Following an audit by the SSAIB, Littlehampton based security provider, Avantguard Security Ltd, have been awarded Approved Contractor Status by the Security Industry Authority. 

As part of the audit process, they were assessed over 89 performance indicators and their final score was just 11 points short of putting them within the top 25% of small business security providers in the country, with Approved Contractor Status. Their innovative workflow management reporting system, Guardtools®, was even noted as a best practice.
 
“We have to thank our team as a whole, as this achievement is testament to a team that consistently delivers the highest standards in security to our clients” commented Tony Woolcott, Managing Director of Avantguard. “Every person in our team is both pro-active and re-active in providing and enhancing the bespoke security services that our clients receive”.

The ACS scheme was developed to help security buyers in choosing a company which is “demonstrably committed to customer service and the compulsory licensing of their staff” say the Security Industry Authority. By choosing an ACS accredited supplier for your security provision, you “can be confident that the employment practices of the supplier have been extensively assessed” and that your security service “more closely reflect(s) your precise requirements”.

The status of the ACS is recognised by the police and offers the potential for enhanced working relationships. The aim is to provide practical benefits through 'joined-up' police, business and community initiatives.

Avantguard provide managed security services across Sussex including security officers, mobile patrols and keyholding and alarm response.
