ISO re-accreditations

by Mark Rowe

Solihull-based Integrity Security Group, which employs 120 people at its Highlands Road site, has been re-accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO14001 – all secured with zero non-conformities.

The firm has also passed the Security Industry Authority Approved Contractor Scheme, with a 37 per cent improvement in its assessment and is expecting this ‘trio’ of wins to help it reach £3m in turnover by the end of 2013. Pictured left to right are Will Adama and Tony Turner.

Will Adams, Director at Integrity, said: “Our score with the SIA puts us in the top 9pc of security companies in the country when it comes to our commitment to high standards, the professional development of our staff and the way we identify new opportunities. This is all part of our approach to changing the way the industry is perceived and continuous improvement in every aspect of our business is crucial.

“We have won at least four contracts in the last two months that have been directly down to having these quality accreditations in place. These include work with high profile city centre office developments, regeneration projects and industrial facilities right across the Midlands.”

Established in 2008, Integrity provides cleaning, facilities management and security services: manned guarding, mobile patrols and event security to key holding, alarm response and strategic consultancy. The company has recently spent £100,000 on more vehicles, and a new website, not to mention increasing its head office to 3,000 sq ft after support from the Greater Birmingham and Solihull LEP’s Business Development Programme.

Tony Turner, Managing Director at Integrity, added: “We’ve had a really solid period of growth and don’t want this expansion to stop here…in fact, we are already looking at how we can double the size of turnover again by this time next year. This has the potential to create another 70 jobs and take us to between 190 and 200 positions.“
