Recent new business acquisitions in the Southampton, Bournemouth and Portsmouth areas have increased the Manned Guarding hours provided to our clients to over 5,000 per week. This is in addition to over 250 Mobile Vehicle Patrol locations and 150 Keyholding/Alarm Response clients who we service in the Southern area.

Eagle Hoburne has also just commenced year two of a five year contract with Hampshire County Council. We are providing Mobile Vehicle Patrols and Keyholding services to 174 schools, to deter unwanted activity, overnight and of course during non term times. This long term partnership is part of our portfolio that includes clients who we have served for many years, and who have benefited from our "Hands On" approach to day to day service management.

Our in house training division reports that we are well underway in preparation for Security Industry Association (S.I.A) Licencing with the additional Officer training requirements. All S.I.A Licencing training has to be fully completed before March 2006. Our Managing Director Rick Ashton and Regional Operations Manager Danny Surface are among the staff who have already undertaken training.

We are also pleased to announce the completion of our new Company brochure outlining the services that we provide. Should you require a copy please do not hesitate to contact us at our Head Office.

Eagle Hoburne Security Services are proud to announce that they have been awarded Approved Contractor Status by the Security Industry Authority. This prestigious award means that all of our present and future customers know that when dealing with Eagle Hoburne, they are working with a progressive, forward thinking company who are compliant at all times with current security licensing legislation.

Our Owner and Chairman, Peter Baker, issued the following statement:

"I would like to congratulate our Managing Director, Rick Ashton, and all of our staff in their achievement in gaining ACS status so soon after its inception. This award is testimony to the hard work and commitment demonstrated by all of our team. It also shows that independent Manned Guarding Companies, if they have historically worked to the relevant British Standards, can comply and work with SIA legislation as well as, if not better than, the National Companies."
