From raising the bar to security excellence 27 November 2025

When David Hoey left the Royal Marines and started a career in the security industry, the industry looked very different – no training, no regulations, no professionalism. In 1988, he founded ESG Security with the following mission: Respond – Understand – Overcome.

That motto wasn’t just words, it became the foundation for everything ESG Security stands for. Over three decades later, the industry has evolved, and so have we. What started as a vision to raise the bar has evolved into a commitment to lead the way in security excellence. We combine military standards of leadership and discipline with modern security solutions – and this is supported by us having the following accreditations:

• Security Industry Authority – Approved Contractor Scheme
• ISO 9001:2015 – Quality Management
• ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental Management
