We're now on the hunt for exceptional Security Officers to join us. But not just anyone! We're searching for the top 1%. The elite few.

Venture is ranked within the top 0.5% of all security companies in the UK by the SIA. Our policies and procedures have been designed and implemented in line with British Standard codes of practice applicable to the Private Security Industry. We are accredited under the SIA Approved Contractor Scheme, ISO9001, ISO45001 and ISO14001 for the provision of Security Guarding, Mobile Security and Key Holding.
Here is a detailed summary of our current accreditations and memberships:
Venture Security holds SIA Approved Contractor status for the provision of Security Guarding and Key Holding. We have been approved since 2009.
The objective of the SIA's Approved Contractor scheme is to raise performance standards and to assist the private security industry in developing new opportunities. The scheme is voluntary and was developed in consultation with representatives from across the industry; it only covers those parts of the industry that are regulated by the SIA and the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (as amended). There is a single scheme, with sector-specific approval based on a relevant set of qualifying criteria. Visit the SIA's website for more information.
The ACS Pacesetters Scheme is made up of Contract Security Guarding Companies who are in the top 15% benchmarking and achievement levels set by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS).
There are currently in excess of 830 Contract Security Guarding Companies who have achieved ACS accreditation, therefore, it is very difficult for the buyers of security services to differentiate between them. The ACS Pacesetters places emphasis on the importance of the annual score, making the tender process for end-users very much simpler. Visit the ACS Pacesetter's website for more information.
