A Bracknell security team has won a Best Use of Technology award in the South East round of the British Security Industry Association”s Annual Security Officer Awards.
The team, who work for Reliance Security Services, are based at BMW (UK)”s headquarters in Bracknell. The team were nominated for their work using a state-of-the-art security system, which includes CCTV, access control and intruder alarms. Not only have the team got to grips with this sophisticated technology, but they have also developed a comprehensive training package to ensure that new team members can be easily trained.
Phil Cornforth, National Account Manager for Reliance Security Services Ltd comments: “The team”s enthusiasm for the technology and their willingness to learn is to be complimented as they have shown boundless energy in understanding the detail behind the function of the security equipment.”
“The team”s use of this new technology has proved a huge success,” says John Hall, Security Manager at BMW (UK) Ltd. “They have ensured that no vehicle related crime has occurred on site within the last eighteen months and they have identified a number of water leaks which, left undetected, could have caused thousands of pounds worth of damage. I congratulate them for their achievement.”
