Amulet Security

What Amulet Security does

Amulet Security is a UK-based intelligence-led security services provider founded in 2018 and headquartered in Luton, operating as the specialist security division of Churchill Services Group. The company delivers a portfolio combining personnel security services (SIA-licensed manned guarding, mobile patrols, event security, canine services, close protection, guest services), remote monitoring and response, and security systems and technology (CCTV, access control, intruder alarms, automatic vehicle barriers). It serves enterprise and public-sector clients across rail and transport (Northern Trains, c2c, Chiltern Railways, DLR, Avanti West Coast, Transport for Greater Manchester), national infrastructure and government (Greater London Authority, Bank of England, City Security Council), media and entertainment (a major UK Film Studio, ZSL London Zoo, Royal Opera House, Millennium Point), corporate real estate (The Arch Company), and education (University of Law).

The technology stack centres on the Command, Control and Intelligence Centre (CCIC) hosted at The Senate Group's National Operations Centre, the Project Blueprint situational-awareness platform licensed exclusively from Airbox Systems, a proprietary Technical Services Client Portal for asset management, and a Mobile Command Centre integrating fixed, temporary, and drone-based CCTV feeds with intelligent video analytics and thermal imaging. The RSAS Plus training programme — 19 modules co-developed with JRC Training and validated by Cambridge University research — is now delivered to both Amulet's own officers and external security companies across five train operating companies. Amulet holds SIA Approved Contractor Status (scoring 168/174, top 5% of UK providers), NSI Gold, RSAS accreditation from British Transport Police, and White Ribbon accreditation.

Amulet generates revenue through multi-year managed-service contracts and professional services engagements, secured primarily via competitive tender and direct enterprise field sales to government bodies, rail operators, and corporate clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based per contract. The company grew revenue from £12M in 2018 to £60M in 2023 (a 5x increase) and headcount from 480 to 2,400 over the same period, achieving a 98% customer retention rate. In 2023, the business transitioned to an Employee-Owned Trust under the Churchill Services Group parent, making it one of the larger employee-owned security operators in the UK.
