Security, Fraud and Loss Prevention Consultants

Corporation Level

We mean in excess of 500 employees when we talk of a corporation, it has been a growing trend for larger companies to outsource guards, store detectives, investigators etc to the large security companies. However, you will find this is not necessarily the best answer to security. In-House operatives know your business, they get to know the people and they get to know the procedures. They are though, one of the lowest paid and hardest workers within the UK today. Many guards and store detectives are paid national or just above national minimum wage, work a 48hr week, get no sick pay, no holiday pay, no pension or any other benefits.

Serious mismanagement of these individuals by the 3rd party guarding companies or in house management has led to poorly trained guards, a de-moralised workforce and limited abilities. We can work closely with your company to identify if your 3rd party suppliers are actually worth what you are paying them. We can also assess your in-house capabilities and grade them on appearance, ability, training, awareness, local knowledge etc.

On a recent assessment to a site in Wiltshire, we awarded the highest Gold Audit score ever given by sflp and since have continued to audit the site in different guises and with other auditors, the guards are always alert and aware abd we have yet to gain access to their building. How are they so good? We can teach your guards and 3rd party companies to be this effective.

At corporate level investigations, we are well aware that negative press coverage is far more damaging to bottom line profit than internal theft or fraud may be. Throughout years of experience, investigations have been conducted from grass roots employees to FD’s, CFO’s and CEO’s and even at time the board of directors. We work very closely at senior level with the police and other organisations that ensure the issue you want taken care of with the minimum of fuss is undertaken very discreetly. In some cases we may not involve the police at all.

Customs can also become an issue for many firms, they have the ability to close you down immediately over the smallest infringement. Yet, they are not to be scared of, many customs or tax investigators are incredibly friendly and can help you get your house in order. That said, if you believe you have an issue, speak to us first.
