BusinessWatch

It’s not always easy to protect against threats to your business security, whether it’s the devastating effect of crime, a compromised IT system or the impact of a sudden illness.

How Secure is Your Business?

The Chamber aims to help businesses, to improve security and prevent crime, by working with them to identify the problems and provide solutions. One of the most effective ways of fighting crime and ultimately reducing the financial impact is for businesses to work together in your local area. The Chamber provides the opportunity for businesses to participate in collective security systems, to share information and to increase awareness of the issues and a way to keep everyone up to date with what is happening. It provides an easy route by which to report suspicious activity observed by vigilant staff and the potential to provide cost effective solutions on a shared basis.

The Chamber offers a range of services to help you stay ahead of the potential threats and focus on running your business, including:

• BusinessWatch: Tailored support to help protect you, your employees and your business against crime, plus support to reduce your overall security costs, starting with a free Premises Security Review. BusinessWatch membership is free for the first 12 months.
• WorkerWatch: Advanced technology to protect your employees.
• Internet Security Support: Expert technology and information to reduce the risks of an internet security failure.
• Personal Business Assistance: Free to members, this service provides a virtual PA service if you have to go into hospital.

Working with local companies, members and other stakeholders such as the police and local authorities, the Chamber has an established reputation for providing long-term, viable solutions that realise the benefit of the initial investment and facilitate the management of ongoing costs.
