Seeing the Big Picture in the World of Security


Welcome to the second instalment of the ‘Safety First’ column for The Northern Echo.

Each month, I give the inside track on what The Sparta Group – the North-East’s leading security company - is doing to keep businesses and householders safe.


Over the past 11 years, we’ve developed a respected track record, a lot of knowledge, and a growing customer base.

I hope you find these columns useful, and please don’t hesitate to get in touch if we can help with any of your security needs…


COMPANY UPDATE

What I love most about running Sparta is the variety of work that comes our way. You never know what the next assignment is going to be when the phone rings.

For example, we were recently called in by BT Sport to look after the security ahead of the unveiling of a stunning mural in Darlington, to honour the world’s first professional black footballer, Arthur Wharton.

BT Sport commissioned world-famous street artist Jay Kaes to paint the mural on the side of The Arthur Wharton Foundation building in Widdowfield Street, and it’s a wonderful tribute to a sporting hero.


Special credit has to go to Shaun Campbell, who has dedicated his life to recognising the importance of Arthur, who played in goal for Darlington Football Club, and was also the fastest man on the planet.

Having been born in Ghana, Arthur came to Darlington as a 19-year-old and Shaun has fought tirelessly to make sure his story is an inspiration to future generations.

Our job was to make sure the site of the mural, and all of the expensive television equipment, was kept secure ahead of the unveiling.

Our employee, Tori Creighton (below with Shaun Campbell) looked after this particular contract and was bowled over by the occasion. She wrote this on social media: “I have loved every minute, and I’m so grateful to have been able to be behind the scenes of pure magic and history.”

Sparta Helping to Bridge The Gap

A NEW survey by the NFU shows that over the past 12 months, one in three farmers has been a victim of crime, with Yorkshire farmers spending more than the national average on crime prevention measures. The NFU says it is, therefore, crucial that candidates in the forthcoming Police & Crime Commissioner elections commit to prioritise rural crime as a strategic objective. The survey, carried out by the NFU with nearly 2,000 farmers across the country, highlighted the extent to which rural areas are being actively targeted by criminals. It also focused on the cost of crime to farm businesses, how often crimes are reported and how farmers feel about the police response as well as how much farmers are spending on crime prevention. Nationally, farmers reported facing average losses of £4,400 as a result of rural crime and nearly 60 per cent of respondents said they believed crime levels were increasing. Reporting levels were good, with 60 per cent saying they reported the most recent incident to the police. But, of those that failed to do so, three out of five said it was because no police response was expected. While more than half of respondents felt that insufficient police resource was devoted to tackling rural crime, a slight majority (53 per cent) felt that the police had taken sufficient action when they reported the most recent crime. “The impact of crime on farms across our patch is the most common problem farmers raise with us time after time,” said NFU North East Regional Director, Adam Bedford.
