About Reliance Security Group Ltd
Until the end of 2010, Reliance was an established market leader in the provision of manpower and electronic security solutions, facilities management and business process outsourcing. It employed 13,000 people from a network of offices throughout the UK. On 10 November 2010, Reliance sold the whole of its interests in manpower services and mobile response to Securitas AB, one of the largest global providers of security solutions. It remains, however, a UK market leader in the provision of electronic security solutions, facilities management and specialist business process outsourcing.
“The working environment is fast paced and high pressure, but there are always people to answer questions”
“I joined the graduate recruitment scheme four years ago. This gave me six months each with the four main departments of HR, Finance, Operations and Sales. I also had a lot of management development training, which I found very useful as my degree is in history –not the most commercially focused subject!
“For the last two years I’ve been working towards my CIPD HR qualification, and again I’ve had lots of help and support including funding. The working environment here is fast paced and high pressure, but there are always people to answer questions and assist you.”
Tom Venn, HR department, four years with Reliance
