When it comes to Christmas, everyone pictures being with friends and family, spending quality time together and appreciating the small things. It isn't about big gestures or expensive gifts, it's about the magic, the excitement and celebrating life and trying not to take anything -- or anyone for that matter -- for granted. One thing we do tend to take for granted is safety and security. We assume our homes are safe and secure because we locked the front door, we assume the office will be safe over the Christmas period because we set the alarm on the way out. The truth of the matter is, unfortunately, you can never take safety for granted. That's where CSS Ltd comes in.

Preparing for Christmas

Many of us prepare for Christmas weeks, and maybe even months, in advance. We buy presents and store them safely under the stairs, in the attic or in that cupboard no one goes it at the back of the kitchen. 7 out of 10 people even store Christmas presents in their car! With Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we expect many of you have secured a deal in purchasing the latest gadget, and with the typical average spend per family over Christmas being around £900, there's normally plenty to wrap come the week before Christmas.

What this means is that your home becomes a department store full of precious gifts perfectly tailored to each and every member of your family. It also makes your home a very appealing place for thieves. You might be surprised to hear that many people believe it's a brilliant idea to hide Christmas gifts for the family at the office too! This makes offices left empty at night a prime target too.

Preventing crime at Christmas

The best way to prevent crime at your place of work with manned guarding and mobile patrols. Having a security presence on site greatly reduces the risk of vandalism and theft, and in doing so, reduces the risk of a costly payout to your insurance in the weeks before Christmas should damage occur as a result of crime.

Our security guards are fully trained, SIA licensed and available on a full time or part time contract to keep your premises safe. We understand the heightened risks that come with longer, colder nights during the winter and the way in which the festive season can trigger an increase in theft.

The last thing anyone wants to deal with is rebuying all of those well thought out gifts as they've been stolen before Christmas and the stress that comes with needing to organise and pay for repairs if someone has broken in. We have nearly 30 years of experience within the security industry and aim to keep your Christmas safe so you can enjoy festivities without worry.

For more information on how we can work with you to provide security at your place of work, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you.
