About us
"A homegrown business in Cumbria providing security services focusing on reassuring people and premises that we were founded overnight in 2017 by the Managing Director to protect those who invest their trust in us!
Why? Because we care."
AJ-Security's dedication to quality and care in the security industry stems from a profound background marked by both experience and personal motivation.
Our founder, owner, and Managing Director began his career as a young bouncer in 1989, transitioning over decades in the industry into a Door Supervisor as the industry evolved with the formation of the Security Industry Authority. This change was widely embraced for enhancing the role's responsibilities and defining job expectations more clearly.
A tragic incident in August 2017, involving a fatal unprovoked knife attack on a close friend, profoundly impacted him and the community, reinforcing his commitment to prevent such events in the future. This led to the official launch of AJ-Security in January 2018, after acquiring essential quality management accreditations that reflect our dedication to safeguarding those who invest their trust in us.
By 2021, AJ-Security had earned significant certifications including ISO 9001:2015, Safecontractor, Cyber Essentials, and in 2022 we achieved the prestigious Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS).
These accolades underline our consistent commitment to quality management and client information security.
Our services extend beyond providing licensed male and female security guards; they also include Door Supervisors for licensed venues, ensuring safe and enjoyable evenings for all patrons, organisers and management. Our uniformed presence signifies a company that genuinely cares, an ethos established by our founder who is ambitiously expanding our impact through new initiatives like Operation: Lupary.
We encourage keeping in touch with us on social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn to stay updated on how our services can benefit you as we continue to grow and enhance community and business security.
Thank you
We are blessed with employees, knowledge and dedication to provide security services for small events to large festivals, from pubs to larger venues, from front gate manning to complete control monitoring of the location of interest.
The company has been in a leading position for our areas of interest and continue with our goal of reassuring more clients throughout Cumbria.
As a provider of critical services, even though the company relatively young at only five years old, it operates with the knowledge of the company founder who begun in the industry back in 1989 and with this insight, the passion of protecting and capitalising on his experiences while in the Forces, the company drives to succeed with robust dedication, discipline and determination.
Quite often, businesses are purely to 'get in, get out' and be focused on profit. From day one, this is not our driver, instead we prefer to build long lasting working relationships with our customers and interact with visits, newsletters, electronic mail and if required, telephone calls. These might be obvious to some, but to others it does not happen.
Remaining focused for every client ensures consistency.
