WARD SECURITY has been awarded its third award in quick succession.

Hot on the heels of its 'Success through Investors in People' award and Medway Small Business of the Year, the Rochester-based security company has been inspected to Gold standard for Guarding services by the National Security Inspectorate (NSI).

This is good news for the company and for its clients.

To qualify for accreditation NSI members are inspected for their management systems, staff are vetted, and the firm’s staff training and quality assurance systems are comprehensively examined to ensure they are of the highest standard and wholly sustainable.

The team at Ward is proud to have achieved acreditation because applicants are subjected to a rigorous external audit by qualified inspectors.

Managing director David Ward said: "I am absolutely delighted with the outcome of our recent NSI inspection.

“Our team has pulled together and responded to the challenge of the Gold standard in the most proactive way.

“This is a very important milestone for us and an excellent point from which to move forward."
