SECURE FUTURE
Middlesbrough-based Cleveland Security
enjoys growth as it nears 40th anniversary
A
growing Tees firm which specialises
in security systems for homes and
businesses is celebrating growth as it
nears its 40th anniversary.
Cleveland Security, based at
Thornton House on Cargo Fleet Lane in
Middlesbrough, was first formed in 1980.
It was bought out by current director
Christine Baker and her late husband Steve in
1998 after originally starting out on Ayresome
Street in the town.
Mike Bringloe joined the firm as director
following Steve’s death in 2003 and
Cleveland Security has since built on its solid
foundations to amass a strong and loyal
customer base.
The firm, which has been at its current
Cargo Fleet premises for five years, has
grown year-on-year and two new recently-
appointed apprentice engineers have taken
staff head count to 11, which includes four
senior engineers and office staff.
The business now serves more than 5,000
clients across the North-East, from Berwick
down to York, and boasts an impressive
corporate client list including Ramsdens,
Cleveland Centre, Hill Street Centre,
Middlesbrough, Stockton and Redcar and
Cleveland councils.
It also supplies its systems to Story
Homes through a sub-contract with
electrical contractors Dualbound, with 60%
of business coming from the commercial
sector.
Cleveland Security, which is NSI-Gold
approved and police-approved, also installs
and maintains state-of-the-art security and
CCTV footage to hundreds of domestic
customers every year.
“We’re a local company with local staff and
people trust in our name, which is something
we’re very proud of,” said Christine.
“We offer a personal service, we operate
a very central operation so all the office staff
know our customers.
“We have customers who’ve been with us
for more than 20 years. They trust the lads –
they’re all presentable with smart uniforms
– and some customers ask us specifically for
certain engineers to call out because they’ve
got to know them personally.
“We’d like to thank our loyal customers for
their support over the years.”
Cleveland Security has established its
reputable name by supplying professional,
reliable security systems, including intruder

alarms and CCTV systems.
“All our staff are fully security checked and
we are NACOSS gold members,” added co-
director Mike.
“Which means our customers can relax in
the knowledge that our affordable and high-
quality solutions are keeping them secure for
years to come.
“Our best advertising is our referral work
and repeat business, a record which speaks
for itself and is a huge testament to the
quality of our work.”
Cleveland Security offers a range of
intruder alarm systems that are suitable
for domestic, industrial and commercial
premises.
The firm stocks the latest technology in
cameras and digital recording, providing
images of the highest quality.
They can also install high-performance
intercom and keypad/fob access control
for stand alone or networked systems,
which can be designed to suit individual
requirements.
