Veritech Security - UK Security Solutions

What Veritech Security - UK Security Solutions does

Veritech Security, trading as Veritech Systems Limited, is a UK-based integrated security solutions provider founded in 2009 and headquartered in Southampton, Hampshire. The company delivers a comprehensive portfolio combining physical guarding services — including SIA-licensed manned guarding, NASDU-approved K9 security dog teams, and mobile patrols — with electronic security systems comprising commercial CCTV installation, perimeter intrusion detection (infrared, microwave, fibre-optic, and radar), access control (biometric, RFID, ANPR, and turnstile), and remote CCTV monitoring. All electronic systems are linked to an in-house 24/7/365 Control Centre staffed by SIA-licensed operators, enabling alarm verification, incident escalation, and lone worker support. The technology stack integrates Hikvision CCTV hardware via Hik-Connect, PARiM workforce scheduling software, AI-driven video analytics (motion/intrusion detection, facial recognition, ANPR, behaviour analysis, thermal imaging), and GPS-tracked 4G radios for field personnel.

The company serves eight primary verticals: construction and development (its largest segment, with named clients including Sir Robert McAlpine, Wates, Bloor Homes, Bellway, Crest Nicholson, and Galliford Try), student accommodation (Student Roost, CRM Students, Collegiate), corporate and commercial premises, property management, healthcare and education, local authority, vacant property, and maritime. Customer engagement runs through an enterprise field-sales motion anchored by free site surveys, a multi-step website quote tool, and a 24/7 freephone number, with no franchise or subcontractor model — services are delivered by employed SIA-licensed officers and in-house engineers.

Veritech generates revenue across recurring and transactional streams: subscription-based manned guarding and CCTV monitoring contracts, usage-based mobile CCTV tower hire, one-time installation revenue for CCTV and access control systems, and ongoing maintenance agreements. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to site risk, hours, and equipment specification. The firm holds SIA Approved Contractor status placing it in the top 1% of UK contractors, alongside ISO 9001, ISO 14001, Cyber Essentials, Constructionline, safecontractor, Achilles Link-up, RISQS, NASDU, FIA, and Gold FIR accreditations. No external funding has been disclosed; the company appears to be founder-led under Managing Director Paul Oldridge.

Scale indicators7 records

Broad incumbents
