Security firm signs deal for Derby office move
A Derby security company, whose clients range from Covid testing centres to the Saudi royal family, has relocated to Oberoi Business Hub in Pride Park to pave the way for future expansion.
Monarch Security was set up last September by Farhaan Bhatti and Phil Wright who have more than 25 years’ combined experience in the industry.
Having initially run the business from home, the pair have taken serviced offices at Oberoi Business Hub in St Christopher’s Way.
The Oberoi Business Hub was founded by managing director Kavita Oberoi OBE in 2012.
In normal times, Monarch Security’s team of more than 200 full time and freelance security staff, would be working across the UK and Europe to provide a wide range of security services including close protection for high profile clients.
During the pandemic, the focus has been on providing security and marshalling services for essential and frontline services in the UK including supermarkets and Covid testing centres as well as manned residential security for celebrities.
Wright explained: “We work with a growing number of Blue Chip companies and organisations as well as high profile individuals who require specialist close protection and security services.
“Having a premium business address is therefore important for the image of the business and we have the flexibility here to take on more space and additional services as and when our needs change.
“We are delighted to have taken office space at the Oberoi Business Hub and look forward to growing the business here in Derby and across the UK and Europe.”
Oberoi Business Hub centre manager Jodie Brady added: “Monarch Security are a perfect example of how serviced offices and back office support provide a flexible and cost effective service to help businesses move to the next level.
“Making the right first impression is vital in today’s competitive business world and the Business Hub’s first class facilities, located in Pride Park gives our customers a premium address as well as unrivalled access to road, rail and air transport links.”
