Showsec has achieved its best ever rating in Security Industry Authority’s Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS).

After a three-day assessment of the company’s operations, Showsec achieved a score of 132, placing it in the top five per cent of security companies in the UK.

The Approved Contractor Scheme for Door Supervision and Security Guarding praised all aspects of Showsec’s set-up, the good practice of its training modules, the e-learning platform and senior management support to help stimulate career development and progression.

The ACS assessment covered all elements of the business over the three days and the findings of the inspection were reached after interviews with staff at all levels and representatives of clients.

Showsec scored particularly highly in three of the nine categories: strategy, financial management and leadership, while performing strongly in all other areas to ensure there was a rise in their rating.   

Showsec’s MD Mark Harding said the assessment provides a good insight into how the company is developing each year. 

“This assessment provides a good benchmark of how the company progresses year-on-year, so it is extremely satisfying for everyone that we have achieved our highest-ever score yet again – the eighth year in a row we have done so.

“ACS is a recognised hallmark of quality for companies looking to engage security providers. To be up there in the top five per cent of over 650 companies is an achievement we should all be immensely proud of,” said Harding.
