Brum Opening

by msecadm4921

Axis Security, the manned guarding contractor, is to officially open a new regional operations centre in Birmingham.

Axis says that it’s looking to expand its operations nationwide, by opening this new office in Longbridge, on the site of the former Rover plant. The company has regional branches in Hounslow, Manchester, Rotherham, Bristol, Newcastle, Livingstone and Belfast, and is now looking to replicate this model in the Midlands, where its clients already include the Chelmsley Wood Shopping Centre and Birmingham Council.

Suzanne Averis, Commercial Manager for the region says that the company has a sound platform on which to build: “A new office in Longbridge sends a clear signal to our customers and potential customers that we are serious about their business, and serious about providing the level of local support they need to deliver a first class service.”
Opening in new premises on the site of the former Rover plant, the launch signals a key step forward in the regeneration of Longbridge. Suzanne confirms that up to 75 jobs could be created in the first year as the company seeks to recruit new licensed security officers, and that this figure might treble over the next two to three years. “The closure of the plant left a great mark on the area and its people,” Suzanne explains, “But with businesses like ours now investing in the area there is renewed hope and optimism. Longbridge has a bright future ahead which Axis is proud to be a part of.” In a recent SIA ACS Audit, Axis reports, it was placed in the top 5pc of security providers in the UK for the quality of its service.
