Empire – whose customers include Experian, Imperial Tobacco, Queens Arcade Shopping Centre, Homebase and CWS – was set up eight years ago. The yearly increase is the largest the company has experienced since it began offering tailored guarding and added value service packages to commercial and retail clients.
Wayne Howis, chairman of Empire Security, told SMT: "The company’s success reflects our commitment to continually improving quality of service. Our officers are highly trained, and have well defined career paths."
