Family-run security firm, CDX Security was recently scored in the top five percent of UK security firms, following a successful audit from the Security Industry Authority (SIA). The Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS), commissioned by the SIA, aims to protect the public and maintain and improve standards within the security industry.
Firms are marked against seven criteria and must consistently demonstrate excellent service delivery and sound business management. Warrington-based CDX Security, who have been operating since 2012, successfully demonstrated compliance in all areas and scored an impressive 126 points out of 145, placing them in the UK’s top five security firms.
Pioneering working practices
We’ve grown over three years and achieving a top-five percent score has been the cherry on top of the cake"
Elliot Roddy, Group Operations Director at the firm, said of their recent success, “We’ve worked hard to ensure our working practices are market-leading, and it’s fantastic to see this recognised by a leading industry body.”
“We’ve grown quickly over the past three years and achieving a top-five percent score has been the cherry on top of the cake. We’ve got some big plans for further growth as we move into 2022, and I’m confident that with the continued support from our team, we’ll be able to achieve these.”
New appointment
To support this impressive growth trajectory, the firm has hired a new General Manager, Jason Roughely, who will help enhance their existing operational processes and procedures to bring these further in line with existing SIA standards.
Jason, who has more than 25 years of experience in the security industry, joins the firm from M4 Facilities Management, where he was Northern Managing Director.
