In 2023, Sunstates Security celebrates 25 years of providing security personnel services. In March 1998, President Glenn Burrell left his homeland of England to pursue his dream of living in the United States. Glenn arrived, bringing 20 years of experience at Scotland Yard, ready to instill the same high standards of honesty, integrity, and trust into his company.
Headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, Sunstates Security is a privately held contract security service provider, employing over 5,000 individuals, a number that has doubled in the past five years. Sunstates offers services nationwide and constantly expands and adds new regions. With the continued growth, Sunstates was recently identified as one of the top 10 largest security providers in North America.
In 2021 and 2022, Sunstates Security was recognized by Forbes as a Best Mid-Sized Employer. “Taking care of our employees is a fundamental part of who we are as a company,” says Glenn. “The fact that our employees approve of the culture and atmosphere we have tried to create and would recommend us to their family and friends means a great deal to us.”
Additionally, in 2022 The OSPAs awarded Sunstates Security as Outstanding Contract Security Company at the ASIS GSX Awards Reception in Atlanta, GA.
A partnership with Sunstates will help your organization’s commitment to integrating diverse businesses into your overall strategic sourcing processes. CEO Kathryn Burrell states, “As Sunstates celebrates its 25th anniversary, it is a time to reflect on the challenges and achievements along the way. Twenty-five amazing years of successfully building strategic partnerships and helping to keep clients safe.”
Sunstates Security is committed to providing an exceptional experience for our employees as well as our clients. This is achieved by the continuous reinvestment in the company through above-average employee benefits offerings, new technology, and programs for training and ongoing management team expansion to support our operating model as we rapidly grow.
The past 25 years have certainly been a team effort. Kathryn expresses, “I would personally like to thank our employees, clients and our friends for putting your trust in us; without your commitment, our company would not be where it is today. We look forward to continuing to provide superior security services for many years to come.”
