About us

Orka was founded with a clear vision: to develop a best-in-class technology platform that enables licensed security officers to connect seamlessly with reputable security companies seeking short-term staffing solutions.

From the outset, we quickly recognised the pivotal role technology could play in strengthening compliance standards.

Today, transparency underpins our entire operation, ensuring that both officers and employers have full visibility of employment status, pay structures, licensing, and comprehensive screening and vetting documentation.

Over the past decade, Orka has partnered with more than 80 approved contractor companies, engaged over 3,000 licensed officers, and delivered in excess of 1.5 million hours of security services across the UK.

Building on this foundation, we have now unified our Orka Works staffing platform with Orka Control solutions, establishing the Orka Group, bringing together innovative technology and proven operational expertise to set new standards within the security industry.

James Doyle, CEO of Orka, continues to lead this mission with a commitment to innovation, transparency, and raising standards across the security sector.
