T3 Security - Based In The North East And Now Working Nationally

Issue 93

New contracts won in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

When T3 Security was first established eleven years ago, the company had a staff of two…the founders, Peter Moore and Richard Townsend.

Both of them already had extensive experience in the security industry but knew that there was a better way to help clients. Consequently, they decided to go their own way and do things differently.

It plainly works because as the company heads into its second decade, their total workforce is now approaching 500.

The rapid increase in the size of T3 Security is down their success in winning new contracts and retaining those who value the work that Peter and Richard started. Many of the clients which brought T3 Security on board in the early days, continue to use their services.

“We’re really proud of the fact that many of the clients we convinced to use T3 Security in our first few weeks of business, are still with us,” says Peter. “But the speed in which we’ve grown over the past few years has been wonderful.

“In terms of growth, the first half of 2023 has been one of the best periods for T3 Security. We’ve not only won new contracts here in the North East, but we’re now also working across several large cities further southÂ… places like Leeds, Sheffield and Lincoln.

One of our biggest new clients is the Stonegate Group who are ranked as the UK’s largest pub company with national outlets such as Yates’s and Slug & Lettuce. We began looking after a selection of their bars in York at the start of the year and then in February we started work for them in Leeds. March saw us add Sheffield and Lincoln to the portfolio.”

One of T3 Security’s other big clients is the NHS. Their relationship was strengthened further during the Covid 19 pandemic. Such has been the positive feedback from the NHS led T3 Security to secure a place on the NOECPC NHS framework, which now solidifies the relationship. They are now a preferred supplier and continue to offer security to most of the hospitals across the North East including the RVI, Freeman, Newcastle General, Durham University Hospital, as well as dozens of small drop-in centres.

“We work closely with a lot of councils,” adds Peter. “For example we’ve recently won the contract to look after all of Durham County Council’s transport hubs in places like Consett, Peterlee, Stanley and the new Durham City bus station which is due to open later this year.

Towards the end of last year we began providing security to Savill’s, the estate agent and property management company after winning a place on their approved supplier list. We look after their Trinity Square centre in Gateshead.”

As you can tell, T3 Security is moving from being a North East company to a national company.

Although our region will continue to be their main hub, they’ve had to set-up satellite offices and boosted their infrastructure by hiring regional managers in Yorkshire as they continue to grow.

They’ve also added a new key member of staff.

“We couldn’t have grown at such a pace without adding to the team. Although Richard and I are very much hands-on, we needed help. We’re delighted to introduce our Head of Operations Paul Gourley. Paul has over 30 years of experience working in the security industry…in his previous role Paul was National Operations Director for a large national security provider with over 2000 staff. He’s been a massive help to Richard and I.”

One thing is certain…T3 Security will continue to grow. They already have new contracts in the pipeline.

And of course one thing that being a large company can provide for clients, is flexibility. They are big enough to be able to cope with any size of contract.

They also have the workforce and national contacts to be able to work anywhere in the UK.
