Comment: More of the same problems as before, passing mentions mostly related to Litvinenko. Interesting but doesn't meet notability guidelines. BuySomeApples (talk) 15:55, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Only passing mentions of this company, essentially only known for the Litvinenko incident. Notability is not inherited. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 00:52, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

History[edit]
Titon International was founded in 2004 by Major General (Rtd.) John Holmes, a former Director Special Forces and Dean Attew, a former investigator at Formula One Management.[3]
Titon completed a study for the Metropolitan Police into how the civilian security sector could assist counter-terrorist operations.
Erinys International purchased a controlling share of Titon International, and General Holmes became the Chairman of Erinys, shortly after the award of a large contracts from the Coalition Provisional Authority and the United States Army Corps of Engineers during the Iraq War.[4][5][6][7]
Litvinenko Affair[edit]
Titon's headquarters was previously at 25 Grosvenor Street in premises rented from Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky, the building where Polonium traces were found in November 2006 following the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko, who had been contracted by Titon to produce due diligence reports on a number of top ranking Russian politicians.[8][9][10][11][12]
