Independent security company, Venture Security, based in Andover, has achieved its highest industry score yet, highlighting it as one of the top 10 security providers in the country.
The SIA Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) evaluates security firms based on 78 different criteria, including operational effectiveness, leadership, customer service, and training. Companies that achieve high ACS scores demonstrate exceptional standards.
With a score of 138 out of a possible 145, Venture is now the 8th highest-scoring security company in the UK.
Paul Howe, Venture’s founder and manager director, commented:
“There are more than 17,000 security firms operating in the UK today, so having an SIA Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) score that places us within the top 10 of all SIA approved contractors, is just phenomenal.
“Our consistently high score is fantastic recognition for how hard we are working at Venture to provide excellence in security, and our commitment to industry-leading standards across every element of our operations. Whether that’s looking after our customers and their assets, or the wellbeing, training and professional development of our officers.”
