Message from the Group’s Chief Executive Officer. A Special Newsletter to Mark 31 Years of Success and Celebrate the Festive Season
Dear Clients and Team,
This is a very special edition of our company newsletter, as we proudly celebrate the 31st anniversary of Guardforce Security Services, part of the Guardforce Global Group, alongside our growing division, MKM Commercial Cleaning. This milestone comes at a particularly festive time of year, and I would like to extend my warmest wishes to all our clients and team members. To those celebrating, I wish you a Merry Christmas, and to everyone, a Happy New Year filled with prosperity, health, and success.
Reflecting on these 31 years, I am proud of what we have achieved together. Guardforce Security Services has been built on a foundation of trust, honesty, and transparency, values that remain at the core of everything we do. I am deeply grateful to our dedicated team members for their loyalty and hard work. Many of you have been with us for decades, and your unwavering commitment has been the cornerstone of our success.
Our roots lay in the support, training, and learning from our mother office in the United Kingdom, and this connection continues to guide us today. A heartfelt thank you to our team in the United Kingdom, whose dedication and expertise have been instrumental in shaping our company. I would also like to thank Imran Iqbal, Managing Directo UK Division, and Jawed Bukhari, Director of Services, along with their respective teams, for their continued contributions to the growth and success of our UK office.
A special acknowledgment goes to our 24/7 Control and Command Centre, whose team works tirelessly in all weather conditions—rain, sun, snow, or heat. They ensure that every call is answered with the utmost professionalism by highly trained customer care
specialists, capable of handling any situation that arises. Your commitment is the backbone of entire team, for their loyal service over the decades.
To our valued clients, thank you for entrusting us with your security, lifeguards, and commercial cleaning needs. Your confidence in our capabilities drives us to continually strive for excellence. I assure you that we remain committed to delivering the highest standards of service, whether through Guardforce Security Services or MKM Commercial Cleaning. While the journey has not been without its challenges, we have always faced them head-on and emerged stronger. Challenges are opportunities to grow, and I firmly believe that no obstacle can deter us from moving forward. My promise to our clients is to continue exceeding your expectations, providing services that are rooted in our commitment to quality and customer care.
Our foundation is built on the four absolutes of quality:
- Honesty
- Transparency
- Training and Supervision
- Listening to Our Customers
These principles guide us in every aspect of our operations. Whether in the UK or the UAE, our team consists of dedicated professionals who share a common vision: to deliver
exceptional service and ensure client satisfaction.
As we celebrate this remarkable milestone, I also want to acknowledge the contributions of our past team members who helped shape Guardforce Security Services and MKM
Commercial Cleaning into what they are today. Your efforts are not forgotten and remain part of our legacy.
Lastly, I would like to thank Allah for giving me the strength to cope with challenges, guiding me toward my goals, and granting me the perseverance to keep moving forward. This strength has been my source of resilience and determination throughout this journey.
Finally, as we embrace this festive season and look toward the future, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude and best wishes once again. May the coming year bring joy, success, and new opportunities for all of us.

Reflections on Working from Guardforce Global’s Dubai Office
Hello Team,
I’m pleased to share my experience as I step into my new role here at Guardforce Global’s Dubai office. It’s been an exciting journey, and I’d like to give you a glimpse into what it’s been like so far.
First and foremost, the Dubai office is a vibrant and dynamic place. The city itself is a melting pot of cultures, innovation, and growth, which is mirrored in our workplace environment. The energy here is profound, and it’s inspiring to be part of such a forward-thinking team.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is the opportunity to bridge our efforts between Dubai and the UK. This cross-regional collaboration allows us to leverage diverse perspectives and expertise, ultimately enhancing our service delivery and client satisfaction. Working closely with both teams has given me a unique insight into the strengths and capabilities we possess across our offices.
The support and friendship I’ve experienced here in Dubai have been incredible. The team is dedicated, driven, and committed to excellence, making every day a chance to learn and grow.
We are constantly pushing to deliver exceptional results, and it’s truly a privilege to be part of this journey.
As part of our ongoing training and upskilling program, I recently delivered a Customer Care training. This was an interactive training session with many scenario-based learnings. The team participated actively, which made delivering learning enjoyable. The feedback from the team was positive and they all learnt the various techniques and skills with ease.
Well done to the team for their energetic partaking.
Thank you for your warm welcome and unwavering support.

