Convergint strengthens UK presence with new central London investment

The new office, which is located in Victoria, will provide Convergint with a more central base for customers, partners and colleagues, supporting the company’s work with organisations across London and the wider UK.

The opening was marked by an event that brought together customers, technology partners, community representatives and senior Convergint leaders, including members of the company’s global and European executive teams.

The location brings Convergint closer to many of the organisations it supports every day. From its position in Victoria, the office sits close to Westminster, major transport links, embassies, commercial buildings and key customer sites across the capital, reflecting Convergint’s focus on combining global capability with local presence and responsive, relationship-led support.

Stronger base

“Our new London office gives us a stronger base from which to support customers across the capital and the wider UK,” explained Matthew Coulson, UK general manager at Convergint. “Being located in such a central part of the city means we can be closer to many of the organisations we work with, better connected to our partners and more available to the people and places that rely on our service every day.”

Coulson added: “For our colleagues, it also creates a highly accessible space where teams can come together, collaborate and continue building the culture that underpins the way we support our customers.”

The opening comes as Convergint marks 25 years since its founding and continues to expand its global footprint, which now includes more than 11,000 colleagues across more than 220 locations worldwide. The London office forms part of a wider period of investment for the business, following the opening of Convergint’s new global headquarters in the Chicago area last year.

Important market

Yaruba Tate, president of Europe at Convergint, stated: “The UK is an important market for Convergint and a central part of our broader European growth strategy. Across the region, customers are looking for trusted partners that can help them manage increasingly complex safety, security and operational environments, while also bringing the technical expertise, scale and service culture needed to support them over the long-term.”

Tate concluded: “This new London office reflects our confidence in the UK market, our commitment to customers and colleagues here and also our ambition to continue developing Convergint’s presence across Europe.”

The opening event highlighted Convergint’s commitment to supporting the communities in which it operates. Representatives from London Air Ambulance attended as Convergint develops its relationship with the charity, whose work across the capital aligns closely with the company’s focus on safety, technology, rapid response and protecting people.

STEP Up Programme

The London office opening follows Convergint’s recent UK participation in its global STEP Up Programme, which supports schools and communities through security technology, volunteerism and charitable activity.

As part of this year’s schedule, Convergint delivered a project in Kent to help improve safety and security for a local school, forming part of wider activity across Europe and globally.

The new office will now serve as a central London base for Convergint’s UK team, supporting customer engagement, partner collaboration, colleague connection and future community initiatives.
