The Hampshire-based guarding company Venture Security is hailing its winning of a ACS Pacesetters award for a tenth consecutive year.
The ACS Pacesetters is a group of the top-performing Security Industry Authority (SIA)-approved guarding companies, which gives awards each May to firms and officers that have demonstrated ‘above and beyond’ service to their clients.
Paul Howe, Managing Director of Venture Security, pictured centre, said: “Receiving the ACS Pacesetters award for the tenth year in a row is not just a milestone, it’s fantastic recognition for the team and culture we have built at Venture. We thrive on pushing boundaries and setting new standards, with a commitment to always providing the highest quality of service for our customers. Here’s to many more years leading the way!”
Many of Venture’s security officers have been recognised as ‘Officers of Distinction’ by Pacesetters over the years, for their actions and conduct handling particularly challenging situations. This has included helping to disarm and detain a man who was a threat to himself and others, supporting a vulnerable and distressed teenager, and carrying out life-saving first aid.
About the firm
Set up in 2006, Venture Security has expanded from a team of three to a workforce of over 200 employees. The company looks after more than 400 customer sites across Hampshire, Wiltshire, Somerset, Surrey, and Dorset, including landmarks such as Stonehenge, Newbury and Salisbury racecourses, and The Roman Baths, the visitor attraction in the centre of the spa city of Bath, featured in the April 2023 edition of Professional Security magazine. The firm’s core services encompass mobile security patrols, static guarding, and key holding and alarm response. In response to increasing demand, the company has recently introduced remote CCTV monitoring, managed by specialist operators at their operations centre in Andover.
