As Project Supervisor for National Grid, I was employed to oversee all aspects of contract, value, construction, programme, and security on a Gas Compressor Station in Cambridgeshire. This station is a high valued asset, and thus required guarding from a highly competent and experienced security company.
POC were employed to guard our site 24/7 for around 10 months, and within a week of them starting on site I knew that the decision to utilise their expertise was a good one.
The site is located in a very remote part of the countryside, and is known to be a vulnerable asset because of this. Apart from the high value of the asset, there was also very high value items of plant on the site.
POC were exceptionally polite, professional, and a pleasure to deal with every single day. There were a few instances where out of hours National Grid Corporate Security attended site out of hours to test the response from the guards of POC. The reports that resulted were fantastic in every way – a credit to POC may I add.
Given the choice, I would certainly choose POC as the security company to look after any project that I work on.
