If you have needed to close your business for the foreseeable future, with no current end date in sight, then you will no doubt be worried about the physical premises of your business. You'll be pleased to know that security guards are considered key workers, and therefore we are available to keep a close eye on things whilst you stay safe at home.

How can key holding and alarm response help protect my business?

One of the most important of our services right now is our key holding and alarm response service. This enables our security team to be on-site quickly and efficiency to respond to an alarm that has been sounded. It might be the dead of night, or, with fewer people around during the day, it could be any time!

Unfortunately, petty crime -- including theft and burglaries -- typically see a rise during times of uncertainty like this. With everything from smaller independent high street retailers to large warehouses now left empty during the day and night, opportunistic criminals may choose to try their luck. If having manned guards and mobile patrols is out of your price range due to a lack of income right now, then choosing a more remote option, like alarm response, could easily be the solution.

If the alarm goes off at your business, our team can quickly attend and, if required, detain trespassers and call the local authorities -- all whilst you stay safe at home. If you were to attend yourself, not only could you find yourself in a physical scuffle with someone breaking and entering, but you'd also be potentially exposing yourself to COVID-19. Our team are experts at de-escalation to aim to prevent things becoming physical, but in light of the coronavirus pandemic, we are also fully equipped and highly trained at how to combat a wide variety of situations.

The world of security never sleeps! As keyworkers, we're dedicated to helping keep businesses like yours safe and secure, so when the time comes to brush off the dust and reopen, you can be safe in the knowledge that everything is as you left it!

For more information on how we can provide a quality security service at your business during these difficult times, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

If you're currently looking for work due to implications of Covid-19, we are recruiting for Security Officers, Gate House Officers, Mobile Patrol Officers and Manned Guard-Reception Officers - for full-time and part-time positions. If you could picture yourself as working for one of the leading security companies in the UK, please get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you!