Guardforce: A Name You Can Trust in an Uncertain World – Celebrating 31 Years of Excellence
In an ever-changing world where security concerns are growing more complex, Guardforce stands as a beacon of trust, innovation, and reliability. Celebrating 31 years in the security industry, Guardforce has evolved from a modest startup to a global leader, committed to protecting people, businesses, and communities worldwide.
The Humble Beginnings of Guardforce
Founded in 1993 by Mr. Mick Iqbal and Mr. Edward Watts, with just £50, two desks, and two chairs in Luton, Bedfordshire, Guardforce’s journey began with a vision to offer unparalleled security solutions. With a foundation built on integrity, customer care, and innovation, Guardforce quickly established itself as a trusted name in the industry. Mr. Iqbal’s unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional service set Guardforce apart, earning long-lasting relationships and the trust of clients across the UK.
Article by Mick Iqbal in local news in early year 2000
Commitment to Innovation and Excellence
As Guardforce expanded, it focused not only on growth but also on ensuring that its services adhered to the highest standards. In 1997, Guardforce opened a new office in Neasden, Northwest London, marking the beginning of the company’s strategic growth. This expansion demonstrated Guardforce’s commitment to innovation and adaptability in a rapidly changing security landscape. Guardforce’s dedication to maintaining high standards was formally recognized in 2006 when it became one of the first companies to voluntarily undergo an audit and achieve accreditation as an SIA Approved Contractor under the Security Industry Authority’s (SIA) Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS). This prestigious accreditation is only awarded to companies that meet the most rigorous standards, underscoring Guardforce’s proactive approach to ensuring quality service. Guardforce continues to maintain its status as one of the top 50 medium-sized SIA-approved contractor companies in the UK.
Guardforce Global Expansion
In 2007, Guardforce took a significant step in its journey by opening its first office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). This move marked the birth of Guardforce Global Group, establishing the company as a multi-regional security leader. The Dubai office became a critical part of Guardforce’s global reach, offering not only traditional security services but also lifeguarding and commercial cleaning to meet the unique needs of the Middle East.
Guardforce’s Reach Across the UK
While Guardforce has successfully expanded internationally, the company’s roots remain firmly planted in the UK, where it serves a diverse range of clients across multiple regions.
Home Counties: Serving Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire with comprehensive security services.
London: Providing services across the M25 motorway, including the city, West End, and extending into Berkshire, Essex, Kent, and Surrey.
Midlands: Offering security services in Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Leicestershire, and Sheffield.
Today, Guardforce is recognized as a unified group, Guardforce Global, which consists of Guardforce Security, the security division serving both the UK and UAE, and MKM Global Commercial Cleaning & Hospitality, the cleaning division.
Guardforce Global’s strength lies in its diverse, multicultural workforce, all united by a commitment to excellence and inclusion. With operations across the UK, UAE, and beyond, the company fosters innovation and collaboration across its divisions.
Guardforce’s success is driven by a diverse, committed workforce, and its 31-year journey is a testament to the company’s resilience, trustworthiness, and continuous commitment to excellence. As Guardforce continues to grow, its legacy of safeguarding communities and businesses worldwide remains strong.
A Word from Our Team

Employee Spotlight:
Antony Opondo’s Journey with Guardforce
We are pleased to share an inspiring story of growth and perseverance from one of our dedicated team members, Antony Opondo. His journey with Guardforce is a testament to the values of resilience and commitment that define our company culture.
Antony first approached the Neasden office in late 2008 with aspirations to join Guardforce but faced an initial setback during his first application. Undeterred, he returned in May 2009 and met Maggie Barnard at the reception desk. Despite hearing there were no vacancies, Antony was encouraged to fill out an application and complete a written aptitude test. As fate would have it, shortly after starting his application, he crossed paths with Jawed, who conducted an impromptu interview and subsequently invited Antony to enroll as a security officer.
Antony’s tenure began with a four-hour shift at 84 Uxbridge Road. Coming from a background where he was accustomed to longer hours and higher pay as a club doorman, this represented a new chapter in his career. Yet, as a student at the time, he recognized the opportunity’s value and committed himself to the role.
His assignments quickly expanded, encompassing retail shops, ad hoc events, and various office buildings. A pivotal chance meeting with a client led to him obtaining his driver’s license, enabling him to expand his responsibilities. This progression coincided with Guardforce securing new operations in Berkshire, where he undertook his first solo drive for the company in a Peugeot 206.
In 2010, Antony’s dedication caught the attention of Mick during a site visit. This pivotal discussion about his career progression ultimately led to Antony being appointed as Operations Manager, a position he held from 2011 to 2015. After a sabbatical from 2016 to 2024, Antony rejoined Guardforce earlier this year as a Business Development Manager—a role he finds well-suited to his extensive history within the company and the evolving industry landscape.
Antony’s journey reflects not only his personal determination but also the supportive environment at Guardforce that encourages professional growth and development. We are thrilled to have him back on the team and look forward to witnessing his contributions in this new capacity. Join us in celebrating Antony Opondo’s remarkable journey and commitment to Guardforce!
Guardforce Neasden office was less than 50 meters from my single room. My first attempt to secure a job with Guardforce in late 2008/ early 2009 was unsuccessful.
I tried again in May 2009 and this time met Maggie Barnard at reception. She told me there were no vacancies, but I could fill out an application form and do the written aptitude test. I asked if I could take the forms home and return them later as I lived nearby, but she declined. As fate would have it, just as I was about to finish filling them out, Jawed walked in. Maggie introduced me and I had an impromptu interview.
If I may recall, he advised me to wait for his feedback. This feedback came a few days later when he invited me back for enrollment as an officer. He scheduled me to cover 4 hours at 84 Uxbridge Road. For someone used to long hours and higher hourly rate as a club doorman, I felt this was a slow start, but I agreed since I was a student as well. I was regularly rostered at retail shops, ad hoc events and office buildings. A chance meeting with a client at 84 Uxbridge Road helped me get a driver’s license test which I passed. It was also about the same time Guardforce also got a site in Berkshire.
My first solo drive in the UK was in the Guardforce Peugeot 206 to Johnson & Johnson, Berkshire from Neasden office. I was also trained as a Beat officer and covered London, and occasionally Luton sites. In 2010, during a random site visit by Mick to an entertainment establishment I was working in, we had a discussion about my progression in the company. This led to my appointment as an Operations manager in 2011 to 2015. I had a sabbatical from 2016 to 2024.
In 2024 I rejoined Guardforce as a Business Development manager and believe the role suits me due to my history in the company and they way the industry has evolved. I’m sure I’ve omitted some information, but this is basically my journey with Guardforce.
Regards,
Antony Opondo

