Lock and Unlock Services.
Typically these services are carried out within a 15 mile radius of its current location.
Static Guards
One of core services that the business provides is static security staff.
With this service clients always receive fully trained and Licensed 24 hour uniformed security guards who are fully equipped for backup or reporting and monitoring purposes. It is a well known fact that the presence of security officers onsite, is the most effective way of deterring criminal acts. The companys security officers operate across a range of market sectors including corporate, retail, education, manufacturing, transport and logistics.
Call out Key Holding Service.
The uniformed mobile security guards can also provide a call out key holding service. This service is most useful when there are alarm systems activated inside a companys premises, in the event of an attempted burglary.

Expansion Potential
The security market within the UK has experienced large growth over recent years and this trend is expected to continue over the short to medium term. This coupled with the fact that the area this business currently serves is enjoying large scale development and regeneration bodes well for the future prosperity of this company.

With a more proactive and strategic sales and marketing function the revenues of this business could quite significantly be improved with limited resource put in place. The vendors have been happy to maintain current levels of performance through choice and not actively chased new work.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The company has built up an excellent reputation and enjoys a high level of repeat business and word of mouth recommendations so has never felt the need to advertise. It has a basic yet informative website.
