Allied Universal, a renowned security and facility services company in North America, honors and supports all members of the military not just on Veterans Day this November but each and every day.

"While many businesses talk the talk about why military veterans are important hires, the physical security sector actually walks the walk,” said Steve Jones, Chairman & CEO of Allied Universal. “We honor and appreciate the sacrifices made by our nations’ military and we constantly seek out ways to show that appreciation each and every day.”

"I am honored to be able to offer my skills I learned in the military in order to enhance the company’s risk advisory programs and initiatives.”

Allied Universal recently received the Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans Gold Medallion Award through HIREvet.com for the company’s exemplary efforts to recruit, employ, and retain the nation’s veterans.
