Professional Security expands into Ireland, strengthening Fullerton Group’s presence

Professional Security expands into Ireland, strengthening Fullerton Group’s presence 

Professional Security, part of Fullerton Group, has launched operations in Ireland, expanding its ability to support clients across both the UK and Irish markets. 

The move reflects the continued growth of Professional Security and the evolving needs of clients operating across multiple locations, many of whom require a consistent security partner across their UK and Ireland portfolios. 

Supporting clients across both markets 

Professional Security provides specialist security services across hospitality, retail and leisure, commercial environments, major events and stadia. 

Its expansion into Ireland will enable the business to support existing clients as their operations grow, while building new relationships with Irish organisations seeking an experienced security partner. 

Services will be delivered through locally recruited teams, supported by experienced operational leadership and the wider infrastructure of Fullerton Group. 

Local delivery, backed by Group strength 

Professional Security will initially focus on Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick, supporting clients through experienced local leadership and locally recruited security professionals. 

The operation will be led by Lenny Cunningham, Head of Operations for the North West and Ireland, alongside Jordan Efobi, Operations Manager for the North West and Ireland, and Bradley Byrne, Area Manager for Ireland. 

Together, they will develop client relationships, oversee operational delivery and create opportunities for security professionals within local communities. 

As part of Fullerton Group, Professional Security also benefits from shared capabilities across recruitment, compliance, training, technology and operational support, providing the infrastructure needed to build a strong and sustainable presence in Ireland. 

Carl Uttley,
Chief Operating Officer

Carl Uttley, Chief Operating Officer at Professional Security, said: 

“Our expansion into Ireland gives us the opportunity to bring a fresh approach to the market, combining exceptional people, operational excellence and technology-led support to deliver real value for our clients. 

“We have built our reputation by understanding our clients’ businesses and becoming a genuine extension of their teams. With experienced local leadership and locally recruited security professionals, we look forward to bringing that same approach to organisations across Ireland.” 

A significant milestone for the Group 

Professional Security was founded in 2005 by David and Abby Fullerton and remains an important part of the Group’s growth story. 

Its expansion into Ireland represents a further step in the development of Fullerton Group, strengthening the reach of its operating businesses while maintaining a focus on trusted partnerships, exceptional people and locally delivered services. 

We look forward to supporting Professional Security as it builds its presence in Ireland and develops new opportunities for clients, colleagues and local communities.
