History & product development of Securit GB Ltd

In August 2004 Phil Churm and Caroline Moore created Securit GB Ltd. Our company is continuing to grow from strength to strength thanks to our great working partnership, Phil’s 25 years experience in the sheet metal industry, Caroline’s experience in design and sales.

For the first 8 months we were located in Rothertham South Yorkshire and were developing our first product Securit Bike Store. This was designed by Phil Churm, who has been a keen biker since he was 17 years old. Our Bike Store is unlike other suppliers as we understand what a biker needs… something that is easy to use, secure, limited maintenance and affordable on the pocket.

Due to better prospects for the business Securit GB Ltd relocated to Unit 4 Fan Road Staveley, where Securit GB Ltd developed the Securit Scooter Store, Site Store Range and many more products. In May 2008, Securit GB Ltd relocated to bigger premises Unit 6 Foxwood Road, Chesterfield S41 9RF.

We have sold over 700 units to various supplies from Met Office (Bedford), Pattonair (Derby), Airchannel Ltd, Royal British Legion, Bolsover Council, Leicester City Council, Portsmouth Council, Gloucester Council, Newport Police Station, Newark Housing Association, council contracting companies e.g. Craftmasters (StratfordUpon Avon), Real Access (Tyne & Wear), Old Town Development (Swindon) and nationwide mobility dealers.

The main criteria for our company is to manufacture purpose built stores that are;

PURPOSE BUILT   QUALITY MADE PRODUCT    SIMPLE   SOLID    SECURE    AFFORDABLE     LOW MAINTENANCE   DELIVERED ON TIME   NO PLANNING PERMISSION REQUIRED (please check with your neighbours) DELIVERED & ASSEMBLED BY A PROFESSIONAL & FRIENDLY TEAM

Unlike other storage firms we manufacture all our products in house. We can offer the complete package from a quality made product that can be adapted to suit your requirements, nationwide delivery, assembly and after care service. We listen to what our customer’s requirements and are regularly reviewing the design.

Ian (from Malvern) “Very pleased with your service & product, will recommend Bike Stores to any body”. Allan (From Hitchin) "No problems building the Bike Store, very easy to construct and very well made. Will recommend Securit Stores to anybody"

Business Awards

In 2007, Securit GB Ltd was awarded bronze in the Barclay's Bank Trading Places Award.

In October 2007, Caroline & Phil were invited to the final the awards and were presented by BBC presenter Fiona Bruce, the bronze award prize including £2,000 worth of directory advertising from Thompson Local Directories, plus software worth £450 from Microsoft.

John Davis, Barclays marketing director for local business and chairman of the judging panel, said: "The quality of entries this year was exceptional but the judges agreed that Securit (GB) shone out as a real-life example of an outstanding business that has thrived despite what seemed like impossible odds.

"All of us congratulate Caroline and Phil on being named one of the eight bronze winners and we hope their inspiring story will prove to other people that self-employment can be hugely rewarding if you've got a dream and the guts and determination to make it work."

Due to the media coverage from the awards, in February 2008, we were invited to the launch of the Leonard Cheshire Enabled 4 Enterprise, where we one of five nationwide companies that we selected to speak on running a business with a disability. With our foresight and forward thinking speech this clinched Securit GB Ltd 70th place in the 100 Start up Crimson Business list.

In 2008, Securit GB Ltd has been invited to be listed as an business ambassadors for Make Your Mark in manufacturing and engineering.
