Repeat customers.  The final, and yet arguably the most important stage in the customer lifecycle.  

Sales people are continually looking for new customers and new business, but if the statistics are to be believed there is much more value, and less cost to a company, in retaining current customers.

Theft.
Arson.
Vandalism.
The list could continue ….

If left unprotected a construction site can be a very tempting prospect for any number of criminal activities. And this is all without considering the effects of natural hazards such as floods, fire or storm damage.

What options are there available?

Following the horrific attack on Monday night at the Manchester Arena, the UK’s terrorism threat level was raised to its highest, CRITICAL.  Meaning an attack is imminent. Although it has now been reduced to SEVERE, this still means an attack is highly likely.

Police and Armed Forces are patrolling city centres and event venues, and everyone is being warned to be vigilant.

Many companies have been reviewing their security requirements over the last few days, updating risk assessments and increasing numbers to give staff and customers extra reassurance.

Sonny Barrah is the ‘one to watch out for’ in the powerlifting world.  At 19 he’s only been lifting weights for 3 years and is already setting British Powerlifting Records; he’s qualified for both the European and World Championships taking place later this year and is aiming for World Record success by the time he’s 20!

Inspired by his father, a Commonwealth Games Gold Medal winner in Karate, Sonny (real name Bvinder Barrah) is friendly and relaxed, but also very competitive and determined to achieve his goals.

Following a thorough audit by Chamber Certification Assessment Services (CCAS) at the beginning of March, we’re pleased to announce that Leisuresec has scored 115 in the Security Industry Authority’s (SIA) Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS).

The ACS aims to raise performance standards across the private security industry. Performance is assessed against 89 indicators, with scores of +1, +2 or higher being awarded for achievements above the SIA requirements and -1, -2 or lower for those below requirements.

It is easy to answer ‘no’ to this without thinking through the full implications.  Maybe you have a small company and think you don’t really need it, it’s not worth paying for the service.  You have members of staff who live nearby and can be called on to come out and reset the alarm if it goes off when no-one is there.

It’s always worked in the past

There are a significant number of company owners or managers who take this view, and 99% of the time the system works fine.

We’re delighted to confirm that Leisuresec has secured its SafeContractor accreditation for another year.  We have held the standard for a number of years and at the end of December we received confirmation that our audit was successful and our 2017 certificate was issued.

Leisuresec are on the lookout for new security staff; Front Line Security Operatives working in a variety of industry sectors in locations across the UK, Control Room Operatives and Vetting Staff to work at our head office in Henley in Arden, Warwickshire.
