Mission Statement
General Security believe that the clients can receive as good as if not better service from our company than it can from our competitors.
We believe that it is not always necessary to pay high prices for quality tailor-made services that are client focused in their design and monitoring.
We believe we can succeed through honesty and integrity in our dealings with our clients and that continuous evaluation of our methods will lead to improvements in our services and business objectives.
We therefore intend to:
- Provide a service that meets or exceeds customer expectations
- Behave honestly and ethically in all our relations with customers and employees
- Provide a work environment for our employees, which recognises and encourages high performance and job satisfaction
- To consult and listen with all concerned in order to improve our performance
- To pursue and implement a business strategy which ensures a viable income and return on investment. This will follow from the above objectives and place us in a position to maintain a continuing relationship with our customers and generate new business.
General Security is extremely proud of our status and takes pride in continually striving for improvement. Our audited assessments show substantial growth and improvement year on year and this continues to be our ongoing focus.
"Choosing an ACS accredited supplier for the provision of your contract security services will help you to meet your security obligations to your staff, shareholders and other stakeholders."
"Approved contractors are demonstrably committed to customer service and the compulsory licensing of their staff. This means their customers can rest assured that every private security operative deployed on their premises will be working within the law."
