Supplier performance evaluation and tendering
With such a busy schedule, it’s hard for you, as a security user, to know how your security suppliers are performing. Following a tender process usually run by procurement, and most probably cost-driven, it’s over to you to manage. Yet you have a day job and how can you be expected to know the intricate detail of what engineers and security staff should be doing.Read more

Physical Security surveys
Criminals undertake hostile reconnaissance of sites they wish to target; the reason they may target yours, is if they know better than you what you have or haven’t got installed.
The greatest deterrent to prevent crime against any business is determined at the design stage. Sadly, many businesses rely on the main contractors or property departments to specify installations to reduce the risks of criminal activity. All too often this becomes a price-driven, tickbox exercise:Read more
- 1mm thick, cheap, imported, hollow, steel fire exit doors with basic 2 point push bar attached
- Perforated shutters with limited block wrap arounds and no anti-ram or anti grind capabilities
- Standard laminated glazing
- Standard IP CCTV
- Red wall detectors

Asset tracking and recovery
Losing assets is not only a significant financial loss, it also inhibits your ability to deliver the service or product expected by your customers. If criminals are successful and not brought to justice, then your business becomes a target for further criminal activity. It is therefore essential to firstly deter the crime being committed, but if this fails, detection and detainment are key to preventing a recurrence.

Investigations (WZ investigators)
Sadly some employees are dishonest. Once a risk is identified the hard task of proving the dishonesty then begins. Our team of advanced trained investigators has many years’ experience in the Wicklander-Zulawski method of Non-Confrontational interviewing along with full investigation experience.
Using a structured and unique approach to the interviews of suspect employees or non-employees is proven to be an ideal solution for organisations in resolving cases and determining when an individual is being truthful. Our team of investigators is able to support you in conducting either full investigations or just the interviewing stage, producing a detailed Evidence Pack suitable for either internal disciplinary action or criminal proceedings.

Civil Recovery
Civil recovery enables businesses to obtain financial compensation using the civil law against those who commit external or internal theft, fraud, damage, trespass, or similar offences against your business.
The criminal justice system is increasingly stretched, and our customers know that even if they do report an incident to the Police or Action Fraud, the case has to be proven beyond reasonable doubt to guarantee a prosecution, and in most cases they are not going to recover any losses. An effective process for identifying theft with the threat of dismissal and instigation of civil proceedings is a major deterrent. The offender is left in no doubt that if they could be served with a County Court Judgement (CCJ), which will impact on their ability to get employment or credit in the future.
Read more Following strict legislation, qualified lawyers will act on your behalf to ensure that your business and brand are protected; secondly, they will confirm the identity of the offender, communicating with them until a financial settlement and resolution is agreed. This could involve taking the individual to court, where costs and compensation will be awarded. A key feature of the Civil Recovery process is that it is commission-based. So if Lodge Service fails to collect the compensation from the offender, then there is no cost to your business. Even where financial compensation has been received, the commission is taken from that award, which is all good news for your profits. Lodge can combine this service with any existing contracts and service provision, or as a separate, stand alone service. Please contact us to find out more. Read less
