Manned security contractor Securiplan plc has been ranked 74th in The Sunday Times' PricewaterhouseCoopers Profit Track 100 listings, an independently-assessed 'league table' charting Britain's fastest-growing, medium-sized unquoted companies by profit increase. Other companies listed include Travelex and Stannah Stairlifts.
Securiplan's profits have grown 45% per annum from £1.5 million in 1999 to £4.5 million come 2002, the company's core business majoring on outsourced security provision, training and the deployment of 4,000 security officers around the UK at corporate, retail and industrial sites.

The Group also provides consultancy, electronic security systems design and installation services, reporting an annual turnover in 2003 of £63 million.

Speaking about the news, group managing director Phillip Ullmann told Security Management Today: "We're delighted to have been recognised in this prestigious league table. We owe our success to the dedication of our many managers and officers across the country. At present the security industry is facing up to tremendous challenges, and with this in mind we've decided only to work with quality-orientated end users who appreciate the importance of good security and are willing to pay our officers a respectable rate."

Securiplan's clients include prestigious blue chip companies BSkyB, Nortel, the London Stock Exchange and major high street retailers such as Boots and Tesco.

Of late, Securiplan has been helping the industry to shape its future by participating in the development of TSI's manned security procurement guide.
