’s security contracts.

In addition it will deliver innovation through technology in providing a fully integrated security solution to clients whilst also acting as a crisis management facility in the event of major incidents that could potentially impact on clients both in the UK and globally.

Ian Pugh, Europa Head of Security UK & Ireland, said: “The Security Control Centre will form a crucial part of Europa’s security strategy and further compliment the growth of our service offering by providing full 24hr operational support to our managers and site based security teams.”

Europa also became a member of the International Professional Security Association (IPSA) in July 2012.