Guardforce Security UK Office Update
A Festive Season at the Watford Office:
Progress, Innovation, and Celebration
As the year winds down and the Christmas tree lights start twinkling in the Watford office, it’s a perfect moment to reflect on what we’ve achieved and what lies ahead. 2023 has been a standout year for us all, full of progress, forward thinking, and momentum.
Engaging with Industry Leaders at Key Expos
This year, we attended and gained invaluable industry knowledge at several key expos including The International Security Expo, Security TWENTY 24, London Build, and UK Construction Week, and attended more local events too, such as the Watford Sustainable Business Symposium.
These events were amazing opportunities to connect with industry leaders and innovators in security technology, cybersecurity, and site construction, and gave us valuable insights into emerging trends. We also engaged in panel discussions with leading figures in the security industry, and discussed ideas and advancements that will shape and strengthen the future of our services.
Upgraded Services That Matter
Speaking of upgrades, our service offerings have seen impressive improvements, with the
implementation of more hybrid patrol SUVs and the introduction of state-of-the-art CCTV towers that significantly enhance our surveillance capabilities. These upgrades enable faster response times, more comprehensive coverage, and heightened situational awareness, allowing us to proactively address security challenges.
They also reflect our commitment to adopting the latest technologies to stay ahead of threats and ensure unmatched service quality. Globally, as the need for robust security solutions grows in the face of evolving risks, these enhancements position us as leaders in delivering forward-thinking, dependable protection.
Beyond technology, these advancements reinforce our mission to create a secure environment that clients can trust and rely upon.
The Benefits of Our Hybrid Patrol SUVs
Our upgraded hybrid patrol SUVs come equipped with several advanced features that enhance their functionality and effectiveness:
GPS Tracking: Enables precise location monitoring and efficient route optimization for faster response times.
High-Visibility Livery: Ensures that our vehicles are easily recognizable, acting as a deterrent to potential threats.
Sustainability: Powered by hybrid technology, these vehicles reduce our carbon footprint while maintaining top performance.
Enhanced Lighting: Improves visibility during nighttime patrols, ensuring comprehensive area coverage and heightened safety.
Cutting-Edge CCTV Towers
Our CCTV towers are custom-made to meet the highest standards of security monitoring and come with state-of-the-art features:

Night Vision Capabilities: High-definition monitoring even in low-light conditions for uninterrupted surveillance.
Integrated Generator:Ensures continuous operation, even during power outages.
Advanced Motion Sensors: Detect and track movement with precision, minimizing integrating these advancements, we elevate the level of security we provide, keeping pace with the best global practices and demonstrating our leadership in the field.
The Citizens Aid App
In addition to our physical security upgrades, we wanted to highlight the Citizens Aid app—an essential tool for anyone looking to enhance their personal and public safety. This app is designed to provide immediate guidance and action steps in a range of scenarios, including health emergencies, security threats, and general safety concerns. Whether it’s a medical emergency or a security incident, the app offers quick access to step-by-step instructions in managing the situation effectively until professional help arrives.
The app can send alerts to local authorities or nearby contacts, ensuring timely assistance and with an intuitive interface, it’s easy to navigate, making it accessible to people of all ages. We encourage everyone to download the Citizens Aid app—it’s a powerful way to stay prepared and make a difference in critical moments.
A Journey of Excellence Since 2006
When the Security Industry Authority (SIA) regulations came into play in 2006, we embraced the change with determination and aligned our operations in compliance with the guidelines. Fast forward to 2023 and We’ve recently just celebrated our 31st Year in business – a very impressive milestone to say the least, and we’ve not only adapted but thrived—passing every audit and milestone with flying colours. It’s a clear testament to the hard work and dedication of every team member in the office, security officer on the sites, and operator in the control room. Strong team collaboration, communication, and synergy enable us to drive innovation, exceed expectations, and deliver exceptional results.
