Octavian Security, a United Kingdom security firm, will open its U.S. headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The company provides guard duties, key holding, risk management, concierge services, and patrols.

"Tulsa is a great city with real growth potential in the next five to 10 years through a broad diversification program," said Sukhi Ghuman, company co-leader. "This is why we decided to begin our U.S. operations here. The warmth of the Oklahoma people made it an easy choice!"

Tulsa's competitive business rates and business friendliness also drew the overseas company to Oklahoma. Octavian did not reveal a specific number of jobs it would create, but only said it would be "many."
