Company History
1988 - DSC commence business as MLA members
dsc security is a privately owned business which was originally established in December 1988 by current Directors Ian Jolley and Les Rayment. We started business from a small office in Bracknell mainly supplying and installing locks, safes and access control equipment. DSC successfully applied for Company membership of the Master Locksmith Association as Les Rayment was already an MLA member.
1990 - First shop acquired
Within 18 months we decided that we needed to increase our profile by taking on a shop premises in Crowthorne High Street, which served us well and saw us expand our services into CCTV and Intruder Alarm Installation and other areas of property security.
1993 - NACOSS accreditation achieved
In December 1993 we achieved accreditation to install Intruder Alarm Systems to strict quality guidelines.
1996 - BS EN ISO 9002:1994 accreditation achieved
As DSC grew in size and took on more staff, it was obvious we were out-growing the shop and in January 1996 we relocated to our current shop premises. An important part of maintaining our NACOSS approval was to achieve BS EN ISO 9002 Quality Assurance accreditation, which we gained in July 1996.
1998 - DSC purchase 4KL
With business expanding and our reputation increasing, by January 1998 DSC reached a stage where it was ready to take on an input of extra business and consequently secured the purchase of a local Intruder Alarm Company, 4KL Security, which among their clientele, had a core of house builders they installed alarms for. We entered this new area of installation and today have built up good relationships with many developers, working with them to supply and install quality equipment for their eventual clients.
1999 - DSC Joins BSIA
DSC became members of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) to enable us to be at the forefront in effecting changes in the security industry..............
2001 - 'Gold Shield' Award
With our installation experience and the use of quality equipment, April 2001 saw DSC receive an Industry Award from our Alarm Receiving Centre, The 'Gold Shield' award, recognises Companies achieving the lowest number of false alarms over a period of one year for monitored systems, and for the year ended April 2001 dsc security were the Group 2 winners of this award. We have been trying to emulate this achievement each year since, but the competition from other installers is intense. It was a great honour to achieve the award and has strengthened our resolve to win it again in the future.
2003 - BS EN ISO 9001:2000 accreditation achieved
After much hard work, in December 2003 DSC achieved NACOSS Gold Certification for the installation of Intruder Alarms, Access Control and CCTV.
2007 - DSC Alarms Re-launches as dsc security
After years of being known as DSC Alarms Ltd we decided to re-brand the company as dsc security, along with a new logo and an updated corporate identity. It was felt that the new name would allow us to continue to trade with greater diversity, as we are now installing far more than just Alarm Systems.
2008 - dsc security sponsor Bracknell Rugby Club
2008 - 10 Year Club
A total of 6 DSC employees have now reached 10 years or more with the company
2008 - dsc security enters 20th year in business in 2008
Another milestone in our business, we are proud to reach the twentieth anniversary of dsc security this year. The company is continuing to go from strength to strength and this achievement will only help with our resolve to remain one of the Thames Valleys leading security companies
