Company History
Robin St. Martin founded the company in 1994 with a friend to fill what he believed was a gap in the security sector. ""This business is all about investigation and protection, and as the economy grows so does the need for security services," St. Martin says. "People know they will have to pay for it either by increased taxes or by hiring a company like ours."

...

Since 1998, St. Martin has geared Iron Horse to meet what he calls a phenomenal demand for licensed security guards, which he says has increased guard numbers in Ontario to 40,000 in 2004 from 28,000 in 1999.

...

"Times have changed. There's a much stronger view of this need for security because of 9/11, but also because prominent businesses know they have to have protection or face serious liabilities," St. Martin says. He adds that the investigations side of his company is also becoming broader."

St. Martin is still the current president and CEO, and has won the “40 Under Forty” Award for business excellence among the top 40 business owners under 40 years of age, and was declared a finalist in the Government of Ontario’s Premieres Award, as well as for the past two years in a row the illustrious Consumers Choice Award.
