Customer challenges
Why choose Securitas?
When the site manager at a primary school in the North East went into isolation during the pandemic and later left their role, the headteacher needed a trusted and flexible solution to manage daily site access. Already working with Securitas for keyholding and alarm response, the school turned to us for support—and we delivered rapid, cost-effective help from day one.
Our solution
The need for a comprehensive security system
Our mobile team carried out a same-day site survey and key audit to step in with daily unlocking and locking services. We ensured the school stayed secure and accessible without burdening teaching staff during a critical period. As the school continued to manage Covid-related staff shortages, Securitas stepped in multiple times to provide dependable support on a flexible, per-day basis.
