Firm makes investment in going green
INVESTING ... Delta One Security operations director Gary Potts, front, and contract manager Tom Barkes.
A COMPANY helping to keep South Tyneside safe as houses has invested about £100,000 in going green.
Delta One Security Services Ltd, based at Bede Industrial Estate, Jarrow, which employs 200 staff, is cutting costs and helping to save the planet after ploughing money into energy conservation features.
Launched in 1991, the security specialists have acquired two Nissan Leaf electric cars, which they plan to keep on the road with solar power.
Now protecting everything from council housing and educational buildings to seafront car parks across the region, Delta One aims to be in the vanguard of the latest techological developments in the security sector.
Company operations director Gary Potts said: “We believe going green ticks all the right boxes and we have invested almost £100,000 in the Nissan Leafs and in creating an alarm receiving centre (ARC), which can provide almost limitless cover to any number of buildings.
“Eight solar panels have been fitted to the roof of Delta House, and they will soon provide some of the power we need for the Nissan Leafs.”
The borough company has an exclusive security contract with South Tyneside Council, while also providing cover for South Tyneside Homes, including its Jarrow headquarters, Strathmore House, plus local landmark buildings such as the Hebburn site of South Tyneside College.
Delta One’s other major clients include enterprise company Tedco, at its bases in Jarrow, South Shields and Boldon, and Newcastle College.
Providing security cover across South and North Tyneside, Gateshead, Sunderland, Newcastle, County Durham, Teesside and Northumberland, the company’s services include everything from security guarding to keyholding, and from alarm response to CCTV installation.
