Brook Security of Ashford Road, Bearsted
BROOK Security of Bearsted is the latest company to fall victim to an internet scam.
Another company in Kent, masquerading as Brook, has been investigated by trading standards officers after complaints in the Maidstone area about sales methods and poor service. Clients were taken in by a website listing posing as the real Brook Security, based in Ashford Road and established 20 years ago.
Managing director Terry Roffey was shocked by the experience
and is eager to underline his company's credentials. He explained: "Trading standards had a couple of calls about a 'Brook Security', which just had a mobile phone number. Clients had to pay up front and were not happy about the way they were pressurised. We would never do that. "We asked for the link to be
taken off the website. "It does make you feel a bit vulnerable. The fact that someone could start up without proof of registration numbers,
"There is a very rigorous process to achieve that accreditation, performing up to certain standards and screening all our staff." Nationally, there are 1,000 companies that meet those requirements, of which 100 are in the South East. Mr Roffey is the regional representative for the industry body. "So for someone to purport to be us is a bit disappointing. Your reputation can be damaged," he said.
"But we have been protecting homes and businesses for 20 years and have Nacoss Gold accreditation for burglar alarms, CCTV and access control. "It means the systems we install meet insurance requirements and are police- recognised.
"Each system is uniquely tailored to the client's needs. If you have pets we will put in a pet-tolerant system and if your business has rodents we will
build a system for that." Mr Roffey added: "I have been in the security industry for 39 years and for the past seven years I have sat on the NSI Nacoss technical liaison committee. "We are a local independent business without ties to any manufacturer or product. We therefore specify the best solution for our clients." * For accredited companies, go to
