Groupe GEOS

GEOS was set up in 1997. The ambition of the group’s founders, Stéphane Gérardin and Thierry Laulom, was to deliver a French security management solution for companies faced with criminal threats and political risk.

In the beginning, the main activity of the company was security escort for dignitaries and security audits in Algeria. The service package was gradually expanded; in 2000 the group delivered a range of services in geographical zones including Africa, South-East Asia and North America. As of 2004, the group saw turnover increase making the opening of the company’s capital to investors possible. Continental Risk, a holding company, acquired 34% of the group’s capital. The firm is owned by Guillaume Verspieren.{{cite magazine |url=http://www.lexpress.fr/actualite/economie/renforcement-du-capital-a-geos_587389.html |title=Renforcement du capital à Geos |first=Eric |last=Pelletier |date=10 October 2008 |magazine=L'Express |access-date=9 February 2022 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081010215918/http://www.lexpress.fr/actualite/economie/renforcement-du-capital-a-geos_587389.html |archive-date=10 October 2008}}
