For this reason, the statement added, Halogen has defined its reason for being in a 3 pronged promise namely: forestall threats, mitigate anxiety and thereby empower achievement.
The Group’s new companies launched are: Avert Halogen, a digitally connected remote surveillance & monitoring solutions company; Avant Halogen, identity management, risk consulting and resourcing focused company; PS Halogen, manned guarding and event management; Armour X Halogen, a virtual and cyber security company; Armada Halogen, secured Mobility company and Academy Halogen, Halogen School of Security Management & Technology institution.

In a key note address at the occasion, Jimi Awosika, a noted thought leadership personality and Group CEO of Troyka Holdings, Halogen’s parent company, described universal digital connectivity and the openness it brings as the greatest disruption to the dynamics of life and business in recent history. According to him, Halogen’s successes in its first 27 years provides clients and consumers faith in the brand that it will deliver on its promise of safety in an open world.
Also speaking on the successful launch of the transformed Halogen Group, Olaoye said: “Today, management and Staff of Halogen are excited to witness the birth of the new Halogen Group.
