Collaboration with UK Training Companies: Safe Training
We’ re now looking to expand into an area with huge potential in Ghana: safe and vault work. There is a noticeable gap in the market for professional safe technicians, and we regularly get enquiries for services we are not yet fully equipped to handle. As a result, safe training is a top priority for us in the coming year. I would like to reach out to any trainers in the UK who could help provide training to enable us to explore opportunities to gain modern skills and tools in this specialist field. Once we’ re equipped, I believe safe work will become a core part of our offering.
Locksmithing in Ghana
Locksmithing in Ghana is unique. The average Ghanaian isn’ t very securityconscious due to low crime levels. People mostly do spare keys only when it is a bank / loan requirement. Most callouts are for‘ all key lost” or basic repairs. People tend to trust their neighbours and often delay investing in security until something happens.
That said, we’ re seeing rising interest in video monitoring, smart locks, and push-to-start key systems. There’ s a definite trend toward upgrading old locks with digital, fingerprint-enabled options.
Expansion Plans This year, I have big plans for Key
Security Solutions:
• Launch our third branch in Accra.
• Expand into Nigeria, after attending a West African mobile event for B2B opportunities.
• Grow our team through apprenticeships— a system that’ s already working well. We’ ve had apprentices stay with us for years after completing our in-house training.
• Develop a vocational training centre in Ghana to formalise locksmith education, and I’ m actively seeking partnerships with UK companies to help improve our standards and knowledge base.
• Invest in safe training to build new skills and meet rising demand.
We also hold quarterly training sessions for our staff to explore new tools and techniques. Continuous learning is at the heart of what we do.
Featuring in The Locksmith Journal I’ m genuinely excited to be featured in The Locksmith Journal. I hadn’ t come across it before, but after being invited and checking out the publication, I was impressed. It’ s a great platform, and I’ m honoured to share our story with the wider locksmithing community.
