Securitas UK and Hays Travel are proud to celebrate over 10 years of working together to deliver safe, secure, and welcoming environments across Hays Travel’s nationwide network of retail branches. Since 2015, Securitas has been a trusted security partner to Hays Travel, providing a tailored service that supports the company’s commitment to customer service. From alarm response to mobile patrols, the partnership has evolved to meet the changing needs of the UK’s largest independent travel agent. Range of scenarios The partnership supports over 530 locations across the UK with alarm response. It ensures that out of hours, or when buildings are vacant and there are incidents such as an intruder, the alarm response results in an emergency key holder attending the site and resolving the incident. This could be a wide range of scenarios, including a break-in, a false alarm due to something being left unattended on the premises, or the site requiring maintenance and repair, as the result of an incident. With a deep and expansive UK estate, Hays Travel chose Securitas for its self-delivery model—free from third-party involvement. It ensures a consistent, high-quality service across all client sites. Supported by a nationwide network of branch managers it enables the delivery of tailored solutions with speed, accountability and local expertise. Trust, innovation, and shared values Rapid response across Hays Travel’s UK estates to callouts enables clients to maintain staff productivity, reduce operational disruptions, and achieve cost savings. By responding swiftly to alarm activation, not only is it a theft deterrent but also mitigates insurance liabilities, through reliable out-of-hours coverage. Securitas has played a key role in developing onsite behavioral analysis, helping teams better understand patterns, enhance safety, and improve response strategies. Alex Davis, Chief Commercial Officer, Securitas UK said, “We are delighted to mark this milestone with Hays Travel. Over the past decade, our teams have built a strong, collaborative relationship rooted in trust, innovation, and shared values. It’s been a privilege to support Hays Travel’s growth and success.” High standards of safety and service Peter Robinson, Head of Property at Hays Travel, said, “Our trusted partnership with Securitas has helped us to maintain high standards of safety and service across our retail estate. We are committed to caring for our people, customers and the communities where we operate and Securitas has been instrumental in us achieving this." “Their professionalism, responsiveness, and understanding of our business have made a real difference. We look forward to continuing this journey together.” The partnership will continue to focus on delivering value through smart security solutions that support Hays Travel in making travel accessible, enjoyable, and safe for all.
Securitas Technology, the world’s pioneering commercial electronic security company, selected the Gary Sinise Foundation as its charity of choice during the Global Security Exchange Conference (GSX) in September 2025. Securitas Technology team members were on hand to present a check to the leadership of the Gary Sinise Foundation at their headquarters in Franklin, Tennessee. The Foundation, established in 2011 by actor and humanitarian Gary Sinise, serves and honors veterans, first responders, and their families, received a significant donation from Securitas Technology, driven by the number of visitors who engaged with the company’s booth during the event. The initiative reflects the company’s broader commitment to social responsibility and its purpose to help make the world a safer place. Values of integrity, vigilance, and helpfulness “At Securitas Technology, our purpose is to help make your world a safer place — and that includes supporting those who dedicate their lives to protecting others,” said Tony Byerly, Global President & CEO, Securitas Technology. “We’re honored to contribute to the Gary Sinise Foundation and the incredible work they do for our nation’s heroes.” The response from GSX attendees was a key driver of the donation. “Our conversations with attendees at GSX 2025 were inspiring,” Byerly added. “It was a powerful reminder of how our industry can come together to make a meaningful impact beyond business — and we’re proud to turn that engagement into action.” This effort underscores Securitas Technology’s values of integrity, vigilance, and helpfulness, and highlights the company’s belief that safety is not only about technology — it’s about people, purpose, and community.
