No matter your industry, accreditations and credentials matter. But this is especially true for us, as a security company ensuring that Birmingham and the West Midlands can receive the highest-quality security services possible.

Thus, we are elated to announce we are continuing to uphold the highest industry standards, by successfully renewing our accreditation with SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) through CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety). This is incredibly important to us, as ensuring we stick to the highest health and safety standards ensures we mitigate risk at every possible point—be it risk to our security guards, our clients and their properties.

This accreditation in particular ensures our compliance across a range of different areas of risk management and risk mitigation.

This keeps another feather in our cap; next to our other approved accreditations which see our SIA licensed security guards, and team behind the scenes, work to the industry leading standards of ICO, SafeContractor, CHAS, SMAS and Constructionline.

Combined, this means that across all of our services you can expect a high standard of health and safety. Whether that be from our security guards during manned guarding, mobile security patrols or any of our other key services.

Thus, renewing our SSIP accreditation certainly means a lot for us—as it ensures that we will always be able to provide you with the safest service possible. And that is most certainly our top priority.

In today’s world we all await the holiday period to take some time off, spend some days with our families and simply switch off. But for business owners, this can be a difficult thing to do—especially with a potentially greater rate of crime occurring over the holidays.

This means, that in order to put your mind at ease and provide you with your well-deserved time off you need piece of mind that your place of work will remain safe.

Fortunately, security guards work around the clock to provide you with that piece of mind—and yes, that includes on Christmas and New Year’s Day.

There are countless ways to secure your business, ranging from mobile security patrols and manned guarding to key holding and alarm response, and these all provide excellent options for securing your business over the holidays.

It is also well worth considering whether your sector may be at increased risk over the holiday period. While most sectors may certainly remain at risk of falling foul to criminal activity, the reasons can vary drastically.

For example, the retail and public sector are likely to receive an influx of visitors—often bloating them to near maximum capacity and, as such, requiring extra security. On the other hand, corporate business, industrial sites, logistics & distribution premises, and construction sites are likely to see many fewer personnel during the holidays, making them a target for the exact opposing reason.

Thus, regardless of your industry or sector, it is worth fully considering the risks to your business, assets and place of work over the holiday period to minimise the chance of criminal activity.

Offering a range of security services in Birmingham and across the West Midlands, at TGF Security, we would take great pleasure in securing your business over this holiday period. Our SIA licensed security guards will work tirelessly to keep your business safe and secure. By doing so, you will not only be able to rest easy knowing your business will be secure, but you will be able to reap the rewards of a truly rejuvenating, joyful holiday period.
