Milne Security Services Ltd (MS2)

At MS2, our mission:

Is to deliver tailored, effective security solutions that protect what matters most to our clients. We understand that in today’s environment, security is no longer a simple matter of protection and deterrence—it is a complex challenge that every organisation must navigate daily.

Rising crime rates and growing pressure on National Critical Infrastructure, commercial facilities and assets have intensified the risks of theft, vandalism, and unauthorised access.

The consequences extend far beyond financial loss—operations can be disrupted, reputations damaged, and, most importantly, safety compromised.

At MS2, we believe that a well-defined security strategy is essential for protecting people, property, and information in today’s increasingly complex threat landscape. That’s why we take an intelligence-led, proactive approach tailored to each client’s risks and operational environment.

MS2 responds with clarity, confidence, and expertise. As a specialist provider of integrated security services, we have built a strong reputation for compliance, quality, and client-focused delivery.

Our approach blends proactive risk analysis, strategic planning, and on-the-ground capability to create intelligent, adaptable, and resilient security frameworks that are customised to each client’s needs.

Our process begins with a critical risk analysis conducted by seasoned security professionals. This in-depth assessment identifies vulnerabilities, evaluates threat levels, and highlights potential targets. The insights gained form the foundation of a robust, layered defence plan designed to prevent, deter, and respond to threats effectively.

By embedding security into the wider operational strategy, MS2 ensures that clients are equipped not only to face today’s risks, but also to adapt confidently to tomorrow’s challenges.

MS2’s comprehensive security solutions are built on four core functions:

  • Prevention – Anticipating risks before they materialise.
  • Detection – Identifying and monitoring potential risks in real time.
  • Response – Acting decisively and effectively when incidents arise.
  • Resilience – Strengthening organisations to withstand and recover from challenges.

Together, these four functions form a comprehensive framework that gives our clients the assurance that their people, property, and assets are protected—today and into the future.

We partner with our clients to strengthen resilience, deter threats, and deliver true peace of mind.

As a global leader in deathcare management technologies, PlotBox works in partnership with UK local authorities and councils to digitally transform their bereavement services operations.

Founded by husband and wife team Sean and Leona McAllister, we created the first, purpose-built solution of its kind to integrate two previously separate functions - deathcare management software and georectified mapping - revolutionising the way cemeteries and crematoria both operate and grow.

A decade on, our partners now benefit from the global expertise of a growing, world-wide multi-disciplinary team that stretches across the UK, North America and Australia.

Our mission is to help take away some of the pain around dealing with death - for families, and those who serve them. That’s why we've created a cloud-based deathcare management solution that helps provide the right information, in the right place at the right time.

Seamlessly integrating all of the essential functions of deathcare management, PlotBox’s ‘single source of truth’ provides complete confidence, control and visibility of your data - removing silos of information, increasing efficiencies, and helping to keep you compliant.

Everything in one place, accessible from anywhere, at any time. Giving you more time to focus on what matters most.

Designed for cemeteries:

Outdated, disjointed cemetery management systems cost time and money, increase risk and limit growth. PlotBox’s single system, with integrated mapping and software provides smarter organisational workflows, greater ROI from inventory audits, and a better experience for families.

Designed for crematoria:

Everything crematories need to help manage teams, streamline processes, and ensure compliance. Maintain customised diaries, store and print all necessary documents, and make data-driven decisions with a range of powerful crematorium reporting tools.
