Director’s Introduction

Iridium Security is a forward thinking company, that values its client’s business with the highest regards.

We understand that in the role of security, we are customer facing and will be the first and last impression of our client’s business.

Therefore before we build a team for a client, we ensure that we have a full detailed understanding of their business requirements, what the risks are and their customer profile. We also agree with our clients how the security team will be presented within that business.

Understanding the pressures of a retail outlet, be it a high street bar, a live music venue or even a high end clothing store, cost of security is a paramount part of the decision process when appointing a new company. To this end, we will undertake to offer the most cost effective solutions, whilst upholding the highest standards and agreed service levels.

Our Mission is:

“Iridium is committed to bringing the best security experience to our working partners and their clientele worldwide. This is achieved through our personalised approach to meeting their specific needs whilst enhancing their profile”.

Iridium Security also understands the importance of consistency and we have set out various ways of measuring our own standards. We achieve this by using Mystery Customer reports, regular and irregular site visits and internal auditing. In short - if we find something we are not happy with, we do something about it.

Our Product is the service provided by our people and we strive to recruit and vet to the highest standards (BS7858). We are proud to have our own training academy, accredited as a BTEC College. We deliver amongst other programs - SIA Door Supervision, Apprenticeships in the security sector and NVQ in Spectator Safety to name but a few.

Iridium Security is driven by a highly qualified, highly motivated and a mighty proud management team who believe in what we do and why we do it.

We at Iridium Security firmly believe that no contract undertaken is too small or too big. Each client receives the highest level of commitment to delivering the highest standards of service levels of whatever is required of us.Iridium Security’s area of expertise covers a broad spectrum of
