Do you have time off over Christmas? Perhaps you've booked off the week before so you can finalise preparations? Or maybe you've booked off the period between Christmas Day and New Years' Day? Many of us enjoy that precious week of eating leftover Christmas turkey, drinking the last of the wine and working our way through our favourite box set on the television... but what if you were rudely interrupted by local police needing to gain access to your office as the alarm has been triggered.

Our key holding service

There's no doubt about it, being a key holder for a business is a burden. It means being the emergency contact should something go wrong, and that could result in being up in the early hours of the morning, dragging yourself out of bed, and getting promptly to your place of work to deactivate the alarm, or worse -- calling the police to report a break in.

Many offices close over the Christmas period, so from the 24th December until 2nd January, we expect many businesses across the UK to shut their doors. Unfortunately, this presents a unique opportunity to burglars, as they can be fairly certain when your business premises is going to be empty. To highlight this further, we live in a digital world, and many proactive business owners will update their website and social media to let customers and clients know they'll be closed over the festive period -- this is almost an invitation to thieves!  

Therefore, you'll be pleased to know that we office a key holding service. As per our BS7984 accreditation, your keys are secured safely, and they will never be available to anyone without the consent of a manager on shift. Should an alarm be set off at the property, will deploy our alarm response team in a highly visible, branded vehicle, and we're highly experienced in dealing with the authorities, and any other issue that may arise. To protect your business further, we can also operate mobile patrols and manned guarding, which act as a brilliant deterrent to anyone thinking they might want to break in over the festive period.

Relax this Christmas knowing CSS Ltd has it covered

This means when you drive home for Christmas, that's exactly what you'll be doing. You won't be 'driving home for Christmas, whilst being on call should something go wrong'. Instead, you'll be able to get home, hang up the stockings in front of the fire and put your feet up. It's been a long year, and you deserve some well-earned, festive, time off!

For more information on how we can improve the security at your business over the festive period, please don't hesitate to get in touch with a member of our team.
