Competitive environment<br />

The global security industry consists of a number of highly competitive<br />

markets, particularly in the manned security sector where markets can be<br />

fragmented. At a local level, <strong>G4S</strong> competes with local companies for the<br />

provision of individual service lines. At a global level <strong>G4S</strong> has no direct peer<br />

with which it competes directly in all service lines across all geographies.<br />
