Aegis Support Services has expanded its operations into Dubai, marking the latest stage of the company’s international growth plans. The move follows its UK office openings in Cardiff, Manchester and Glasgow in 2024. The Dubai business will operate under the name Aegis Protection Security.
The new operation will deliver a broad range of security and support services, including manned guarding, patrolling, CCTV monitoring and event security. Additional functions such as receptionist support and lifeguard services will also be available. All roles will be carried out by locally employed and trained personnel.
Aegis Protection Security has obtained Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA) Certification as part of its entry into the UAE market. The certification, issued by the Dubai government, is required for approved security providers and reflects compliance with local regulatory standards. The company has also joined the British Chamber of Commerce Dubai to support business engagement within the region.
Qadeer Qureshi, CEO of Aegis Group of Companies, commented: “Our launch in Dubai represents a pivotal step in our growth journey and an exciting new chapter for our company. Dubai’s dynamic and rapidly expanding market places a high value on physical security, which is crucial for safeguarding people, premises, and assets. We are eager to bring our extensive experience and expertise to organizations in Dubai, offering high-quality services and excellent value for money. With our strong connections to organizations operating in both Dubai and the UK, we have already made significant strides in establishing our local presence.”
Katy Holmes, CEO of British Chamber of Commerce Dubai, added: “Aegis Protection Security’s market entry is timely and their approach suits the market as they have worked diligently on building relationships and understanding the nuances of the region. We are delighted to be a part of their strategy for exposure and recognition in the UAE.”
The Dubai launch forms part of Aegis Support Services’ broader plan to increase its presence in key international markets.
