G4S emanates an aura of class and dedication. It is a name that people can trust blindly. But as most of us know, trust takes years to build. Our large organization, comprising of more than 610,000 employees, took about a century to firmly secure its roots.

The journey started several years ago in Denmark. G4S wasn’t known by the same name back then. This name evolved from several smaller establishments that laid the foundation for G4S. It was in Denmark that Marius Hogrefe started a small guarding company by the name of Kjøbenhavn Frederiksberg Nattevagt. A few years later Sophus Falck established an independent fire and rescue service called Redningskorpset. This establishment then started operating the very first automobile ambulance service in Scandinavia.  After almost 2 decades of Falck’s success, he became a nationwide operation in Denmark.
