Operations & Business Development
The Systems Division has also had a strong year, seeing significant growth across all areas: Installation, Maintenance & Monitoring, and Small Works. Major achievements include a full site takeover which included the installation of 96 Fire alarm systems and takeover of 68 monitoring devices, all working to a stringent deadline.
We have also had growth of strategic relationships with key clients and succeeded in expanding services across the education sector, with plans to expand into further locations within that sector.
The systems division achieved their full BAFE accreditation and ensured that all of their engineers are fully trained in H&S topics using iHasco.
Systems Business Support and Compliance
Business Support for Systems also had a great year, completing projects like the Job Costing Module in CASH and Estimating, and increasing larger project works, with fire alarm continuing to be an area for growth. They added additional Sub-Contractors to assist with Installations, had a great year for customer retention, revamped and expanded their quote templates, and updated their statements to provide the client with more information about outstanding invoices.
Next year, they plan to improve Job costing/Margin analysis reports, increase installations and project works, continue to grow fire alarm and CCTV works, and continue to improve customer communications and experience.
The compliance department, alongside the SSAIB Security audit, which resulted in one already resolved nonconformance, wants to look at reviewing the plethora of upcoming employment law changes and improve their processes, communication and overall group transparency.
Corporate Social Responsibility
4 Site Security is deeply committed to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), actively investing in time for colleagues to carry out approved voluntary and charitable activities, and recognising these efforts as an important part of personal and professional development. Our support is far-reaching, encompassing causes for young people, local community support, and health initiatives.
Highlights over the last 12 months have been acting as arm sponsors for the AFC Knowsley Girls U10 footballers’ kit and supporting pitch costs; support to the Under 10s Stanningley SARLC rugby club.
On the health and well-being front, our colleagues have volunteered as marshals for major running events, supporting important causes like the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon (for the MND Centre) and the Epilepsy Action Bradford 10k run. Furthermore, team members have personally dedicated holiday time to raising funds for Brain Tumour Research.
Beyond physical events, we have provided security support to local charities, including assistance to St Gemma’s Hospice during their annual Treecycling Event and celebrating our support for the Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice and their 99ers club.
Other community work includes team members giving time to help the Huddersfield Mission with its food and winter pack distribution programme, and dedicating time to introduce young minds to the world of security through school career talks.
These efforts exemplify our commitment to driving positive change and backing the workplace as a force for good.
