What Our Staff Say

Hey. Don’t just take our word for it.

Warehouse security officer

Coming from a military background, I feel right at home in this job. Venture is a nice company to work for, with good perks and bonuses. They really appreciate everything you do and in an emergency you can call and they’ll always help you.

Otis, Mobile Patrol Officer
Stonehenge Security

Venture is the best security company I’ve ever worked for. They really look after you and that includes providing a substantial layered uniform, which means we are comfortable in all weathers. I’m always paid correctly and on time and they also take steps to look after your health and wellbeing too.

As with any job, the more you put in the more you get out. I feel there is potential for career progression with Venture and hope to keep rising up the ranks.

Saul, Static Guard Team Leader, Stonehenge

The other security company I worked for only cared about lining their own pockets. As long as you went in and did your job, that’s all that mattered to them. Venture is very different.

Paul and Sara, the owners, really care about their staff and your wellbeing. Same with my supervisor. They always ask how you are and how the family is and care about you. It’s something you can see is ingrained throughout the company.

You can get hold of somebody anytime, day and night, and it’s never too much bother. It really does feel like one big family and I have such supportive co-workers.

Liz, Mobile Patrol Officer
Security Officer on duty

I rate Venture very highly as an employer. I’ve never had any problems and they always pay on time. They’re a good company to work for. The key thing is to give your full commitment. If you are reliable and show ambition and willingness to learn, then the opportunities are there, and Venture believes in helping you to develop professionally.

Darren Winter, City Centre Security Officer
Security Officer

I would certainly recommend Venture. It is a really nice team to be part of and importantly, management is very supportive and approachable. If I ever have an issue, I know I can contact either my supervisor or the management team at any time. They understand the challenges of the role and are always there if you need them.

Andrew, Salisbury Cathedral Security Officer
Security on patrol

At Venture you always have support and backup behind you, plus solid training and regular refresher courses, to enable you to complete your role to the best of your ability. The quality of assignment instructions also makes a difference.

It’s a great company to work for and there are no signs of that changing. You’re always paid on time and it’s always right, which can be a rare thing to find in this sector. I am very happy here.

Ben, Operations Supervisor
