GGL Security, an international security company with headquarters in Limerick City, has announced its acquisition of the security business of Securikey Ltd, a company also based in the Mid West of Ireland.

This synergy combines a strong presence on the ground with a high end monitoring and command centre offering electronic installers across the Mid-West and Nationwide a robust flexible solution to assist in monitoring their connections and offer a wider solution to their end users.”
Securikey Ltd was formed in 2001 to meet the growing demand for high caliber security personnel. The security business, which includes on-site risk management officers, has grown in this time to become the approved provider of security services to government, financial, local authorities and multi-nationals nationwide.
