Multi-award winning Octavian Security has become one of the first ever members to join The Aspire 100
Multi-award winning Octavian Security has become one of the first ever members to join The Aspire 100, a new contract security industry initiative launched by international security risk services group, The Security Watchdog.

The initiative is designed to offer industry representation to national, regional and local member companies who already participate in the Security Industry Association's ACS (Approved Contractor Scheme) but who are not currently ranked in the Infologue Top 20 Guarding Companies, whose annual turnovers range from £23M - £380M.

Terry O'Neil, chairman of The Security Watchdog, stated: "The objective in establishing The Aspire 100 alliance is to provide a nurturing platform for calibre organisations such as Octavian Security to collaborate with, and support each other in offering the UK client base an alternative quality service option."

Sukhi Ghuman, CEO and founder of Octavian, confirmed: "Octavian is recognised as being a quality service provider at the forefront of the drive to improve standards within the security industry. Joining The Aspire 100 underlines our total commitment to this objective".

Octavian has already won the Security Watchdog's prestigious ‘Silver Fox' award on a number of occasions. This independent audit programme, which is regarded by many industry experts as being the ultimate test in establishing the actual performance levels of manned contract security staff operation on assignments and, in particular, outside normal working hours, is much coveted within the sector.
