We are very pleased to have started off 2017 with no less than three new contract awards. The Company has been appointed to provide services to Hellermann Tyton at two separate locations and also to Jack Enterprises and CPN Systems. With further customers in the pipeline, and expansion of our electronic security services we are contemplating another successful year for the Company.

Eight years ago this month Integrity Security Group was founded by Tony Turner and Will Adams in a ‘cupboard under the stairs’ at one of their homes during a year in which many sectors were struggling due to the ‘credit crunch’. Four office moves later due to expansion and we are proud to be celebrating our eighth anniversary.  Initially supplying Manned Guarding and associated services we have extended our list of services to include Intruder and Fire Alarms, CCTV and Access Control. We have increased the number of staff at our Head Office in Solihull and opened additional offices in Aldridge and Letchworth Garden City. Here’s to a further eight years of success!!

We are delighted to have been appointed by CAT, a brand of the global giant Caterpillar, to provide services to their Solihull facility. We were chosen because of our strong local presence and reputation, our Head Office being just a short distance from the assignment. Integrity has recently added three further staff to the Head Office complement reflecting the continued growth of the Company.

Continuing the fast growing relationship with SSIFM we have been awarded a further contract to supply services to the Tri-Centre 3 building in Swindon. The Company is providing reception, access control and CCTV solutions to the site, and it was another opportunity for us to demonstrate how quickly we are able to react when required to mobilise. The building will be developed by the new owner as they continue to roll out a property investment programme across the country.

Megadyne, global manufacturer of power transmission belts, matched components and complete belt systems have selected Integrity to provide security services to their UK operation. This latest contract award sees the Company add to the number of Midlands based clients, especially in the Oldbury, Sandwell and West Bromwich area. Our approach of providing cost effective, practical and reliable service is paying dividends!

We are pleased and proud to announce that for the sixth year in a row we have passed the external audits for ISO:9001 Quality Management System, ISO 14001: Environmental Management System and Security Industry Authority: Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) without any major or minor non-conformances. In addition we have once again increased our score under the ACS system to 98, meaning that we are rated within the top 8% of security companies within the sector.

Following a request from one our clients we were pleased to make a contribution to be used as a raffle prize for an event to support the son of one of their employees. The event was held to raise funds for ‘James’s Dreams’ and the funds generated will be going towards an operation which James needs due to Cerebral Palsy. His operation will give him a chance to take steps without aid and the cost of this operation is £40,000. So far they have raised £18,032.60 and are 45% towards their target of £40,000.

Integrity has again been appointed to provide the Control Room function and mobile patrol services to the third incarnation of the Albion Business Improvement District (BID). The first BID in the UK to achieve a third five year term it has been renamed BID Sandwell to reflect the larger geographical area, and hundreds more businesses, that it now covers. For this third term, and reflecting the service that Integrity has provided, we have now been instructed to supply and maintain all of the CCTV equipment in addition to manned and patrol services.

Following on from the new assignment last month in Gloucester we were quickly instructed by SSIFM to provide services to Oak House in Watford.  This contract required us to mobilise extremely rapidly including the recruitment and training of new staff as the positions were new without any transferring staff. Once again we demonstrated our willingness and ability to ‘pull a rabbit out of the hat’.

The Company has started a new contract to supply security guarding at Southgate House in Gloucester close to the Gloucester Docks area. This is the first instruction from a new client, SSIFM, in what we hope will be followed by further opportunities. Southgate House is a recently refurbished four storey office building and in addition to guarding we will shortly be looking at the CCTV and access control facilities also.
