Achilleus Shield service
Keyholding Services
Secure keyholding for commercial and residential property across Essex and Suffolk, removing the need for employees or managers to attend out-of-hours incidents.
Professional local protection
Keep keys controlled and people out of harm’s way.
Achilleus Shield holds an agreed set of keys under controlled arrangements and uses them only in accordance with the customer’s documented instructions. The service can stand alone or support alarm response, mobile patrols, lock and unlock, inspections and other protective measures.
Designed around the requirement
Accountable keyholding services from the outset.
A strong service specification reflects the site, operating hours, access arrangements, people at risk and the practical consequences of an incident.
Instructions, escalation, reporting and review arrangements are agreed before mobilisation so responsibilities remain clear.
