Yesterday, I spoke to Martin while he was in APS office and yet again, he was so helpful. Each contact with Martin is always so positive and, in my opinion, he is an asset to APS. He is always courteous, respectful and nothing is ever too much for him.
I feel it necessary to give this positive feedback as we all sometimes get bogged with what is not working well and can fail to give recognition to the more positive things.
Nottingham City Transport
It was only by chance that we originally made contact with APS.
We already had a fire suppression system from another supplier for our live server room. We had a requirement for two new systems but our original supplier didn't seem interested. So we found APS as another local company and invited them to tender for the work.
From the first meeting with Ash, it was obvious he and APS knew their stuff and were very professional.
The installation engineers were professional and explained how it all worked post install. The service team always gets in touch to check when the services are convenient for us and books the appointments for us.
The same engineers service the installations as well so they are always familiar with the sites, installations and our H&S policies and procedures.
I recently asked our account manager, Ash, if it would be possible for them to take over maintenance and support of our original installation from the other supplier. He explained the process, got costs together and managed the changeover process everything went smoothly. APS do a great job of supporting and maintaining all of our fire suppression systems which brings with it definite peace of mind.
Freedom Active
We found APS to be completely professional from the first visit to assess out site to final completion. Communication and flexibility are important to us when we choose a service; so I am happy to say that APS were excellent at both!

We had an engineer called Kevin F come to site end of Aug 2022 and right from the beginning, he was very friendly, professional. He went above and beyond to answer our questions and ensured we understood our intercom system before he left. Usually when dealing with engineers, they are on a clock and need to get to another job, he was calm and considerate and would love to have him back if and when required!

For such a large job there was minimal disturbance and the engineers were more than happy to work around our business requirements.

I am writing to say Thank You for the brilliant level of service I have received from your company, I rang yesterday with an issue and the lady who answered was really helpful and got things sorted quickly. I spoke to an engineer on the phone who tried to sort the issue but we needed a new sensor fitting, this was done this morning by an engineer he was really helpful and polite and showed what he had done etc and didn’t leave until everything had tested ok.
We have our alarm regularly serviced by you and can honestly say we have never had a bad experience with everyone who visits have a high standard of workmanship, professional and a credit to your company.

George is a very conscientious, polite and efficient engineer that worked in a clean, safe and timely manner. Despite it being a Friday evening when usually everyone one is in a hurry to get off and start the weekend, George stayed to complete by tidying and vacuuming the area he had worked in. He took pride in his work and left the site as good as he could.

DBS Managed Offices
DBS Managed Offices, Derbyshire
We had a complex set up and requirements for a new fire alarm system, which needed a very detailed and tailored spec. This was accomplished by site visits with everyone involved, agreement to what was required and where it was to be sited plus much more. I have to say that the agreements were carried out to the last detail. The engineers on the day were conscientious and hard working, Jamie was friendly and helpful throughout (and since), the system is brilliant and the price was very competitive. Fully recommend APS.

We have just transferred all of our security management to APS and from the outset the service has been exemplary. Over the past week or so we have had engineers on site who have been so professional in the mammoth task that they have had to carry out. A big thank you to Ash, Jenny and the team at HQ, who have answered queries really quickly. Also a big thank you to Martin (CCTV & Intruder engineer) & Jordan(Fire Safety engineer) for being so accommodating to our needs whilst on site.

Brilliant service from the initial quote to the installation. The staff were all super friendly and knowledgeable and went out of their way to insure we got our system in place and up and running. Particular mentions to Jamie and Rachel whom I dealt with a lot throughout the process. Would highly recommend!
Fiona – Procurement Manager
I contacted Jamie, and his help was invaluable, he was fast to come out and look at the job, and there work was so professional and he helped liaise with the fire officers of Derby. They have been fantastic and I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you.
Erewash Indoor Bowling Centre
Erewash Indoor Bowling Centre, Derbyshire
Very pleased with the quality of work & standard of service we are getting from APS. Everyone we have come into contact with, from sales & admin, through to the tech & service teams have been helpful & friendly.
We first came into contact with APS when they took over the monitoring & maintenance of our alarm systems. Soon after we started taking to them about CCTV and it wasn't long before they installed us a new 4 camera system. To complete the circle, they have just completed work on a new, very easy to use, door entry system.
Adam – Housing Association
APS have completed a number of CCTV, alarm and personal protection systems for our organisation, and we have always found the company to be flexible, efficient, and very easy to deal with. The team is friendly, accessible, and knowledgeable. Their prices are very competitive too!

