Southern Enterprise Awards 2021

62 | Southern Enterprise Awards 2021 Sep21351 Prestige CCTV Ltd is a nationwide provider of surveillance services for both homes and businesses seeking affordable yet high quality security solutions. As the company celebrates its recent success at the Southern Enterprise Awards 2021, we take a closer look at what sets Prestige apart in a highly competitive market. Initially conceived as part of a partnership in 2009, Prestige CCTV Ltd has been led by a singular mission for more than a decade: to offer high quality security products at fair prices to homeowners and SMEs across the UK. In the past, the security and surveillance market had been dominated by businesses that were best suited to working with large enterprises and handling complex and large-scale installations. Prestige recognised that the demand for such products was by no means limited to this demographic of clients, and the number of smaller businesses and homeowners seeking solutions was in fact increasing. However, they were often faced with excessive costs and a lack of accessibility to the products they needed – a fact that Prestige knew needed to change. Prestige entered the market with a series of services and products that centred around the company’s core values of offering fair, simple pricing on its systems without compromising on quality, performance, or service. As a result, Prestige’s clientele has evolved to be predominantly made up of SMEs and MSBs, who are able to benefit from the complete scope of surveillance solutions offered by the team, regardless of the complexity or scale of the installation and with total respect for their budgetary constraints. “We have always focused first on what the client needs and secondly on the technology to deliver that, rather than specialising in only one type of CCTV installation,” says David Gayler, Director of Prestige. “In the security industry, you need to have specialist knowledge and understand the products available. “Our unique selling point is that through our understanding of the market, when we survey and discuss with our clients their requirements for CCTV, we are able to understand exactly what they need and know all the available products to be able to deliver exactly what they want.” Best CCTV Installations Business 2021 - South East As a result, Prestige has become trusted by businesses and homeowners across the UK, often for multiple projects. And, with ever- increasing capabilities of technology and AI, Prestige’s offering is only getting better. More reliable and accurate intruder detection has led to a rise in proactive surveillance and live monitor alarm alerts through 24/7 systems rather than sole reliance on post-incident recordings. “More clients, especially in the South, are opting for monitoring services with 24/7 or overnight protection with our Alarm Receiving Centre to give that additional protection and instant response,” David tells us. Indeed, being based in the South has meant that Prestige has witnessed an increased awareness in business owners and homeowners of the importance of having reliable surveillance systems in place, instead of relying solely on neighbourhood vigilance or police patrols. As such, businesses are willing to invest in security for their workers, even when they’re working remotely – and Prestige is seeing the benefits. “Having weathered the storm of COVID-19 restrictions, we are looking forward to the rest of 2021,” David concludes. “With the diary filling up weeks in advance and one of our clients having secured over £50M funding to build more Biofuel fuelling stations - part of which we have been awarded for the CCTV security of these stations - we are expecting 2021 and 2022 to be our best years yet.” Contact: David Gayler Web Address: www.prestigesecurityuk.com
