Small and medium-sized enterprises are the most vital segment of Northern England’s economy. Constituting 99% of businesses in the North, UK SMEs generate more than half of the nation’s business turnover. According to studies conducted by marketing education organisation School of Marketing, SMEs contribute approximately £2 trillion per year to the UK economy. In an effort to recognise the achievements of these invaluable entrepreneurs and their employees, SME News eagerly returns for a fifth year with the Northern Enterprise Awards 2023! It is unquestionable that SMEs are the backbone of Northern England’s economy and at SME News we wish to provide a platform through which their successes can be broadcasted.

SME News strives to emphasise this and give credit where credit is due. Northern Enterprise Awards 2023 Phone: +44 (0) 203 970 0018 Website: www.lux-review.com Sofi Parry Senior Editor

SME News Northern Enterprise Awards 2023 / 10 In 2017, Keep Safe & Secure was established with two goals: to provide customers with cost-effective security and facility management services and to create employment opportunities for members of the local community. Initially, Keep Safe & Secure was focused on serving only the construction industry, quickly reaching success by effectively fulfilling their security needs. However, when the Covid-19 pandemic hit, it found itself at a significant disadvantage. Many construction companies were experiencing losses and had to cut budgets to reduce their spend on things like security. Despite the challenges it faced, Keep Safe & Secure was able to stay afloat by turning its focus elsewhere, serving other sectors like accommodation and residential properties. In 2021, it began serving builders and established a new arm of the business that would deliver cleaning services to the facility management industry. Later, in 2022, Keep Safe & Secure ventured into event security and labour provision. It successfully secured a contract with National Express that would enable it to provide stewards, security, and labour to events like Glastonbury Festival, Boomtown Festival, and Cheltenham Races. Following this, the company decided to pursue further events work. Today, Keep Safe & Secure is proud to have built a reputation for providing top-notch services and products to its customers, consulting with them closely to design personalised solutions that meet all their specific needs. Operating in the competitive security sector, Keep Safe & Secure sets itself apart through its comprehensive range of services, encompassing many specialised areas like vacant possession security and canine security dog handling. This versatility allows the company to serve as a convenient one-stop solution for all its clients’ security needs. Moreover, as a Construction Line Gold Member with numerous accreditations, Keep Safe & Secure is proud to deliver premium services that adhere to the highest of industry standards. This commitment to compliance reassures clients of the company’s capabilities, professionalism, and reliability. Despite the outstanding quality of these offerings, Keep Safe & Secure continues to offer competitive prices. This makes it an attractive option for businesses that have budgets to stick to but still want to invest in great security. Based in Leeds, Keep Safe & Secure Ltd. is a leading security company offering a range of quality security and facility management solutions, including advanced CCTV, mobile patrols, and reliable security guards. The company proudly supports UK businesses and entities, striving to ensure that their people, clients, premises, and the public are kept safe and secure. Here, we explore its story, services, and plans for the future. Best Manned Security Solutions Company 2023 - Yorkshire
Another factor that makes Keep Safe & Secure stand out in the security industry is its deeply client-centric approach to service. The company is committed to providing bespoke, customised services that are designed to meet the distinct needs of each client. This allows it to deliver the most effective and efficient security solutions. Furthermore, Keep Safe & Secure’s offerings are unique due to its experienced and professional workforce. For example, its management team boast more than 40 years of combined experience working in the security and facility management industries. As a result, they have an intimate and first-hand knowledge of all things related to security and risk management. This level of expertise is not commonly found in other security firms, enabling Keep Safe & Secure to deliver innovation in the industry. Although its team are already highly experienced and knowledgeable, Keep Safe & Secure is committed to investing in their training and professional development. Through this, it ensures that they are equipped with the latest knowledge and skills, empowering them to deliver the best standard of service. Internally, Keep Safe & Secure operates based on a culture of teamwork, mutual support, unity, and collective responsibility. The company sees its staff as more than just employees, instead considering them to be important members of a family-like unit. By motivating them and rewarding their efforts, Keep Safe & Secure strives to foster a positive working environment in which every team member feels valued, recognised, and supported by their colleagues and managers. The company believes that a satisfied and wellsupported workforce is more motivated and effective in serving clients. In expanding its team, Keep Safe & Secure aims to hire individuals who are passionate about teamwork, eager to learn, adaptable, innovative, ambitious, and committed to excellence. This recruitment strategy is designed to identify individuals who not only align with the company’s values and culture but also bring individuality, innovation, and a commitment to collective success into the business. By nurturing these qualities through training and support, Keep Safe & Secure ensures that its team remains strong, cohesive, and prepared to meet the evolving challenges of the security and cleaning sectors. As well as hiring locally, Keep Safe & Secure demonstrates its dedication to its local area and communities in many ways. Since its inception, it has been actively involved in various initiatives and programmes. For example, in response to a series of burglaries at St John the Evangelist in Doncaster, Keep Safe & Secure made the decision to provide the church with free security services for a month. This gesture not only helped safeguard the premises during a vulnerable time but also highlighted the company’s commitment to supporting its local community. For its excellence in all areas of business, Keep Safe & Secure has been awarded the title of Best Manned Security Solutions Company, Yorkshire, in the Northern Enterprise Awards 2023. In the years ahead, the company is poised for significant expansion in both sales and workforce. To achieve this, it continues to explore new ventures and collaborations that have the potential to enhance its service offerings and expand its market reach. However, as it scales its operations, Keep Safe & Secure intends to maintain the high standards of service its clients have come to expect. There is no doubt that the company is at an exciting stage in its journey, and we wish it the best of luck in all its endeavours. Contact: James Michie Company: Keep Safe & Secure Ltd.
