Q3 expands into security services

A new business rolled out during a lockdown and over a Christmas period!

Q3 expands into security services

Q3 Services Group has announced that it has expanded its range of self-delivered services to include security.

The company has created its security division as a limited company within the Group. In a short space over the Christmas period and during lockdown, Q3 has mobilised a major contract with a retail shopping centre in Barnsley. The company has already established a wealth of security guard and manned-guarding expertise and is now capable of delivering a complete security service, on a national basis to both Blue Chip and Public Sector customers.

The company is embedding the same “boutique” is beautiful philosophy and successful management techniques to this area of service delivery, as it has in other areas of its operations. Underpinning this approach will be the organisation’s core Q3 Values of Quality Service, Quality People, Quality Clients.

Initially, Manned Guarding will be at the forefront of the company’s new Security Services operation, but the company plans to complement this with innovative technology developed with its technology partners, to create bespoke solutions, designed to protect businesses in every sector. The use of technology to optimise and drive operational excellence, is a model that has already proven successful within Q3’s cleaning business.

Commenting on the new move, CEO Martyn Freeman said, “During the pandemic, both cleaning and security service lines have taken on an even greater importance in ensuring the smooth, continuation of “business as usual” for many clients. Our simple aim with our extension into security, is to deliver service excellence, at competitive rates, 24/7 and 365. We know that’s the winning formula for happy customers.”
