Key Holding Service
Virtually every business has a security / intruder alarm fitted to its premises, many organisations do not have their alarm externally monitored for activations, and of those that do, some still rely upon their own staff to attend site out of hours. Quite apart from the disruptive effect a call-out in the small hours can have on the next working day, employers have a duty of care to all their staff, and should guard against placing workers in a potentially dangerous situation for which they may have no training or backup.
GSL Dardan's keyholding and rapid response service provides a cost-effective and professional answer to this issue, utilising an unrivalled network of response vehicles to attend site and deal with security alerts.
We operate 17 security patrol and response vehicles from our offices in Norwich, Ipswich, Peterborough, Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Kings Lynn and Leiston.
More details are available on our Patrols and Keyholding page.
