In 1994 I worked my first shift in the security industry, yes it really was that long ago, an hour car drive up to Portsmouth, I remember it very well.
Now 23 years on, I remain very active in the security industry, Director of Operations for 1st Stop Security and consultant to a number of security and training providers that seek that little bit of extra knowledge, advice on the industry we are a part of.
The industry has changed a lot over the years, some major changes in my 23 years of service, some very good and much needed, some not so welcome.
As with any industry you have to stay up to speed with the latest legislation, industry requirements, training needs, but also just as important the ever changing needs of your clients. Every client has different needs and expectations from us as a service provider.
It is so important in such a competitive industry now more than ever that you know exactly what makes you unique to other security providers, there is a very true phrase, if you dont know better, you cant do better, it is pretty much true, we can all learn and should always be open minded to learning.
If you are looking for a security proivder, training proivder or just want a bit of advice get in touch.
