Veteran expertise drives security success at ILRS

Central London-based security company InLine Risk Solutions (ILRS) is drawing on the skills and experience of former Armed Forces personnel to protect some of the capital and South East’s most prestigious properties.

The company provides security services across residential, commercial and pre-development sites, with more than £2 billion in client assets and over 100 million sq. ft of property currently under its protection.

Military experience plays a central role within the business. ILRS’s management team has more than 300 years of combined military and civilian security experience, while all of its senior leaders and many of its security officers have served in the British Army.

Since 2017, the company has employed more than 350 veterans, offering former Service personnel the opportunity to transfer qualities including discipline, professionalism, leadership and operational awareness into civilian security careers.

All ILRS security personnel are SIA licensed and fully vetted in accordance with BS7858 standards. Front-line staff are supported by an operations team that proactively manages issues and provides assistance around the clock.

Before mobilising its services, the company conducts detailed risk assessments and develops operating procedures tailored to the needs of each client. Its services include manned guarding, cameras and alarms, physical security measures and security consultancy.

ILRS says its approach is underpinned by four core values: integrity, respect, professionalism and accountability. These principles are intended to ensure clear communication, strong standards of conduct and effective lines of responsibility throughout the organisation.

The company’s continued employment of veterans demonstrates the valuable contribution that former Armed Forces personnel can make to the private security sector, where their experience of working under pressure, assessing risk and maintaining high professional standards is particularly relevant.
