Vistech Services specialise in guarding and security systems within the business and residential sectors.

eesside security firm Vistech Services
is set to create 100 jobs as it
continues its rapid expansion on the
back of work for a series of blue chip
clients across the north of England.
Specialists in manned guarding and
security systems for the business and
residential sectors, Middlesbrough-based
Vistech Services expect to double their
workforce over the next 12 months as they
continue to grow a client base that already
sees them protect property worth eight
figures.
Having created around 100 jobs over the
past two years, Vistech Services, which has
its headquarters in Middlesbrough’s Boho Six
building, is well on track to achieving a target
of £5 million turnover by 2017.
Event security was provided at a Rod
Stewart concert at Castle Howard, while
security and dog patrols have been supplied
for both the Yorkshire leg of the Tour de
France and to protect the thousands of
cycling fans who attended the Tour de
Yorkshire.
Northern Gas Networks utilised Vistech
Services’ asset protection service when
North Yorkshire floods damaged gas pipes
across a number of rivers, whilst security
staff have attended university protests
and provided trackside security for the rail
network on behalf of railway engineering
specialists QTS.
General manager Annmarie Hope said:
“We’ve doubled our turnover during the past
12 months, creating dozens of jobs across
Teesside, the North-East and beyond. We’ve
doubled our workforce too, creating dozens
of jobs, the vast majority of them local.
“We now have 15 staff in our Boho Six

headquarters – up from just four a year
ago – together with a team of more than 80
security specialists. We’ve recently taken on
an apprentice and we’re looking for another.
“We’re still in the building stage of the
business but we have big ambitions for
Vistech Services. There’s certainly no reason
why we can’t create another 100 jobs over
the next 12 months.
“We have some good people building the
firm’s foundations, as we target an increasing
number of construction sites, power
companies and health services including
NHS sites.”
Whilst the company has bases in London
and Aberdeen, Annmarie promises that
Vistech Services’ headquarters will always
remain on Teesside.

s a Security Industry Authority
(SIA) approved contractor,
Vistech Services boast more
quality accreditations than the
majority of UK security firms,
while the company was recently awarded
Safecontractor accreditation in recognition
for its commitment to achieving
excellence in health and safety.
Vistech Services also carry out welfare
checks with all on-duty staff, providing
them with phones to allow them to check
in every hour, whilst all their vans have
trackers installed so customers know
where they are and when.
Annmarie Hope said: “We are one of
the most accredited security companies in
the country, which goes hand-in-hand with
the quality of service and basically doing
everything the right way. Too many don’t do
that, getting too caught up in the bottom line,
but our aim is to be a company our staff are
proud to work for.
“Our HR standards are second to
none,” added Annmarie. “Fortunately, the
Government is stamping down on some of
the less honourable HR antics of some of our
competitors. I think some organisations have
sub-contracted their security to firms whose
employment and staff welfare records leave

Services lead the way in security accreditation.
something to be desired.
“The security industry doesn’t always
enjoy the best reputation but we are
setting ourselves apart as a leader
in the field. We’ve come this far so
quickly through a combination of hard
work, having a strong team around us
and a willingness to do things that our
competitors don’t necessarily do.”
