Cava Security Services has been operating since 2005 and has 30 years experience in the industry.
Over the years, we have dealt with thousands of Intruders, Fire, CCTV and Lone worker call outs per year, achieving average response times of just under 30 minutes, giving our customers total peace of mind. The business has grown by reinvesting any profits achieved year on year back into the business, becoming one of the largest independent providers of Key Holding and Alarm Response in the West Midlands. We expanded our operations to Site Security, Concierge, Patrols, Site Opens and Closes, Vacant Premise Inspections, Events, Remote CCTV Monitoring, CCTV installations and Lone Worker Protection, all controlled from our very own purpose built 24 hours Service Centre. The success of our business is predominantly down to one thing and that is the team we have working at Cava; this is throughout the Company from senior management level to our conscientious officers on the ground. Having an excellent team has had a huge impact on us achieving top 10% of Security Companies in the UK that are audited at the highest level through the SIA Approved Contracting Scheme.
