Our Ongoing Commitment to the Security Sector
The acquisition underpins our commitment to strengthening the capabilities needed to meet future changes in the industry and new legislation, such as Martyn’s Law which is particularly close to our heart, here at Mitie. Martyn Hett was just 29 years old when he lost his life, alongside 22 other people at the Ariana Grande concert, in the Manchester Arena on 22 May 2017. His mother, Figen Murray, OBE has campaigned tirelessly for stronger protections against terrorism in public places, an initiative we passionately support. Please keep an eye on my LinkedIn for additional articles and comment about this in the coming weeks.
David Gill, Managing Director, Linx International Group, said:
“Mitie’s acquisition of the Linx Group is extremely positive and exciting for both Mitie and Linx International. Integrating Linx’s consulting and training expertise into Mitie’s intelligence-led security division will create an unrivalled service offering for clients. Linx’s extensive experience in fraud investigation, commercial malpractice and crisis management response will strengthen Mitie’s position in the marketplace. The accredited security management and technical training and vocational programmes available through Linx International will supply much needed skills within the industry to meet ever changing future trends.”
