KeyPlus Secures a Hat-trick of Accreditations


KeyPlus Patrol & Response, founded in November 2007 by Brian and Andrea Curran, has successfully been awarded *ACS, **IIP and ***SAFE Contractor status in less than 6 months of business.


[PressFlow.co.uk, May 29 2008] This impressive feat is due to the small but dedicated team who have built up many years of knowledge and experience working in a constantly evolving and quite challenging security industry.

Achieving these accreditations at such an early stage of the business places KeyPlus in a very strong position for the future. The team's quest for growth throughout the North of England looks promising as the company restricts its services to Key Holding, Alarm Response and Mobile Patrols. The Directors decided not to follow the crowd by simply 'bolting' these services on to a core business of Static/Retail guarding.

The KeyPlus team are confident about their business and to prove the point, they are willing to demonstrate how valuable their Alarm Response service really is by offering the service free of charge to the first 50 people/companies who register. This will undoubtedly give potential clients a feel for how the service works along with showing that retaining company employed key holders is unnecessary, unjustified and potentially dangerous.

Brian Curran, Managing Director - KeyPlus:
"The question of outsourcing a company's Key Holding role to a professionally accredited security company should be such a simple decision to make yet many baulk at paying a modest £1 per day".

Says Curran: "Companies routinely monitor Health & Safety within the workplace but they also need to recognise that using in-house key holders (usually key members of staff) to attend alarm activations alone, at night and to expect them to enter into a potentially dangerous situation is a ridiculous burden of responsibility. I truly hope that the introduction of the Corporate Manslaughter Act 2008 will force companies to re-think their current procedures".
