RMS Group Services, security systems specialists, and the Mount Charles Group, catering and support solutions provider, have jointly invested over £250,000 to create the new company, creating 35 jobs to date.
The company, which aims to achieve £1m in annualised revenue by the end of 2015, has already secured a number of important contracts, including Titanic Belfast and global outsourcing company Teleperformance.
Chairman of the Mount Charles Group, Trevor Annon, said: “I am delighted to announce this joint venture, for which we have ambitions to become the number one security services firm in Ireland.
“The project came about in response to a rapidly increasing demand from our clients for multi or ‘bundled’ service contracts. We already deliver catering, cleaning, retail and vending contracts to a vast range of public and private sector clients across Ireland. The one thing we couldn’t supply, until now, was security services, hence the new venture.
“It was an easy decision to partner with RMS Group – as another locally owned company, they have a similar ethos of excellence and integrity, and crucially, they have significant expertise in the security field.
“Combining our expertise in this way will undoubtedly enable us to better compete in a very competitive market and will support the ongoing growth and expansion of both businesses.”
The Mount Charles Group employs over 1,600 staff across Ireland and Great Britain.
