Venture Security, founded in 2006, has held a party to celebrate coming of age.
Venture has grown from three to more than 200 people and is a member of the ACS Pacesetters group of high-ranking Security Industry Authority (SIA) approved contractors, as it’s ranked within the top 0.5pc. The company has achieved average growth of 33pc year-on-year since 2017. Andover-based Venture protects more than 400 customer sites across Hampshire, Wiltshire, Somerset and Dorset, including the Stonehenge monument, Salisbury and Newbury Racecourses; and The Roman Baths in Bath city centre, featured in the May 2023 edition of Professional Security Magazine.
The company’s services include mobile security patrols, static guarding, and key holding and alarm response. The company recently launched remote CCTV monitoring, delivered by specialist operators based at the company’s purpose-built operations centre in Andover.
Paul Howe, MD and founder of Venture Security, pictured right, says: “Celebrating our 18th birthday is a huge milestone and I’m so grateful to our amazing customers, who continue to put their trust in us, as well as our growing team, who are out there making a difference every single day.
“We’re committed to investing in our team, technology and processes, which together enable us to continually raise the bar for our customers. The creation of our new operations centre and the launch of our real-time video surveillance monitoring service is just the latest example of this, further adding to the many ways we are helping keep people, property and assets safe.”
The company’s customers range from small businesses to events organisers; and household names, including Stannah Group, Salisbury and Winchester Cathedrals, Simplyhealth, Wiltshire Council and Help for Heroes. The guard firm’s officers can also be spotted in towns and city centres across the region where they work for local councils and Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), to help tackle anti-social behaviour.
Paul added: “I’m extremely proud of what we’ve achieved to date. We have a strong team and the systems and processes in place that we need to scale up even further.”
