The team at Halo say: “We work hard to deliver innovations in technology and a new approach to protecting people, and all the places they gather, from threats and harm.

“Born from professional experience and the learnings of the Manchester Arena bombing, Lloyd Major, our Founder and CEO, believed there must be a better way for technology to help manage incidents, issues and general operations. He had a desire to combine his experiences – both as a police officer in national counter terrorism and in developing national policing policy for threat management at events – to make public spaces safer for everyone.

“We have worked tirelessly ever since to make this a reality. Inspired by this mission, we bring our ‘A’ game to work every day so we can continue to build products and deliver services that help people. What we all do really matters.

“Halo is now leading the world in intelligent incident management and safety solutions, bringing a new way of using technology to connect everybody who plays a part in public safety with the right information in the right place at the right time. From our centralised dashboard that keeps the control room up to date with everything that’s happening on the ground, to the intuitive and easy to use mobile app that helps safety and facilities teams communicate what they do and see realtime, we help people stay connected so they can make more informed decisions on everything – big or small. And, with our powerful data and analytics tools, we connect people with the information and evidence they need to help them plan the future and audit the past.

“We work with leading companies across sectors where public safety is a number one priority. The Halo Solution helps protect people and keep them safe across university campuses, major transport hubs, renowned sports and conference arenas and iconic music and sports events. The system has processed over a million tasks, supported the management of more than 170,000 incidents and, by connecting people on the front line with people in the control room and giving everyone access to the information they need when they need it, we protect, on average, three million people around the world every day.

“We are delighted that we have been honoured with the King’s Enterprise Award for Innovation.
