After an exacting process of getting permission to commence the transformation of the current derelict factories and office spaces at Maudslay Park, demolition and site remediation began in October 2012 as the first stage to creating a luxury retirement village. Urban Renaissance Villages have selected Integrity to fulfil their security requirements throughout the process of building this lavish retirement village. 

Urban Renaissance Villages is a leading specialist retirement village developer and manager. As well as creating high quality housing they also aim to support the ecological objectives for the site as the site lies within a green belt region. These ecological objectives also lie well with our dedication to our environmental accreditation ISO 14001 – Environmental Management.

With our already prominent presence throughout the Black Country and Albion BID area we are continuing to have positive effect upon the safety and security of the district. Our officers’ assistance has allowed for intervention to occur when crimes are in progress and a subsequent   increase in the number of arrests. Since Integrity took over the provision of security services for the Albion BID there has been a fall in crime rates in the district.

Due to the enhanced level of security within the BID area a considerable number of member companies are requesting further services from Integrity.

BritChem Products, KCR Marine, Warley Carriers, Metal Assemblies and Konecranes are among the companies that have selected Integrity to supply security services to them directly. The services requested range from providing security officers to key holding and alarm response to the locking and unlocking of premises.

Following Integrity’s success in becoming an Approved Vendor for North Midland Construction (NMC), we have been awarded a further contract for the provision of specially trained Security Officers for an ongoing contract in the East Midlands.

The development aims to improve and maintain the motorways and trunk roads within the region. NMC’s Highways & Special Projects Division (H&SP) has over forty years experience of work in the public and private sectors on the construction of transport infrastructure projects.

Integrity is delighted to be strengthening their relationship with North Midland Construction and increasing their presence within the construction sector.

Integrity is proud to announce that they are now corporate members of NTIPDU the National Training Inspectorate for Professional Dog Users.

Although the security dog sector is not recognised as a specialist sector by the Security Industry Authority, the NTIPDU assist with creating and maintaining the standards and supporting the sector’s development.

Quality training for handlers and dogs is paramount with security dogs trained to pick up on intruders or hidden persons by, scent, sight or sound, protecting their handler by standing their ground and showing controlled aggression. When challenging unlawful behaviour they can assist the handler in detaining a suspect until the authorities arrive to deal with the situation.

As part of our ongoing Skills Pledge commitment Integrity continues to actively encourage and support all staff in gaining further skills and qualifications.

This not only ensures that employees move forward to meet the needs of the Business but it also supports their future development and employability desires.

We ensure that all our staff deliver excellent service to our clients and know that part of this means investing in them to gain wider skills and additional, higher-level qualifications.

Following an incursion into a prominent business park in Warwickshire by Travellers and their vehicles and caravans, Integrity were asked by their client to provide a rapid response at extremely short notice to guard the interests of the tenants and their businesses.

Integrity’s experience and knowledge of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 in relation to powers to remove trespassers on private land led to the unwanted visitors being evicted in less than 24 hours.

This short term rapid response then developed into an around the clock provision of two patrol vehicles and accompanying staff in order to prevent any further unwanted occupation of the site or interference in the local businesses.

Integrity is proud to announce the launch of a multi-agency crime reduction initiative in the Sandwell area. In a joint collaboration with Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, West Midlands Police and the Albion Business Improvement District (BID), Integrity is installing  ‘state of the art’ electronic surveillance equipment. During the tender process Integrity offered up a solution that not only met all technical requirements it additionally provided excellent value for money. In order to ensure flexibility and a quick response to changing crime trends a high quality rapidly redeployable CCTV system is being utilised.  This will provide vital surveillance via Integrity’s locally based Control Room to key areas in the Oldbury and Smethwick areas.
