NORTHAMPTON, England, April 20 /PRNewswire/ --     Northampton-based VSG, one of the most successful companies in
the UK security sector, has achieved the accolade of inclusion in the annual
Sunday Times PricewaterhouseCoopers Profit Track 100 league table. Published
on Sunday 19th April, this prestigious table lists the 100 private companies
with the fastest growth in profits over the last three years of available
audited accounts.

VSG's profits grew from GBP999,000 in 2005 to GBP4.2 million
in 2008 - an annual rate of 61% - putting the company at 61st position in the
league table. The company was the largest employer in the Midlands to be
listed, having created 1,980 jobs over the last three years.

"We're proud and honoured to be listed in the Profit Track 100
league table," said Rob Jones, VSG Finance Director, "and we are especially
proud that the growth in our profits is, for the most part, the result of
business expansion. Other factors have, of course, contributed and these
include economies of scale as our business grows, high contract retention and
our efficient management approach."

"We know that some companies boost profits by aggressively
trimming costs to the detriment of the services they provide, and others see
raising prices as an easy path to profit, but our philosophy is different. We
believe that the route to success and profitability is to provide all of our
clients with the best possible service at a fair price. And, as our inclusion
in Profit Track 100 clearly shows, this philosophy works."

VSG consistently invests a large proportion of its profits in
enhancing the range and quality of the services it provides to its clients,
and in developing the infrastructure of the business to provide a platform
for strong future growth.

During the last three years, the company has opened new
offices in the City of London and Dublin, and has acquired Rampart Security,
a specialist in electronic security systems. It has also made large
investments in staff training, which led to it winning the coveted
Contribution to Skills Development & Training Award at the 2008 Skills for
Security Awards.

"Our Profit Track 100 listing is a wonderful accolade and
we're delighted to have achieved it," said Rob Jones, "but we know that we
can't afford to rest on our laurels."

"The present economic conditions are as tough for us as for
everyone else, but our response is to work harder than ever to give our
customers the support and service they need. These efforts, complemented by
our sound business infrastructure, give us confidence that we will be at
least as successful in the future as we have been in the past."

Note to Editors:

Established in 2000, VSG is one of the fastest growing independent
companies in the UK's manned guarding and electronic security industry and
ranked 61 in the 2009 Sunday Times Profit Track 100 companies. The company
employs 4,500 staff and has an annual turnover in excess of GBP120 million.

VSG's customer base extends throughout the UK and the
company's services are further supported with local offices in the City of
London, Belfast and Dublin.

2008 proved to be one the most successful in VSG's 8 year
history, as the company won 8 nationally acclaimed awards across all areas of
the business. These included a Merit award in the Security Officer of the
Year category at the prestigious Irish Security Industry Association Awards,
four accolades from the BSIA (British Security Industry Association) and two
from Security Industry's "Oscars", the Security Excellence Awards, including
Security Guarding Company of the Year, plus it was the only company to be
honoured by Skills for Security, receiving the Contribution to Skills
Development & Training accolade at the November 2008 event.
