CCTV Accreditation ensures future growth

CCTV Accreditation ensures future growth

Securitay Limited, who started trading in 1985, are delighted to announce that their Control Centre in Broughty Ferry has been awarded a Public Space CCTV license by the Security Industry Authority.

The challenges to achieve this coveted accolade entailed bringing the existing Control Centre up to BS7958 standards. This included the purchase of equipment and the enhanced training and licensing of the existing Control Centre staff. To achieve this, Securitay decided to put in place a Control Centre Manager they promoted internally, and Martin Dunsmuir was appointed in early 2019. Martin’s previous experience in Control Rooms was invaluable in ensuring the upgrade and training of staff met the exacting standards.

Martin is confident that his team operating the innovative control centre systems will attract new business, not just for CCTV, but for monitoring of outreach field operatives and lone workers. Also, this increase will allow him to recruit additional team members.

Deputy MD Richard Jennings said:

We are delighted that the investment in the control centre facilities proved successful. Our industry is moving from physical on-site security guards to supplementary technical solutions. We are confident that this accreditation and new systems will enable us to further develop our diversity into the remote monitoring sector, guarantee future employment and grow our existing 130 strong workforce.
