The first half of the year holds a few bank holidays in the UK, which, for workers, is great for extra time off, but for businesses, they pose a threat.
Criminals become more active during bank holidays because they know plenty of local businesses and sites are unsupervised and therefore easy targets for theft and vandalism.
In May, there’s a bank holiday at the beginning and the end, meaning two opportunities for criminals to steal from your business and while CCTV and other security systems can deter and catch opportunists, it’s not a guarantee.
So what can you do?
Adding an extra layer of security is important during the Spring bank holidays. Hiring manned security will create a physical presence that stops criminals in their tracks.
They’ll patrol the property and monitor sensitive areas to spot any suspicious activity and prevent unauthorised access.
Pairing manned security with other systems such as CCTV and access control will keep your property or site fully protected to avoid stolen equipment, goods and materials during the quiet periods.
How soon do I need to hire manned security for the Spring bank holidays?
You want to be making hiring requests for manned security as early as weeks in advance or even just a few hours to ensure security providers have the suitable number of guards available to protect your site.
Bank holidays are a busy period for security, so the sooner you book, the better.
