Jason Towse, managing director, business services, Mitie, said: “As the UK’s largest security provider, we know the best way to create safe and secure environments is by combining the power of our technology with the deep expertise of our people, to deliver real time intelligence. With the industry continuing to evolve at high speed and new legislation on the horizon, in welcoming the Linx Group – and their extensive experience and expertise in delivering world class risk management, consulting and security training – to the Mitie family, we’re further developing our risk management offering.”

David Gill, managing director, Linx International Group, added: “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.”
