The Belgian branch of G4S, the largest security service provider in the world has announced it will hire 1,000 (300 net) additional employees across the entire country throughout 2019. The additional workforce is needed to compensate the natural turnover but recently the range of security services they are allowed to provide has been expanded and now includes assisting the army and police in certain security activities. Last year the company also hired 900 people in Belgium alone, in 2017 the company hired 1,000 workers.
