What Aegis Support Services does

Aegis Support Services is a privately held UK security and facilities management provider, legally registered as AEGIS GROUP OF COMPANIES LIMITED and headquartered in Luton. Founded in 2001 originally as a parking enforcement business, the company has since evolved into a national integrator of security services (manned guarding, mobile patrols, keyholding and alarm response, canine security, CCTV and alarm monitoring, concierge, education-sector security, waking watch, and emergency guard cover) and facilities management services (contract cleaning, property services, fire asset inspections, passive fire safety, electrical services, locksmith services, vacant property inspections, emergency boarding, concrete barriers, waste management, and education catering). It serves 600+ clients across education, healthcare/NHS, property and real estate, construction, hospitality and events, warehousing and distribution, and automotive testing. GTM is direct enterprise and inside sales via six UK regional offices (Luton, Milton Keynes, Manchester, Cardiff, Glasgow, London) with content marketing, community engagement and event-driven demand generation supporting lead capture. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to client requirements under recurring monthly/annual contracts, with one usage-based stream for flexible labour supply.

The underlying technology platform centres on a 24/7 in-house Security Control Centre at the Milton Keynes office, acquired in 2021 from an Alarm Receiving Centre (ACR) and now offering cloud-based alarm monitoring, lone-worker checks, panic alarm response and gate/barrier control. Mobile patrols are executed using a GPS-tracked, ultra-low-emission hybrid/Euro-6 vehicle fleet with route-optimisation software, and clients receive real-time KPI reporting on guard and FM staff movements and performance across single or multiple sites. Rapid-deployment CCTV, tower and perimeter intrusion detection (PID) systems extend the technology offering into monitored, battery- or solar-powered deployments.

The business operates as part of Aegis Group of Companies, which also owns the Aegis Training academy (in-house SIA-licensed, BS7858-vetted training in safeguarding, first aid and conflict management) and, since 2025, Aegis Protection Security in Dubai (UAE), marking the company's first international expansion. No external funding rounds, institutional investors or PE ownership are disclosed; growth has been funded organically and through one acquisition. The leadership team is founder-led: Group CEO Qadeer Qureshi, Group CFO Faz Ahmed, COO Tariq Khalil and a six-person senior team, supported by six regional offices across England, Scotland, Wales and Dubai.
