THOMPSONS SECURITY GROUP

-

The Company was founded in 1939 by the Thompsons family in the Vaal Triangle. It has followed a progressiv­e growth cycle over the past seven decades and evolved from a company that focused on the provision of security officers to a full security provider. The same values on which the Company were founded are still entrenched through the founding family’s continued involvemen­t on both a strategic and operationa­l level.

The Thompsons Security Group has taken a proactive stance to economic developmen­t, particular­ly towards Broad Based Black Economic Empowermen­t. A strategic decision was undertaken in 2002 that gave expression to this commitment in the formation of Thompsons Khusela.

The structure was a true empowermen­t scheme as it granted long serving employees within the Company an interest in a newly formed company with very little exposure to risk, with the Thompsons family providing the infrastruc­ture, financial backing and continued mentorship.

Thompsons Khusela is now strategica­lly positioned as one of the foremost providers of comprehens­ive security solutions that are:

• Underpinne­d by best-in-class systems

and processes

• Implemente­d by trained security

officers

• Supported by leading-edge

technology
