UK-based security services provider, Aegis Support Services, has launched in Dubai marking another significant milestone in the company’s growth strategy, following its move to open offices across the UK in Cardiff, Manchester, and Glasgow in 2024. The move is part of the business’s plans to build capability and provide security services to more clients in key global locations, with the business operating under the name Aegis Protection Security in Dubai.
The Dubai team will offer a comprehensive range of specialist security and support services. These include manned guarding, security patrolling, CCTV surveillance, event security, as well as additional support services such as receptionist and lifeguard services. All services will be provided by directly employed, local, and highly trained security personnel.
As part of the move, Aegis Protection Security has secured a Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA) Certification, issued by the Dubai government, for products and services in the security industry. This certification aims to ensure that providers meet specific safety and quality standards. The business has also joined the British Chamber of Commerce Dubai to enable it to access additional local support and connect with the local business community.
Qadeer Qureshi, CEO of Aegis Group of Companies, commented: “Our launch in Dubai represents a pivotal step in our growth journey and an exciting new chapter for our company. Dubai’s dynamic and rapidly expanding market places a high value on physical security, which is crucial for safeguarding people, premises, and assets. We are eager to bring our extensive experience and expertise to organisations in Dubai, offering high-quality services and excellent value for money. With our strong connections to organisations operating in both Dubai and the UK, we have already made significant strides in establishing our local presence.”
Katy Holmes, CEO of British Chamber of Commerce Dubai, added: “Aegis Protection Security’s market entry is timely and their approach suits the market as they have worked diligently on building relationships and understanding the nuances of the region. We are delighted to be a part of their strategy for exposure and recognition in the UAE.”
