Double award-winner continues to expand its security services
Double VelociTees winner Vistech Services continues to excel as one of the fastest growing businesses in the North-East – with the Middlesbroughbased firm ’ s forward-thinking approach to security the key to its success .
In 2022 , Vistech invested heavily in expanding its 24-hour state-of-the-art control room based at its head office in Middlesbrough .
In addition to increasing its mobile patrol and alarm response fleet , it ’ s a bold investment the firm is now benefitting from .
Vistech ’ s earlier success was recognised at the inaugural VelociTees awards in February 2023 , where they picked up two prestigious awards . This included the SME VelociTees award for turnover growth , and the job creation VelociTees award for large businesses .
Since February Vistech has continued to grow , considerably expanding its keyholding portfolio . It provides NSI gold standard and award-winning key holding and alarm response services to more than 400 sites across the Tees Valley , in addition to national contracts .
Altogether , there has been a 220 per cent growth increase over the last nine months .
Chris Taylor , Vistech ’ s managing director , said : “ Our forward-thinking approach and willingness to adopt the latest innovative technology has allowed us to expand our services and meet client demand for reliable , cost-effective security solutions .
“ Expanding our 24-hour control room and investing in our mobile and alarm response operations has put Vistech in prime position to support Tees Valley businesses as they turn to us for their security needs .
“ Our clients trust Vistech – they know their assets are in safe hands . Our industry-leading accreditations and numerous awards speak for themselves .”
In addition to its notable accreditations , Vistech is also a registered Cleveland Police compliant alarm installer . This certification provides the firm ’ s clients with peace of mind that should they require a police presence on their site because of an incident , Cleveland Police guarantee a priority response and will attend the client ’ s site imminently .
Chris said : “ Vistech experiences high levels of client retention and positive word of mouth due to our customer-focused services . We also have a dedicated bid team focusing on new tender opportunities . The team undertakes a detailed analysis of each client ’ s requirements and develops bespoke security solutions , inclusive of the latest industry innovations and added value services . We don ’ t believe in a standard one solution fits all process – we take the time to ensure we provide the very best solutions which address each client ’ s unique requirements .”
Vistech ’ s customer-focused business development model has proved immensely effective , with the firm successfully securing numerous strategic contracts over the last 12 months , worth over £ 4.5m through successful tender submissions .
These new contracts have seen the firm expand into new sectors and industries across the Tees Valley and UK , as well as solidifying its presence in existing key sectors , providing a wider array of integrated and standalone security and facilities management service solutions .
In addition to these prestigious new contracts , Vistech has also been awarded places on multiple industry-leading national frameworks which serve the healthcare , education , housing and public sectors .
But what does the future hold for Vistech ? Chris said : “ We will continually strive to deliver outstanding security solutions and maintain our primary position within the security industry , further investing in our services to support the Tees Valley Community ”.
