Concierge services

by Mark Rowe

Avoca Estate Management Ltd, a specialist residential property management company, has re-appointed Axis Security to deliver security and concierge services at some 50 of its sites in the north. 

Axis Security will provide services from key holding to CCTV monitoring, 24-hours a day, 365 days. Avoca first approached Axis Security to provide an out-of-hours service for residents of the buildings three years ago, a service that allows tenants to phone the Axis control room if there are any issues such as antisocial behaviour, getting locked out of their building or a broken window or flood. The contract has since been renewed on an annual basis.

Sarah Dudgeon, Director of Avoca Estate Management Ltd, says: “Axis has consistently provided us with a very flexible service where nothing is too much of a problem. The out-of-hours service is an important point of contact for our residents and we have had nothing but positive feedback.”

Managing apartment blocks, including all common areas such as hallways and lifts, requires details of all relevant law and administrative procedures. Management is also critical keeping the value of a property portfolio. 

Jonathan Levine, Axis Group CEO, says: “Emergencies can come at any time of day or night and having the right people on site, with the appropriate levels of training, is crucial to delivering a best-in-class service,” he says.
