MiTec, UK’s new hi-tech security hub, which provides advanced security to businesses to protect their personnel and premises through a suite of services, has opened in Craigavon, Northern Ireland.
The services offered include 24-hour remote monitoring of sites and buildings, lone worker protection and real time vehicle tracking, all with close co-operation with the police and other emergency services.
The centre, which has created 38 new jobs in Northern Ireland, has been built by MITIE, a FTSE 250 strategic outsourcing and energy services company, which has itself invested more than £2m in its development.
The new centre was opened by MITIE CEO Ruby McGregor-Smith, and InvestNI chief executive Alastair Hamilton, Northern Ireland’s economic development agency.
MiTec provides real time response to incidents via ‘call outs’ to local police forces and its mobile security personnel.
The company said that the new centre has been designed to BS 5979 Category II standards and is protected by high tensile steel walls and vibration detectors throughout.
Smith said MiTec is an advanced security centre operating to world-class standards and allows us to protect our clients’ properties, information and personnel in the most cost effective way.
