Institute of Directors selects Amulet for security guarding contract

This is the first time Amulet has delivered security for the organisation. The news follows on from the continued success of its sister brand, Portfolio, which has delivered cleaning services for the IoD since 2021.

In tandem, the two brands will provide an integrated soft services solution for what is one of the UK’s most prestigious business institutions.

Amulet was awarded the security contract following a competitive tender process, duly impressing the IoD with its forward-thinking approach, deep sector expertise and ability to guide the client on future innovations for this heritage-listed site. Amulet’s status as an employee-owned business also made the company stand out from the field.

A dedicated core team of officers will now be supported by a relief team to ensure service continuity and deliver on the IoD’s busy events programme.

Fresh perspective

Adam Overton, head of national premises and facilities at the IoD, explained: “Amulet stood out for its fresh perspective on what security means in a members’ club environment. The company didn’t just meet the brief. Ideas were brought ideas to the table that challenged our thinking and aligned perfectly with our vision for 116 Pall Mall as a forward-looking and dynamic venue. We’re now excited to see how Amulet’s expertise will enhance both our day-to-day operations and our event experience.”

Kieran Mackie, managing director at Amulet, responded: “Securing a contract with the Institute of Directors is a proud moment for Amulet and underlines the strength of our proposition in the corporate sector. This contract win, alongside our recent appointment at the Bank of England, reflects our growing reputation for delivering intelligent and tailored security solutions in prestigious environments. We’re excited to support the IoD and help to shape the future of security at this historic and vibrant location.”
