Delivering on our promises, but matching it with outstanding customer service

When it comes to choosing a security provider, you need someone you can trust and rely on. It’s about having the right experience, training and accreditations, but also the best staff and first-class management, to ensure a smooth delivery no matter what circumstances may arise.

As a people-centric organisation, we are committed to building strong and lasting relationships with our customers. A core set of values underpin everything we do and customer feedback is incredibly important to us, which is why we’re delighted to have been rated excellent in every field, in our latest bi-annual customer satisfaction survey.

We also believe that an organisation is only as strong as its team members, so we carefully select our staff and invest in their ongoing training and development, to ensure quality standards and the high expectations of our customers, remain the focus at all times.

All our security personnel are fully vetted, trained and licensed by the SIA, and available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Employees are carefully screened in line with BS7858 to ensure they are suitable to work within your premises. They each receive a thorough induction and assignment-specific training for each contract, with the support of our experienced management team behind them.

We monitor everything we do, which is how we are able to maintain a culture of continuous improvement in line with our ISO9001 based quality objectives. This is reflected in our accreditations.

Our ongoing success is down to the importance we place on understanding a client’s needs and ensuring they are met, while delivering an affordable service that doesn’t compromise on quality or professionalism. As a result, a large percentage of our work is generated through repeat business and recommendations

So, whether it’s protection for intellectual property, equipment, premises, or personal safety, what we offer clients is peace of mind and a service they can trust.

In my view Venture Security are striving to make a real difference in the security industry by investing in their people and services and thus, retaining professional staff ensuring continuity of service and assurance to our business.

Stannah Group, Andover

I am very impressed by the level of engagement from Venture. We are a small contract with them but they treat us with the same high level of service as they would if we were their largest contract. We are very happy with the service they provide and also the support they give to our onsite officers who were TUPE'd over from our previous suppliers of security services.
