Darker nights – more burglaries.
As the days get shorter it creates opportunities for burglars as there are more hours of darkness and daylight fades earlier in the evening before people get home. With the schools back and holidays over, there are few people around in residential areas during the day. Burglars can often operate unnoticed. It’s always a good… Continue reading Darker nights – more burglaries.
June 2014 Review and End of Financial Year Statement
June saw the 10th trading anniversary for GuardHome, and like previous years, and despite hard trading conditions, we achieved another growth in our turnover figures for the full year. Competition is harder than ever with many potential clients and householders in particular opting for the cheaper uncertified or DIY wireless alarm systems. This is also… Continue reading June 2014 Review and End of Financial Year Statement
May 2014 Review
What a month May turned out to be? Our focus remains on the preparation work to get our new offices complete for opening on the 28th June.

March 2014 Review
I think we can finally conclude that the Ark building business idea can be put on hold for now. I will need to check the good book to see how we handle Sahara dust and European pollutants, especially as the Eastern Europeans seem to have the car washing business nicely tied up (am I sounding… Continue reading March 2014 Review
Attention To Detail – Does Your Alarm Company Clean Your Bell Box?
A Clean Bell Box! This might seem a small insignificant point, but if you think about it, it is incredibly important! This is what Attention To Detail (ATD) is all about! When we install alarm systems we place a highly visible branded bell box (they haven’t contained bells for sometime but old habits die hard) usually… Continue reading Attention To Detail – Does Your Alarm Company Clean Your Bell Box?
February 2014 Review
February 2014 was a bit of a mixed month really. After a period of sustained wet weather, where flooding seemed to be the biggest risk, the weather finally calmed down towards the end of the month and we had some truly delightful spring like days.
