Integrity Security Group is proud to announce that we have been appointed by Friendship Foods Ltd, a frozen foods wholesaler, to provide guarding services at their headquarters near Birmingham. Once again we were able to respond to the new instruction at extremely short notice, the sort of flexible approach that has enabled the Company to take on even the most challenging of tasks.

Following the detailed and exacting external audits of Integrity during September 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.

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 sixth year in a row.

A warm welcome also to David Coates who has joined Integrity as Senior Contracts Manager to assist with Operations and business development.

With over ten years in the security industry he’s a highly valued new member of the Integrity team.

Having previously working for a national security provider based in Birmingham he brings a wealth of experience and professionalism to the role, and has also previously worked with both Will Adams and Tony Turner in past years.

Integrity would like to welcome three new administrative staff to our Solihull office.

Rebecca Clark, Natasha Parker and Alice Gormley have all recently joined the head office team at Integrity and are already making a great contribution.

As part of their roles they are collectively working with personnel vetting & screening, SIA licencing, scheduling, finance and general admin.

Integrity Security has been awarded the prestigious Contractors Health & Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS) certificate. This accreditation lets our clients know that Integrity Security meets the highest safety standards and ensures that correct procedures and standards of health and safety are followed.

Integrity have recently been awarded the complete security contract for Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation. This encompasses all aspects of security including manned guarding, mobile patrols, key holding and alarm response and electronic security. Integrity are now responsible for a portfolio of 75 premises in the area with a response team that manage alarms, CCTV and respond to activations. We would like to welcome the ten new members of staff that have joined the Company.

NMC have instructed Integrity on a new site based in Leicestershire providing security at a new development in Glenfield.

Integrity have worked with North Midland Construction since 2012 initially at the North Arran Way construction in Solihull. Since then we have worked with NMC at a number of developments within the Midlands region as they have constructed new traffic infrastructure.

We have received favourable comparisons to other suppliers used by NMC as we ensure that we provide a professional and reliable service. NMC’s site staff have acknowledged the level of responsiveness from management and officers, and have also appreciated our staff’s efforts in going ‘above and beyond’ their duties to safeguard the site and equipment.

November has been a busy month for Integrity’s Mobile Patrol Operations with the appointment of Tom Wright as Mobile Operations Manager to oversee the team.

This new appointment has coincided with the launch of a number of new key holding and mobile patrol contracts in Solihull, Birmingham, Wolverhampton and the surrounding areas, looking after an assortment of construction sites, industrial and office complexes.

Traditionally this period of the year always sees a rise in demand for these services as businesses close for the festive period. All of Integrity’s mobile patrol vehicles will be kept fully occupied.

Her Majesty The Queen recently visited International Security Printers (ISP) on Wolverhampton’s i54 business park, along with the new £500 million Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) engine factory.

Joined by the Duke of Edinburgh, she was taking a behind-the-scenes look at both firms in her first visit to the city since 1994. The Queen was cutting the ribbon at JLR and officially opening ISP, which has moved its headquarters to the i54 from Walsall.

Integrity Security Group were requested to support the Police and Royal Protection to provide additional security during the event and to ensure the safety of all those attending.

We would like to thank the staff involved for representing the Company at this important event. We were pleased to receive compliments from the Police on the professionalism of our team.

The longstanding relationship between Integrity Security Group and Hortons’ Estate Ltd has been further recognised by the award of a Front-of-House security role at the new Enterprise House office space development.

This latest city centre assignment has once again reinforced Integrity’s position as one of the major suppliers of security services within both Birmingham city centre and the West Midlands.

We recognise that it is paramount to ensure that staff are carefully chosen to represent both us and our clients, and to ensure that they provide a welcoming, reassuring and professional presence to tenants, their visitors and members of the public.
