Utterly reliable and a critical part of the team. Always ready to step up and don't wait to be asked. Safe, reliable, excellent value and core to the business success. Can't recommend enough!

K1 Security took the time ahead of the event to understand what we wanted, how the evening was intended to work and what role we wanted them to play. They then proceeded to play that role perfectly. In terms of the property, security and managing people that came and went they were very present and visible, ensuring that only the invited teenagers entered the property, but they were also incredibly friendly, relaxed and welcoming, ensuring that all invitees entered in the right spirit. Inside the event they were very discreet, just making sure that all was well and, if needed, gently helping where it might have been needed. In short, they were a huge asset and a significant part of a very successful evening.

Following a very distressing and highly complex event which occurred on our premises, it was suggested to us we get in touch with K1 and hire them to keep our property secure and us, 3 proprietors, safe for the duration, until the problem had been solved. At first we hired 2 guards and within 30 minutes, following an assessment by the initial 2, we then had 9 guards arrive at our premises and within a matter of minutes. We only booked for one night as we believed there would be a resolve within this time. Unfortunately, not the case. K1 refused to leave us vulnerable and unprotected and stayed on a further 12 hours. Had they not taken the decision, the next day would have turned out very differently. Stephen and Martin then provided us, again at very short notice, with an extra 3 guards for the night as per our request. From start to finish these guys were efficient, thorough, reassuring, well mannered, compassionate and to be honest our saviours. Bearing in mind the police were aware of our problem, yet we were still left vulnerable had it not been for K1. Price point was also fantastic — we were pleasantly surprised on arrival of the invoice. We would absolutely recommend K1 Security.
