Who Are We
Founded in 1859, The Corps of Commissionaires Management Limited, now Corps Security, was a business initially built to provide employment for ex-servicemen on return from the Crimean War.
By sticking true to our values of ‘loyalty, integrity, service’, we have become the UK’s most established and respected specialist security services provider.
Corps Security is a recognised Living Wage Foundation service provider. We advocate for fair pay and working conditions for security colleagues and know the difference these can make to the lives of our people. We have bold targets in this area and are firm in our commitment to ensure all our colleagues earn a real living wage.
We are a Social Enterprise
Corps deliver more than simply security; we have a clear social mission – to provide rewarding employment to those who need it. We bring over 160 years of proven social value and are the only major social enterprise in our sector.
Our special Trust based structure means we are free to adjust the way our business works, for the benefit of our colleagues, our customers and our communities. With no shareholders, any profits generated by our activities are either reinvested back into our business and our people or are donated to one of our charity partners like Combat Stress.
We are Corps Together
Our objective at Corps Security is for our colleagues to embrace all dimensions of ED&I, and to make the organisation a welcoming environment in which to work, network, and to prepare both our leaders, and future leaders to better serve the needs of our diverse community. We purposefully and intentionally practice inclusive excellence, creating safe spaces where colleagues, no matter how they identify, or celebrate their uniqueness, will always have an opportunity to be heard, supported, and valued as a member of our family.
Corps Together ensures this information, along with our advocacy work and the creation of our EDI Staff networks, is open and fully available to our colleagues.
Social Values
It’s not just our compliance with industry standards that provides assurance; our continued recognition across our industry proves we are a business focused on doing the right thing.
Real Living Wage
As a real Living Wage recognised service provider, Corps Security is committed to paying people in low paid sectors a real Living Wage.
Veteran Support
Corps is proud to provide employment to veterans and this is recognised by achieving the MOD’s Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Gold Award.