We chose APS after a Tender Process. The service that we received from start to finish during the tender process and installation was fantastic. All of their staff are polite, efficient and professional, nothing is too much trouble. The installation engineer who attended our site was helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable. He was also very clean and tidy and cleaned up as he went around, we hardly knew he was there. Brilliant, fantastic service.
Bill – Health & Safety Manager
Nottingham
APS Engineers have had to visit some of our high complex hostels and have carried out all works with the satisfaction from our Service Managers, and all works were carried out professionally, with care, precision and without disruption or incident to our organisations operations. I can recommend him highly and without reservation.
APS are very flexible to their response (turning orders around in quick time) and they are extremely clean and tidy in the workplace and never left any of our properties in disarray.
Inspire Gymnastics Academy
Inspire Gymnastics Academy, Nottingham
I originally came across APS while is was an Estates Manager for a large Educational Academy in Nottingham city. The companies that I inherited where not up to scratch, they would never repair our systems when we had called them out. This created huge admin issues trying to keep an eye on what they still had outstanding. APS and Chris are fantastic at what they do, the technical knowledge from sales to engineers is second to none. They came to site and repaired 98% of all issues they where called out for and I was told what need to be done to correct the other 2% of issues. . I can not recommend them highly enough.
I have moved on and I am currently a Director at Inspire Gymnastics Academy and I have ensured the APS are our preferred Fire and Intruder Alarm Company. When we have hundreds of young gymnasts through our doors each night the systems must be spot on and I know Chris and the APS team will deliver. We will not go anywhere else. Thank you for your service and dedication to quality work.
Megavaux Limited
Megavaux Limited, Stapleford, Nottingham
All work has been finished professionally on time and very friendly staff with no business interruptions at all. Chris Bee, was very helpful and Tom the engineer came after installations on 2-3 occasions to help us with additional training. I can recommend this company highly to anyone knowing their service and aftersales. Once again thanks to APS and their staff.
Paul
After repeated poor advice and service from another company we asked Chris Bee to look over the panel and sensors at our Long Eaton office; this was done promptly, resulting in a sensible proposal and we ordered the work to be done. All very satisfactory... we're now talking with Chris about another little project at another office!
The Printers
The Printers, Loughborough
We had been with Chubb for over thirty year but their service became so bad so we sought three quotes for a new system. APS were very slightly more costly than the other quotes BUT were far superior in their presentation. Chris Bee, their rep, was exceptionally helpful - had all the right advice and offered very good suggestions.
We needed a fast installation as Chubb had let us down and APS had the new system in an working within three days. Their installation engineers were also very helpful and took care with the work - one guy took a hoover around cleaning up as they worked in each area.
Try phoning their office - the Ladies who answer the phone are cheerful, friendly and know their jobs
All in all - a very professional and caring service - I would give them more than a "five"
Kevin
Mark – Loss Prevention Manager
We chose APS after a thorough and detailed ‘tender' process because we could tell at an early stage the level of professionalism and customer care we were signing up to. A year has passed and I can safely say our trust was not misplaced. Their office staff are efficient, the engineers are polite, knowledgeable and are willing to support our branches with ad-hoc training when it is required. The working relationship between our two companies is the best we could hope for in terms of understanding each other's requirements and limitations. APS have proven they can adapt to a company's needs without impacting their level of service and customer commitment. We would happily recommend APS Fire & Security to other businesses.
