Key Holding & Alarm Response

“GMS provide Key-holding & Alarm response services at five of our offices in Worcestershire. This service gives us peace of mind that our alarm activations are being dealt with by an ACS accredited provider, rather than asking our employees to take risks by attending site themselves”

Alison GoodwinPartner, Harrison Clark Rickerbys

“GMS provide key holding & alarm response services at seven of our UK engineering sites. As part of the package, we get a forensic marking kit to mark valuable assets as well as bespoke call-out reports received instantly after each alarm activation. I would highly recommend GMS to anyone looking for an innovative security solution.  Hand in hand with the technical support provided, GMS enhance their service with a very human face ensuring an easy to use service that covers all of our professional needs”
