SECURE YOUR FUTURE WITH FUSION SECURITY LTD:
Connect Security Ltd is please to unveil a new force to the security industry - Fusion Security Ltd Formed from the merger of Connect Security and Stargard Security.

While both businesses had man guarding as a common factor each had different specialist services they were offering to clients. Connect was predominantly involved with providing security dog handlers - it became the largest security dog handling company in the region - while Stargard’s portfolio included alarm response, emergency boarding up services, mobile patrols and special event security. Together, as Fusion Security Ltd, the business has now become the county’s only company which can offer clients complete security coverage all under one roof.

Andrew Reason said: “Both of the current companies have strong reputations and benefit from already being accredited to the highest standards as of the SIA (Security Industry Authority) approved contractors Scheme, NSI (National Security Inspectorate) (Guarding Gold status), Investors in People, members of the BSIA (British Security Industry Association) and members of NASDU (National Association of Security Dog Users)
“ It means we can offer our clients complete peace of mind.”

The two businesses had been trading independently since being formed within a year of each other, in 1997 and 1998 respectively.

Wayne Southern said: “The merger is good news for both staff and clients alike, we are able to offer a more diverse set of services and a stronger management structure whilst our staff will benefit from greater job security and career opportunities.”
Fusion Security will operate out of the current Connect Security premises on the Finedon Road Industrial Estate, Wellingborough, and can be contacted either by the new website www.fusionsecurity.co.uk or by calling the free phone number 0800 064 6822.

Existing Connect Security clients should continue to contact us in the normal way.

Launch of Connect 4 Staff:
Connect Security Ltd is please to announce the launch of our new sister company Connect 4 Staff Ltd. The new company is headed up by James Oakes, and will be providing recruitment services in all areas of freight, courier, logistics, industrial and commercial industries.

Reduced quality versions have now been added to the website under the services section, where they can be downloaded and viewed. Customers who would like a copy of the DVD quality versions should contact the office.

Dogs put through paces for charity:

It's always amazing how professional dog handlers can encourage their animals to perform feats of bravery and all kinds of amazing stunts - when normal people's dogs treat commands with utter contempt!

Visitors at the recent Little Harrowden School Fete got the chance to witness such abilities and intelligence at first hand when dogs and handlers from local specialist dog patrol company, Connect Security, demonstrated great agility, impeccable obedience and superior control to support fund raising efforts for the school.

"This is not usually the sort of thing we do" said Connect Managing Director, Andrew Reason, "but my daughter attends the school, so we thought we would do our 'bit' to help the cause!"

The whole thing was rounded off with a 'beat the goalie' penalty shoot out - where the goalkeeper was Oscar, a two year old German Shepard. Connect Security offered to donate £200 if acting Headmaster David Kent scored a goal against Oscar - he did and Grace Reason, Andrew's daughter, presented the cheque to the school.

Burglary foiled as dog has his day! (article taken from the Business Times)

When it comes to security and deterrents - there is nothing more effective than a dog! So it comes as no surprise that one of the country's largest suppliers of security dog services has just foiled a well-organised burglary attempt.

Thieves tried to break into a well-known large DIY store but were discovered and chased off by a Connect Security patrol dog and handler. Andrew Reason, Managing Director of Connect stated, "if was not for the presence of the highly trained security patrol dog with handler an organised gang such as this would not have been deterred".
