he success of the Key Security Group is not measured solely on the turnover or profits we generate.
For us, being an industry leader demands we manage our business interests in an accountable manner.
Community
We have delivered event security for Wakefield Hospice since 2010, with around 30 staff per year volunteering to work the 10k Road Race event for free, ensuring that all the funds raised from this event were used in their entirety for the benefit of the Hospice.
Following the divestment of our event security business in January 2016, the latest event in April 2016 saw our Managing Director provide a consultancy role and organise a new supplier for the security stewarding for the annual event for the 7 th consecutive year.
As we are no longer able to self-deliver this event, our role will be to provide sponsorship to allow a private security contractor to deliver the event again ensuring the Hospice benefit from the funds raised.
Environmental
Our aim is to ensure that all stakeholders are fully aware of their environmental responsibilities by providing environment awareness training and periodic updates to all employees.

Adherence to regulations is managed and monitored by our OHSAS 18001:2007 Health and Safety Management System accreditation.
