Customer challenges
Why choose Securitas?
Shortridge Laundry needed a reliable, responsive security partner. Their analogue CCTV system had poor image quality, several blind spots, and lacked real-time monitoring, leaving the site vulnerable. The client was also frustrated by juggling multiple security providers. They wanted a streamlined, modern solution – with just one point of contact.
Our solution
The need for a comprehensive security system
After proving our reliability through alarm response and keyholding services, Shortridge Laundry turned to us to overhaul their outdated CCTV setup. We delivered a complete security upgrade, combining advanced camera coverage, alarm monitoring, and verified response — all in one simple contract.

"Previously, I had three or four different suppliers all doing what I viewed as the same job, but now it’s all rolled into one contract with Securitas."

Conclusion
Thanks to our flexible contract model, Shortridge didn’t need to pay upfront for the new camera system – the cost is spread over three years.
