LeisureSec PLC – Industry Specific Administration Services for Security Companies
The introduction of the SIA (Security Industry Authority) has placed a substantial burden on emerging security companies, to the extent that the red tape and significant penalties for transgression of the legislation is stifling the growth of small companies.
Our Management and Administration Services all of the legally and industry specific required functions including:
| NSI guarding gold status
Recruitment and relief personnel Senior security manager Compliance with HASWA Income replacement scheme Police Liaison Sales and Marketing 24 hr police station assistance |
Screening of all personnel to BS7858
Risk assessment Industry specific training Venue Audits Insurance Administration & Claims Support Factoring Enhanced CRB screening Tendering New Contracts |
Our chargeable fees for this service are usually 15% of the net sales (excluding V.A.T) and are applicable for businesses with a minimum of 150k annual turnovers.
The service provided is regulated and monitored by the NSI (National Security Inspectorate) of which LeisureSec plc is an NSI ‘Guarding Gold’ company as well as a SIA ACS (Approved Contractor). This means you can rest assured that you are placing your client’s business in safe hands.
The benefits are substantial particularly when a cost effective blue chip administration and management hub could be at your client’s fingertips.
Security business owners wishing to sell their companies regularly contact us. The most commonly stated reasons given include; pressure of compliance with the SIA, never feeling the benefits that a business should bring but feeling all the pressures; wanting to pursue other business interests. Ill health. Unfortunately few security companies are able to sell their businesses for their true value or enough money to retire and so many are trapped. With our unique proposal your client will not need to sell; with our input and funding they can finally realise outstanding funds from their customers. This is because from the moment we are involved we will fund the business and they can retain the profits as they continue to receive the outstanding remittances and still take a salary. They will still own the contracts so they will receive dividends. Your client can expand the business or sell if they eventually want to.
Our service allows such individuals to concentrate on their other interests knowing their security contracts are in the safest hands available. They can continue to expand their business in the full confidence that there are first class resources there to accommodate it.
The client contracts remain theirs and in the seriously unlikely event that they wanted to withdraw from this arrangement they would take back every contract and client they had introduced to LeisureSec plc. Clearly terms of notice will have to be agreed.
This proposal is the most cost effective way of trading in full compliance with the S.I.A and all other industry and statutory requirements. You will find us to be extremely good value. Our introduction to your client will improve their bottom line profits as well as their service delivery.
If you feel that you might want to discuss this proposal or a variation of it with one of our sales representatives we would be pleased to meet at mutually convenient time and place. Please feel free to view our website or contact Andrew Jackson on 0121 711 2300 for a preliminary discussion or with any questions or comments you would wish to make.

RoboCam is the brainchild of security company director Rod Brown. Click here to listen to what Radio 1 Newsbeat had to say about RoboCam.
In 1999 he developed the unit in order to save the licence of a club in the West Midlands. The club had been given a final warning by the licensing authorities that if complaints about door staff and a lack of control of unruly customers continued they would close the venue down. Rod came up with the idea of RoboCam and was able to physically show the professionalism of his staff and was able to assist the police in dealing with persistent troublemakers. The licence was saved and the concept of RoboCam was born.
RoboCam is an essential asset for any professional security operative that wants to protect their livelihood. A false allegation could cost an operative their hard earned S.I.A licence and consequently their means to earn a living. RoboCam can ensure that this never happens to you.
Insurance specialists, Coversure Insurance Services located in Reigate, Surrey recommend RoboCam to licensed premises or any business requiring to provide evidence whether surveying a precision engineering factory, investigating an incident or service providers whom have contact with members of the public such as door supervisors working at nightclubs. As an example of it’s financial and risk control benefits, RoboCam will record footage and incident such as a nightclub customer who is involved in any accident on the venue premises, no matter how trivial it may seem at the time the RoboCam ensures that the managers have a record of the customers condition at the time of the incident and the fact that they have not sustained any injuries, just in case the customer is later seduced by a no win no fee offer. The benefits of owning a RoboCam are substantial and the applications too numerous for us to list here. But what ever your trade or status you will wonder how you ever managed without it.
The headset contains an enclosed compact digital camera, which records with meticulous clarity and details the same view as the operator. The recorded images are transmitted via a cable directly to the portable hard drive of which the data can then be downloaded to a computer at a later time. The digital camera's design sensitivity enables it to operate effectively even in dim lit lighting conditions. The headset is also equipped with a discreetly hidden microphone, which produces sound recording quality similar to that of a Compact Disc. All recordings are time & date stamped, and can be produced as evidence in a court of law.

Focussing on Collette Barber Owner of ‘Small Business Solutions’
Set up by Collette Barber, who has lived in Reigate for the past 12 years, in South Merstham as a child, and in South Nutfield, Horley and Redhill for many of the years in between, Small Business Solutions provides business services to small, with particular focus on local companies. Small Business Solutions offers a broad range of business services including secretarial support, bookkeeping, marketing, website design, IT support and PC tuition, at no nonsense prices for small businesses and sole traders. Collette believes that in business it pays to have ideas above your station, and employs the techniques used by the big guns, regardless of the size of a client's business.
‘Not everyone who thinks BIG will succeed, but no one ever made it BIG by thinking small.’
‘My background in the graphic design, marketing and promotions industries, and experience in other areas including administration, finance and retail, led me to establish Small Business Solutions. Fifteen years of balancing the demands of self employment with that of home and family, has provided me with an empathy for small businesses, who have limited resources both in terms of budget and time.'
'Thousands of people start up businesses every week, and in spite of good ideas, energy and enthusiasm, and hard work, find they fail within months. There is no shortage of people out there ready to convince you their products or services are needed in order to trade successfully. They will still be here next year – will you? The trick is to identify what you really do need.’
Small Business Solutions believes it’s as crucial to keep your spending in check, as it is to generate income, because it’s the gap between the two that counts! As an example, a simple website starts from as little as £150. ‘We only give you what you need, not what we’d like to sell you.’ There is also a Membership based marketing scheme for local businesses called www.rh123.com, a fully functioning sub-website can be arranged for you from just £75, which is good news for local clubs, groups and charities.
‘Even if you are only thinking about setting up on your own, pop in for a friendly ear, and a cup of coffee. We can offer helpful solutions for the transitional period, during which people often struggle to continue their existing employment alongside starting their new venture.’
'In short, we can help you with every aspect of setting up and running your small business at Small Business Solutions, and for those businesses who are already established, we can offer an amazing promotional deal via our marketing scheme RH123, which represents real value for money.
