Four more high performing security companies have now joined the Infologue.com ACS Star Performers List, which consists of companies in the SIA Approved Contractors Scheme (ACS) who have achieved the highest 5% of assessed scores within the scheme. There are an estimated 36 companies who qualify for the Infologue.com ACS Star Performers List and with the new entrants the list consists of 56% or 20 of the companies eligible. The new entrants are CIS Security Limited, Emprise Services plc, Equinox Security Management Limited and The Security Group (National) Limited (trading as Bowles Security & Alpha Plus Security).

Carl Palmer MD of CIS told Infologue.com; “To achieve such fantastic results in all aspects of our business operations is testimony to our commitment; not only to the quality standards demanded by the Approved Contractor Scheme but also to the continuous improvement of our overall service. Ultimately CIS constantly seeks new ways of enhancing customer satisfaction and building a competitive edge. The Infologue.com ACS Stars scheme will contribute to the status of high achieving companies such as CIS, therefore providing customers with further assurance of quality service provision within the industry.“

Paul Harvey, Emprise Services Operations Director with responsibility for the Security and Property Solutions Division told Infologue.com; “As a provider of high-performing contracts, Emprise Services have a commitment to quality, continual improvement and the betterment of the wider Security Industry. By embracing the criteria of the ACS, Emprise has been able to drive performance improvements which have benefited our people, our customers and Emprise. When customers select their service provider there is little opportunity for qualitative and quantitive differentiation. A Company’s score through the SIA’s Approved Contractor Scheme does provide the opportunity to benchmark service providers on criteria other than ISO processes. Emprise supports the ACS and our people and customers have benefited from the focus on continual improvement that the ACS has stimulated”

Steve Boyden, Group Managing Director of Equinox Security Management Ltd commented; “This is a terrific achievement for the company and is a measure of our commitment to operational service distinction, management excellence and the total commitment and enthusiasm of the entire team. Our auditor described Equinox as “the best kept secret in the security industry – further adding that “new clients should be queuing up to use our services”. For my part, I am delighted for the team, that their dedication to staff welfare and development, operational standards and pioneering customer relationship development initiatives have been recognised in such a demonstrable way”
