SECOM Plc is one of the world’s leading electronic security companies, operating in 22 countries worldwide with a 58,000 - strong workforce. Our roots are in Japan, where we developed our distinctive service-orientated approach to state-of-the-art security. SECOM is a market leader providing customised security and fire solutions throughout the UK to homes, small and medium businesses, major high street brands, the Police and Government establishments, and the financial sector. Our UK head office in Surrey coordinates SECOM's operations throughout mainland Britain from 7 regional centres and 12 support offices. With over 800 employees we look after our customer base of some 60,000 private and public organisations, spanning a cross section of manufacturing, service and commercial industries. The head office also houses our centrally managed Control & Command Centre, which is one of the most advanced anywhere in the world. It enables us to provide 24-hour a day strategic security coverage for our clients’ assets, allowing them to focus less on security and more on their business objectives. SECOM have been driving an industry-leading apprenticeship project to invest in young talent to ensure the industry has a healthy supply of professional engineers tomorrow. Our purpose-built National Training and Development Centre has a state of the art audio visual system to allow for effective communications, differentiated teaching resources and distance learning opportunities, as well as a myriad of usages and opportunities for our current staff. Our apprenticeship offer will follow a structured pathway to ensure that the apprentice can develop the necessary skills, knowledge and behaviour to succeed in the industry, with a specific focus on training in line with SECOM’s own business standards and the technologies of the future.
