With many UK businesses now re-opening or having fully re-opened, preparing for the UK summer holidays and especially considering a potential increase in staycations, SGS Systems are urging company owners to review their business security.

Once the schools and colleges break up for the summer holidays later this month, industries such as retail and leisure services are likely to see an increase in footfall this summer, due to UK residents opting for staycations as opposed to travelling abroad.

This means that company owners should ensure that their business security is of a good standard to protect employees, customers, stock, and machinery. To safeguard their companies and their livelihoods, so that they may stay protected throughout the summer season and beyond.

SGS Systems Business Security to help improve your existing security system

Whether you are already a SGS Systems customer who is looking to upscale your security system or have a premises alarm which was originally installed by an alternative security provider, we can help to expand the security of your company. Through a pre-booked appointment SGS Systems will review your current business security system and advise if any improvements could be made to improve the current system by offering a full security service review of your business premises, both inside and out.

By upgrading your existing burglar alarm to also include smartphone monitoring to monitor 24/7, access control to maintain specific levels of security within specific areas of a building or CCTV security to oversee both internal and external areas of the premises, we can assist in the installation and regular support of a complete and comprehensive commercial security system.

To find out more please contact our property security team or see our commercial security website page for more details on the range of commercial security services we offer to companies throughout the West Midlands and across the UK.

Increased spending on outdoor personal property such as garden furniture, accessories and sports equipment soared in 2020 as many UK homeowners were forced to stay at home during the lockdown. With disposable income to spend and no holidays and events to plan for, investing money into our homes and adding more value to our gardens and outdoor life felt like a perfect opportunity for many UK households.

New hot tubs, outdoor seating, trampolines, and bikes were just a few of the top purchases made during 2020. A trend which seems to be continuing during 2021.

With all these lovely new items ready to use throughout the summertime, obtaining the right home security to protect our outdoor personal property is equally important.

Upgrading Security to protect your outdoor personal property

Here at SGS Systems we provide home security systems for homes and outdoors buildings, summer houses and shed storage. Operated through a simple smartphone app, our home security systems are ideal for setting the alarm system to protect your personal property.

If you are away from the property, a house alarm provides peace of mind that your property is safely protected against any unscrupulous intruders and will raise the alarm to deter should an attempted break-in arise.

Additionally, our highly efficient CCTV monitoring equipment provides thorough property surveillance 24 hours a day / 7 days a week. Streaming video for both internal and external areas of a property. This gives customers peace of mind that their personal property is constantly being monitored to keep it secure.

To find out more about our home security services, please speak to our property security team or see our website for more details. With over 30 years of experience in the security industry and a collective team of security engineers to support homeowners across the West Midlands, SGS Systems are on hand to protect your property.

Closing a commercial premise throughout January in respect of UK lockdown was not what businesses had planned for the beginning of 2021. Keeping it monitored and safe, especially if business owners are not visiting the premises every day is now a top priority!

Many businesses not only hold high levels of stock but may also operate expensive equipment or machinery. Making sure that a commercial property is secure whilst it is temporarily closed for the foreseeable future is paramount to the future sustainability of any business.

Furthermore, its the wintertime which can add other pressures on a building. The unpredictable situation of a burst water pipe or weather damage can impact a business both financially and productively, even in normal circumstances.

Commercial premises monitoring without having to physically be there

If owners can’t physically base themselves at the property 24/7, then being able to securely protect and monitor the building gives peace of mind and takes away any added pressure. If you are a company owner who is struggling with these factors, then SGS Systems can help!

We provide a range of commercial security solutions suitable for all types of businesses, large or small. Our commercial security options include Commercial Alarm Systems to protect buildings, Remote Access Control to zone off and allow access to specific areas of a building, plus CCTV security to monitor internal and external areas surrounding the premises.

All monitored of our commercial security solutions can be monitored via a smartphone app. Which means that directors can check that their property is ok, monitor who is going in and out of the property and even check that staff have opened and closed the premises at the right times. To find out more about protecting your business with the security support of SGS Systems, please contact our team or see our website for further details.
