IT'S OFFICIAL - VSG IS SIMPLY THE BEST!
16th September 2008
At the prestigious 2008 Security Excellence Awards which, after ten years are now widely acknowledged as the security industry “Oscars”, Britain’s fastest growing provider of security services, VSG, scooped the night’s premier award to become Security Guarding Company of the Year.
In an outstandingly successful evening, VSG also overcame strong competition to win the award for Security Training Initiative of the Year. For this award, VSG was jointly nominated with Bank of America, one of its many blue-chip clients.
The award was made on the basis of the innovative security specialist training programme that VSG has developed and implemented for the Bank, and which covers a diverse range of skills including, for example, emergency medical care provision (EMCP), and counter terrorism measures.
This is the third time in the past four years that VSG has been recognised by its industry peers as Security Guarding Company of the Year – an accolade that is universally seen as the top award in the sector – and the first time that it has won the Security Training Initiative of the Year award. “At VSG, we pride ourselves on having staff who continuously strive for excellence in every aspect of their work, and who routinely go beyond the ordinary in the services they provide,” said VSG Managing Director, Keith Francis. “So we’re delighted that their hard work, innovation and enthusiasm has been publicly acknowledged with these awards.”
“We’re particularly pleased to have been successful this year because it has already been a landmark year for the company. We’ve opened a new office in Ireland and another in the City of London will open shortly. And, for the first time, our turnover will this year exceed £100 million.”
“Clearly, VSG is doing well, but the real winners are our customers. Our continued growth and our successes at the awards confirm what we hope and believe they’ve always known – that when they work with VSG, they’re getting security services that are simply second to none.”
To support its expanding customer base in the City of London, VSG has opened a new fully operational office in High Holborn, a stone’s throw from the City. On Wednesday 11th December, Andrew Drane, Deputy Chief Executive for the Security Industry Authority (SIA), was guest of honour and officially opened the office with the cutting of a ribbon. He...
