ABOUT

A Risk-Based Approach to Security & Fire Challenges

Evolution is an electronic security and life safety company based in the UK and Ireland with international reach. From five offices in the UK and Northern Ireland, two in Ireland, one in Norway, and one in The Netherlands we support an increasingly diverse and demanding customer base.

We are also able to provide comprehensive worldwide services through carefully chosen technology partners, all of whom are upskilled and trained to a UK benchmark. For those long-standing customers with global needs, our Special Projects teams can similarly deliver solutions anywhere in the world, embedding staff for major projects and ongoing work.

Wherever the needs of our customers take us, we ensure all of our projects address the local regulatory and legislative requirements, as well as the challenges posed by procurement. Our strong balance sheet, established client relationships, and demonstrable quality of work give credibility from the front line to the C-suite and Executive Floor.

Independent Thought & Action

Evolution, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2025, transitioned in April 2022 to an Employee Owned Trust (EOT) for the future benefit of all employees. The Evolution Trust owns 77% of the company and every EOT member will share in the profits for as long as they are part of the business.  

Evolution is one of the largest, independently-owned businesses of its kind, capable of delivering Enterprise-wide Electronic Security and Life Safety Systems, Risk and Design and allied Professional Services. With a turnover of £62 million, and over 260 employees across eight offices, we are a recognised expert in what we do, and have the clients, the testimonials and the accreditations to prove it.

Evolution is led by Jake Rackham and Mark Corrigan, who bring a combined 26 years of experience with Evolution to their Joint Group Manging Director positions. Under their leadership, Evolution delivers excellence in electronic security & life safety solutions and services while expanding our capabilities for the future.

We also continue to invest, in our people, in our infrastructure, and in our research and development, to ensure we always stay one step ahead of the game.
