One of South Cheshire’s biggest security firms is creating new jobs after winning a contract with Stoke City Council.<\/p>\n

Alpha Omega, based in Crewe, has launched a recruitment drive as it expands its operation across the Potteries.<\/p>\n

It will be working to protect local landmarks such as Hanley Bus Station, John Street car park and Smithfield business quarter.<\/p>\n

The company, founded by former kickboxing champion Ken Lawton 22 years ago, provides mobile security, static guards, CCTV monitoring and key-holding services for companies on Crewe Business Park and Gadbrook in Northwich as well as local authorities like Cheshire East Council.<\/p>\n

Since the business was founded in 1997, Alpha Omega has grown and its door supervisors are a familiar sight outside nightclubs such as Nakatcha, Cheshire Cat and Harrisons in Nantwich.<\/p>\n

It employs more than 300 security personnel and dozens of stewards who ensure the safety of visitors to big crowd-pullers such as the Royal Cheshire Show and Nantwich Show.<\/p>\n

Mr Lawton, from Nantwich, said: “We are delighted to be working with Stoke-on-Trent City Council to look after some of the city’s most iconic landmarks and destinations.<\/p>\n

“Lockdown gave us empty buildings to protect and we are proud of how our team stepped up to the mark and remained vigilant and professional working round the clock.”<\/p>\n

Alpha Omega’s role now includes carrying out Covid 19 risk assessments at sites where it operates and training employees in the latest measures to protect them and other people.<\/p>\n

The health crisis has seen Alpha Omega officers deployed to ensure smooth running of one-way systems at recycling centres and to support hotels caring for homeless people.<\/p>\n

They have also been on guard at Northwood Stadium, Congleton Town Hall and Dimensions Leisure Centre.<\/p>\n

Operations director Andy Taylor said: “We always look recruit from the community where we are working and offer full training.<\/p>\n

“We constantly train to keep abreast of new threats and security challenges.<\/p>\n

“At this time, when we all need to be alert, common-sense and having a good head in a difficulty situation is key.”<\/p>\n

The company, founded on Lawton Street in Crewe, opened new headquarters on Crewe Business Park just before lockdown.<\/p>\n

The official opening drew many business guests and celebrity friends including TV star Ross Kemp and boxing hero ‘Big Joe’ Egan.<\/p>\n

Ross Kemp praised Alpha Omega<\/a> for employing local people.<\/p>\n

He said: “I like the ethos of the company, its integrity and empowerment of local individuals.”<\/p>\n

The company has up to 30 full and part-time positions available.<\/p>\n
