Halo
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.
