Following the detailed and exacting external audits of Integrity during August we are pleased to announce that not only have we maintained our Approved Contractor Status under the Security Industry Authority scheme but we have also increased our score by 38%!

This improved score places the Company within the top 08% performing companies within the private security sector, and represents the hard work by all of the staff both on customer sites and at our offices.

In addition to the above we have also again secured accreditation to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004. Both of these accreditations were also achieved with no major or minor non-conformances for the fifth year in a row.

The joke might make you groan but we have got plenty to cheer about!

We are pleased to announce that Integrity have been awarded a contract by Britvic the largest soft drinks producer in the UK. We have been appointed to provide a variety of services to this prestigious customer at a number of locations.

Britvic was founded in the mid-nineteenth century in Chelmsford as the British Vitamin Products Company and changed it’s name to Britvic in 1971. There is a good mix of very famous brands in it’s portfolio including R White’s Lemonade, Tango, Robinsons, Pepsi and 7 Up

We are now settled in to our new office space which has seen us expand our Head Office premises in Solihull quite considerably. Remaining at Highlands House we now occupy a completely self contained space but we have not had to change our postal address.

Our solid and continual expansion has seen us outgrow our offices four times in the last five years and therefore we are pleased to have somewhere to call ‘home’ for the next ten years.

The new office space was refurbished and fitted out to the Company’s specifications to allow for further expansion plans. This is in addition to exciting plans for new area offices in other locations around the country.

We’ve come a long way from the Company’s modest start in a cupboard under the stairs at one of the Director’s houses!

The latest undertaking is to provide a Concierge service at the prestigious Cathedral Court on Colmore Row in proximity to Snow Hill station. The tenants of this site include Barclays Bank amongst others and this latest appointment adds to the list of city centre sites looked after by the Company for it’s clients.

You may have recently seen Integrity Security Group Ltd featured on the prime time television news programme BBC Midlands Today. We were approached due to the Company’s  deliberate policy of targeting the long term unemployed when looking to fill vacancies.

The camera crew and regular reporter Ben Sidwell came to Integrity’s Solihull HQ to interview Tony Turner and Will Adams to get their experiences of starting a Company during the recession. Paul Brotheridge, who works at Latham House in Birmingham city centre, was also interviewed to outline his experiences after joining the Company after a period of unemployment.

Tony and Will enjoy being able to offer people the opportunity for a fresh start and to offer them positions within the Company “We know, from personal experience, if you give people an opportunity to prove themselves and offer the best possible training, they can be a great asset to your business.”

Integrity have added this location in addition to other Bauer Media Group sites across the UK that we have worked at, and will continue to do so as the site is refurbished and redeveloped.

Kerrang! was initially a UK-based magazine devoted to rock music before it also became a hugely popular music station listened to by many thousands of rock music fans.

This location is one of many sites that Integrity and Rapleys have worked at together and the relationship between the two companies continues to grow.

Our staff work very closely with staff from both ADI and Mondelēz and are often the first contact point for staff, visitors and customers including drivers from across the globe.

Integrity Security Group has been awarded a three year contract with Herongrange and Carillion at the Heath Park Academy site in Wolverhampton.

The project will incorporate extensive modernisation and will provide a more contemporary learning experience to it’s pupils and visitors, offering a boost to the area.

This opportunity has enabled Integrity to provide employment opportunities to local workers, including younger workers who had previously struggled to find steady work
