About Paladin Group Ltd
Paladin Group is a security and risk management consultancy operating across the Asia-Pacific region. The firm provides a comprehensive range of services, including corporate security, crisis management, investigations, and risk advisory to a client base that includes government and corporate entities.
The company was founded in 2010 by Craig Thrupp, a former member of the Australian Defence Force. The leadership team also includes individuals with backgrounds in the Australian military and public service, such as David Saul, a retired Brigadier from the Australian Defence Force who became CEO in 2018, and Dermot Casey, a former public servant who joined the board in 2019. This background provides the firm with deep experience in security and logistical operations.
Paladin Group's business model is centered on providing specialized security and project services. A significant milestone for the company was securing a contract with the Australian Government for garrison services on Manus Island, which totaled $532 million between September 2017 and November 2019. This highlights the firm's capacity to manage large-scale, complex security operations. The group operates through a number of subsidiaries in Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Timor Leste.
