Successful RISQS Code Update

Successful RISQS Code Update

Lingwood Security Management have recently updated our RISQ codes to enable us to provide Safety Critical Rail Labour to our clients.

In response to the COVID-19 breakout, one of the things our management team looked at was new ways to work with existing clients, to help them get back to work as quickly as possible.

Following conversations with our clients, through our extensive CRM system, it became immediately clear that it would be helpful to them if they could use Lingwood Security Management as a one-stop-shop for their security, cleaning and labour hire. All services provided by one supplier, meaning they only deal directly with one person and everything is then coordinated for them from there.

As a result, we approached RISQS to update our supplier codes to enable us to expand our remit of services under their accreditation. Our updated codes will be verified by audit.

Positive Strategy

This positive strategy has allowed us to expand our own business and give our clients what they require at the same time, so it represents a winning outcome for all concerned.

Speaking following the update, Alan Lingwood, Managing Director, said: “2020 has been a year like no other, both on a business level and a personal level. We’ve seen unprecedented changes in the national workplace, with an explosion in PPE requirements and temporary legislation covering all things from distancing to working hours. One of the things we always strive to be at Lingwood Security Management is responsive. Responsive to change; responsive to client needs and responsive to emerging needs in the wider market. This update to our RISQS codes is the result of great work by the management team, thinking on their feet and acting quickly to support our clients once again. Well done to all involved.”

Background to RISQS

GB rail’s supplier assurance scheme RISQS is run by the industry, for the industry, under the stewardship of RSSB.

RSSB’s Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme features a smarter, quicker, easier platform and enhanced audit services, providing the industry with supplier assurance fit for the future.

Thank you for helping out at Carlisle Kingmoor HOOB a couple of weeks ago when the gates failed – really good prompt service!
Gemma Mullin Network Rail Works Delivery Co-ordinator, Lancs & Cumbria
The guards are always on time, polite and carry out their duties to a high standard, even leaving the cabins mopped and sanitized to keep our site working. We have frequent visits by the company management and a good line of commutation with Summer. I will definitely be using Lingwood Security again and have recommended them to my colleagues.

First off may I express my satisfaction with the excellent work the cleaners have done at Stonepit quarry. The areas they cleaned are sparkling and they have put in a good shift. The second thing I’d like to express is our happiness with the daytime security guard we have had this week. The guy has performed very well indeed and deserves praise as such.

The security guard turned up in plenty of time, and he was really helpful and looked after our site for us well. The festival went really well. Even though we all got soaked at the end when we were packing up.

I am the Site SHEQ Manager for the National Grid House in Warwick where we have your Guards on site. I would just like to say that we have had a very positive experience with your guards and will be looking to employ them on future sites should there be a requirement. Two Guards in particular have been extremely helpful and carried out their duties with tenacity and followed company procedures to the letter. I must add that these two guards are a credit to Lingwood and promote a very positive image of the level of service that your company provides. I would therefore seek to hire these guys again should the opportunity arise.

The phone is answered immediately and everyone I have dealt with has been friendly, professional and on-the-ball. They are always willing to bend over backwards to supply security solutions even at a moment’s notice. I would highly recommend Lingwood Security, and look forward to working with them on future projects.
