Avantguard Security

A little update on our recent ACS Audit in May, which was a resounding success. We now have a score of 106 points which puts us in the top 15% of ACS Companies & is well above the average 72 points for a company of our size. Well done everyone. avantguardsecurity.co.uk/avantguard-news

Merry Christmas Everyone

This year @TurningTidesOrg are drawing attention to the 'Hidden Homeless'. Sofa surfing or sleeping in cars or sheds, we don't see them on the streets but they still need our help. A small donation can make a huge difference so please donate if you can. tinyurl.com/2sxvb9hu

Did you know? ACT Awareness is a free online counter-terrorism course. It's designed for everyone ACT Security is a bit more specialised but equally useful for everyone. We make sure all of our team refresh both courses annually. #Actioncountersterrorism tinyurl.com/2twsc52m

Looking forward to a return visit in August when there could be up to 300 bats with the pups and mums emerging together. Perhaps we'll try and tie in with #InternationalBatNight (26th - 27th August 2023). (4/4)

Previously we found a few inside our office but we're glad to say that local bat carer, James has always been on hand to come & rescue them. If anyone finds a grounded bat then they should contact the Bat Conservation Trust for advice & assistance (3/4) bats.org.uk/advice/help-iv…

Hi All We recently had a bat survey at our office in Arundel, with a team from Somerset Ecology Services coming all this way to count the bats emerging from the roof space. It was very exciting and we saw 150 emergences as the sun was setting (1/4) somerset.gov.uk/planning-build…

Good News! Last week's ACS Audit was another success and despite a challenging year for everyone, we have raised our score to 103 points. That puts us just 2 points short of being an industry pacesetter (top 15% of all ACS companies in the country). Well done to the whole team.

Update on our sponsored bee hives on the south downs. They are feasting on pollen from hawthorn, apple blossom, horse chestnut & oil see rape & the queen is laying eggs. Pics show a bee covered in yellow pollen & our spring honey in frames. Thanks @SWHoneyFarms for the updates.

Well it's the end of an era Mark L has been working for Avantguard as Contractor Manager for over 10 years but has finally decided it's time to sit back, relax & retire. Today was his last day & he's off for a well deserved extended holiday. We're not jealous!! Best Wishes Mark
