Tamar Security is a specialist provider of bespoke security solutions for domestic, commercial and industrial clients
Tamar Security is celebrating 30 years in the security industry in August 2015. Their vast experience in installing and maintaining security systems for domestic, commercial and industrial clients has over the past 30years has led them to be one of the South West’s leading providers.
The company was established in 1985 by Keith Southwell, who saw a gap in the market in the East Devon area for security provision and took the bold step of starting his own business, initially supplying alarms from home, as a sole trader.
The business gathered speed very swiftly and he soon opened his own shop in Exmouth.
Within a few years Tamar Security had won sought after accreditation from the National Security Inspectorate (NSI) and has since gained accreditation in Quality Management Systems to ISO9001:2008, and recognition from the NSI as a Gold standard company.
The company continued to expand through continuing sales and the acquisition of several smaller companies. Keith was later joined in the company by his wife Sara, who now holds the position of Managing Director, and Martin Shearer, who started in 2001 as a trainee alarm technician, has worked his way through the ranks and now become the Technical Director, thus enabling the company to grow further.
Three years ago they had the opportunity to make the outright purchase of Venture Security Ltd, one of Exeter’s larger independent NSI Gold alarm companies. This enabled the company to double in size, necessitating their move to new premises on the outskirts of Exeter and making them one of the largest independent security providers in the west country.
They now operate within a 50 mile radius of Exeter, with a compliment of 10 qualified technicians covering the West Country, all highly trained in all aspects of domestic and commercial electronic security installation and maintenance.
Although the company has grown substantially over the years, the quality of customer service remains paramount. Their service engineers, office staff and telephone response team are highly experienced and most have been with the company for many years.
