Awards and Accreditations
AA Security not only believes in established accreditation systems but actively works towards attaining those that really help us to deliver a better service to our clients.
In addition to our UKAS approved BS EN 9000: 2008 accreditation we have gained Security Watchdog Gold Membership under their Silver Fox programme that subjects us to covert penetration visits – the reports from which can be forwarded to clients at request. We are also full members of the British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers.
Our commitment however is more wide ranging and includes accreditation to the Jobcentres Two Tick symbol. Furthermore, to benchmark our quality standards we submit ourselves to regular audit through external holistic business awards.
We believe that our many successes make us the most awarded and accredited firm in the industry – and has resulted in the Archant Group Award Panel giving us the catchphrase: “An award winning business you can trust”.
We are being hailed as pioneers having attained the first ever Customer First and Leadership and Management Accreditation (Investors In People) logo within our industry – a clear indication of our total client commitment.
