| The Team |
| Chris Wheeler and Terry Cambridge (Company Directors) |
|
Total Care Security was formed 5 years ago by Chris Wheeler and Terry Cambridge; both individuals have a long-standing career history in various security fields.
Chris and Terry had come to the decision that the security industry was heading for the biggest shake up it had ever seen, with the implementation of the Security Industry Authority licence. The S.I.A licence was an opportunity for professional people and companies to move forward under the guidance of the S.I.A and change the way that the security industry was perceived in the past.
The ethos of Chris and Terry is to demonstrate to clients that a cost effective security service could be supplied providing consistent levels of professionalism 365 days a year, with Total Care Security providing a one stop shop for security services.
This ethos starts with the selection process and training of our security staff. Total Care Security has committed ties to the British Army resettlement process and has been awarded City & Guilds Centre Approval for Training, therefore this provides us with a supply of trained licensed security officers. |

He has a passion for his work and is a great believer in being able to work and to train others to work “outside the box”.
