Detention and Reception Centre Operations

Delivering safe, secure and returns ready-centres.

IRARA delivers a joint venture model that merges international insight with proven domestic infrastructure. Together, we are redefining the delivery of Immigration Removal Centre (IRC) services through a platform that is operationally robust, ethically grounded, and ready to meet the UK’s evolving needs with transparency, care, and precision.

Our approach is rooted in a fully integrated, resident-centred model. Drawing on decades of leadership experience, we combine operational excellence with a deep commitment to welfare, legal compliance, and dignity. At every level, our services are built to meet not only regulatory standards but also the moral and humanitarian expectations of those in our care.
