Crowd Control Security is More Important Than Ever
When the first lockdown hit the UK, many businesses in the hospitality sector were forced to close their doors, with no real idea as to when they could open them back up again. While government support schemes have helped many within the industry pay their bills, this could only go so far.
With the furlough scheme set to end in March, it’s likely that a fair amount of businesses within the sector will be faced with having to cut jobs and even close their doors for the last time. However, the last few weeks have seen the beginnings of light at the end of the tunnel. As after the second lockdown passed, businesses in the hospitality industry are once again able to open their doors and welcome staff and customers.
Even though we are technically out of full lockdown though, and the rules have been somewhat relaxed in certain areas, it is not as simple as opening the doors and letting customers walk in. It’s still hugely important during this time to maintain strong crowd control security parameters. Continue reading “Crowd Control Security is More Important Than Ever”

A few days ago, at 13:00 in the afternoon, one of our clients’ void properties was broken into…
Unfortunately, this has been an all too common occurrence during the Covid-19 national lockdowns. The first lockdown suffered from a surge in break-ins at commercial sites, and many more businesses have been left vulnerable over the last couple of months too.
Criminals have been targeting any shops, pubs and other commercial premises that have been left vacant and without adequate security. Sites that have been left unoccupied for an indefinite period have needed the right kind of vacant property security in place – now more than ever.

read moreWhy Security For Student Accommodation is so Critical
The student lifestyle is in full swing, with September behind us and universities remaining open throughout the second national lockdown. However, unfortunately there’s another side to student life that isn’t so great, and this is because many students are prime targets when it comes to crime. With statistics showing that nearly a third of all students in the UK fall victim to crime while they’re at university.
Making sure students are protected and safe comes down to more than just ensuring their smart phones and laptops don’t get stolen. It’s about providing a stronger sense of security and support to students for things like stress. Experienced security guards who are trained to protect students and provide student accommodation security, can be critical in helping students to receive the care they need to fulfil their potential.
