Charter Security was founded in 1980 by Gerry and Joyce Lambert.
Operating from offices in Barking, they set out to do things
differently by offering customers an exceptional service built
around their requirements not ours. Next, they agreed to value
employees and provide a fair and rewarding workplace. Both of these
objectives provided the foundations for the success that was to
follow.
The company grew rapidly, providing value-adding security
solutions across the South East. We relocated to our current
offices in Cambridge Road in 2000 and continued to develop our
people and services. Today, we're recognised as one of the leading
security companies within London and the South East. In keeping
with our corporate logo, when we promise clients something, we make
sure we deliver.
Our long-serving and loyal workforce is supported by a quality
assured process and has access to state-of-the-art technology.
We've worked with hundreds of clients and have successfully
overseen security at a number of prestigious locations including
Waterloo Station, Tower Bridge, the Channel Tunnel Rail Link and
more recently, the London 2012 Aquatics Centre.
Our clients also have the peace of mind of knowing that we've
gained a host of highly regarded accreditations including the
Security
Industry Authority Accredited Contractors Scheme (SIA
ACS), BS EN ISO
9001, BS EN ISO
14001,
BS OHS18001, PAS 99, CHAS,
SAFE
Contractor and Link - Up.
In addition to these, we've been active members of International
Professional Security Association since 1985. We are
active members of our Professional Security Associations, our
Police Associations and in addition members of our local Chamber of
commerce. We are the main sponsors for the Barking Football and
Rugby Club.
