Kingdom Directors raise cash for charity (in a taxi)!!

http://www.virginmoneygiving.com/teamBarton On the 30 October 2011,Terry Barton, Managing Director of Kingdom Security Limited and Agnes Barton, Finance Director, successfully completed a charity rally organised by Karma Enduro. 25 vehicles took part in this major annual fundraising event, travelling 2000km across Southern India. The 2000km rally (in the famous ambassador taxi – see pic) included a huge array of different terrains. From busy towns and cities, to arid desert plains, dense seldom used forest trails and on to mountain passes, it promises to be a real test of endurance. Thank you to everyone who made a donation and raising funds for Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity and Adventure Ashram. Rainbow Trust supports families in England who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness. Adventure Ashram was set up to help the poorest people on the route that Karma Enduro takes through India, to achieve a higher standard of living through better health and education. Every penny you donated (see above web link) went go directly to the charities, making a massive difference to children in England and India. Many, many thanks Terry and Agnes

Inside Kingdom – Happy New Year–we laughed, we cried and we achieved!

Thank you to all our 2011 customers and readers, without you we could not have achieved what we did in 2011. 2010 was a challenging year but 2011 came with more challenges for most businesses because of the world economy. However, with your support we came through it and continued to strive in many areas and add value and innovation. Our marketplace, yet again, changed shape in 2011 with many smaller security operators dropping out the market and fewer specialising in risk, loss and guarding and even more mergers and acquisitions. 2012 will be yet another challenging year for Kingdom, however if we continue to win and retain business and continue to provide a quality service supported with robust systems, innovation, the right profit margins, and added value we believe we will come through 2012 in a strong position. We look forward to enjoying the 2012 journey with you. Have a great 20012 from all within the Kingdom team. In the interim, below is a snap shot of our 2011 success stories:-

Inside Kingdom–Cybercrime FREE health check

Economic crime remains on the rise in Britain as business and public sector organisations struggle in the face of economic austerity and spending cuts. Cybercrime is now the third most common type of economic crime. The direct cost and the collateral damage of cybercrime strikes an organisation at its core with the effects  seriously damaging the perception of a brand, leading to loss of market share. As headcounts fall in IT control functions across the different industries, more fraud overall will go undetected, Organisations need to be vigilant and proactive when fighting economic / cybercrime. Key stats: Over half of UK respondents experienced economic crime in the last 12 months Middle managers are responsible for two thirds of internal fraud. Of those respondents who reported economic crime, over a quarter experienced cybercrime 83% of respondents feared reputational damage as the biggest consequence of cybercrime. 45% of UK organisations didn’t have any cyber security training in the last 12 months Kingdom have a specialist division of cybercrime protection experts. Call Mark Wallace (Senior Operating Executive -  0845 051 7700) for your FREE cybercrime health check.

November, Movember, dare you look?

Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in the UK and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. The Kingdom HQ team got involved and it wasn’t pretty. Well done to all who took part – but its time now to take them off!!

Merry Christmas from the Kingdom team

There doesn’t seem to be much positive world news around but the good news is that in only a few more sleeps  the big man himself will be here again! With the world economy falling to bits the usual pace within Kingdom continued in 2011. It has definitely been a challenging but exciting adventure in 2011. Thank you so very very much for being a Kingdom customer in 2011 or a reader of our monthly newsletter. See you in 2012 Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year from the Kingdom Team Apologies, but we just couldn’t help it:- Why does Santa have 3 gardens? So he can ho-ho-ho. Why was Santa's little helper depressed? Because he had low elf esteem. What was so good about the neurotic doll the girl was given for Christmas? It was wound up already.
