Monatrix celebrates their 20th

Anniversary

Leading UK Security Specialist Monatrix celebrates their 20th
Anniversary. Monatrix specialises in designing, installing, and
supporting integrated security solutions to UK businesses.

In July 2003, Paul Gillings founded Monatrix, a derivative of the
Latin word ‘Admonitrix’ meaning to advise, caution, and warn. Paul
started the business with over 10 years of experience in the security
industry and his aim was to create a company that integrated
security systems, supporting local and national businesses.

Four years later in 2007, Barry Doak a long-term associate of Paul
joined Monatrix as Partner and Sales Director, specialising in access
control. At this time Monatrix onboarded its largest customer to
date, British Gas and Centrica, due to this new contract Monatrix
expanded and moved to a larger office in Gloucester.

In 2010 Monatrix was awarded Advanced Integrator Status for Tyco Software products, a status they have
been proud to have been awarded every year since.

In 2015 they received the NSI Nacoss Gold Scheme Accreditation, and Monatrix rebranded to suit the new
direction of the company with its commercial clients.

In 2018 Monatrix was awarded its largest project The University College of London Hospital, which was
completed the following year. Later that year Monatrix took delivery of a new fleet of Transit Vans, and they
partnered with one of the top innovators in access control Gallagher Security.

The consequence of the coronavirus pandemic meant that 2020 was a write-off for many companies,
however, during this quieter period, Monatrix took the time to pause and evaluate its progress over the last
17 years.

Monatrix brought on consultant Piers Mummery to drive the business forward. They took the time to develop
strong partnerships and they received Accreditation from the NSI and The Security Institute, as well as awards
from their partners. Even with the pandemic, Monatrix managed to secure their largest job to date with The
University College London East Marshgate project.

In 2021 Monatrix continued to expand its business taking on more employees in the office and the business
moved to larger premises at Olympus Park in Quedgeley, which was part of their 5-year growth plan.

In 2022 Monatrix gave their staff the freedom to develop and take alternative roles to diversify their skills and
knowledge within the company. Monatrix is proud to have also developed new engineers who have never
worked in the security industry before.
