Canterbury Spinners
Gate Systems

The Magnetic Automation drives have been installed around our site for some time now (originally five years ago, and recently last year); and the reliability has been very impressive.  The few times we have had to call VIP Security (like when snow/ice blocked up the running rail), the responsiveness and friendliness of your team has also been fantastic.

I would be happy to recommend your company to any other business or company who require high reliability gates and impressive 24/7 service.

Forsyth Barr House
Siemens SiPass Access Control System

We have recently engaged VIP Security Ltd (VIP to upgrade the software for the Siemens SiPass system at Forsyth Barr House - 764 Colombo Street, Christchurch.  The upgrade provides us with the latest software platform and allows us to produce new and flexible reporting features.

We find Siemens SiPass system user friendly and this has helped reducing the ongoing cost as we are able to carry out most of the daily programming in-house.

We have a good ongoing relationship with VIP Security Ltd.

Nelson and Wairau Hospital
Electronic Security System

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for the excellent service provided to NMDHB over the last three years or so.

The responsiveness of your company to all service requests and installations has in my view been exemplary.  This is no doubt assisted by your good working relationship with local firm Nelson Alarms, who also attend on site with great speed.  Your security projects using the Siemens SiPass and SiStore systems have been installed on time and always on budget (no surprise extras). The systems have proven to be very robust and user friendly as well as expandable, which is exactly what we need now and in the future.

Residential Property Security

I would just like to congratulate you on the fantastic team you have at VIP Security. I know that I am a very small fish amongst the big projects that you normally handle, but I was made to feel just as important.

Thanks for everything, and I look forward to feeling safe and secure in the future.

Port Marlborough Marina

Security and Cameras

One of the things that have impressed us about VIP Security is their ability to future proof the Port's investment in security infrastructure. In most cases, old systems have been able to be upgraded and integrated into what now is a centrally monitored, remotely managed access control and surveillance system.

The latest centralised system has enabled us to dispense with costly third party night patrols and instigate remote surveillance monitoring with in-house security patrols.

I'd like to again thank the team at VIP Security, they are all excellent to deal with and keen to assist us in any manner.  I would certainly recommend VIP Security to any company requiring professional and effective security.

Christchurch Cathedral
125th Anniversary Building Restoration Project

The efforts of your team during this difficult project has been exceptional, and this effort made my task of trade coordination much easier than it could have been without your attention to the detail of the heritage protection plan.

A special thanks to Grant Marquet, he has been great to work with, and his dedication to the project in ensuring that cables and fittings were installed in a manner sympathetic to this heritage building has not gone unnoticed.

KPMG - Cramner Square

We initially installed the Siemens system when we moved to this building in early 2003, about the same time as your installation was being undertaken at the Art Gallery. I have been impressed with your service levels and the fact that the system was installed on time, within budget and according to specifications.  Given that our building was somewhat of a challenge because of the concrete construction and the fact that you were able to meet stringent requirements in relation to laying cable, I view this as a testament to your company's standards.

I would be pleased to recommend your company and systems to any potential customers, and would welcome them to view our installation for themselves (by appointment of course).

Emirates Contract

I would like to take the opportunity, on behalf of the Mainzeal Team, to thank your company and the personnel that were involved with the Emirates contract for the work carried out which helped us complete the contract on time and to a very high standard of finish.
The client is very happy and also passes on his appreciation for the work carried out to complete the contract on time through the Christmas period and commented on the quality of finishes achieved.
So once again thank you and please pass this thanks on to the team involved from your company.

Development of Radio Network House

Fast tracked fit outs like ours are not for the faint hearted due to the pressures to perform against punishing deadlines.

The outcome was everything promised, and more, on time and budget. Follow up service and support has been excellent, and has been customary with David over the many years I have used him.

Consequently I have no hesitations at all in recommending David's company VIP to anyone serious about security and great service.

Northlands Shopping Centre

On behalf of the site team and our management we would like to thank you for the special effort you and your staff made in assisting us to bring this project to completion by the due date.  While these projects are a team effort, we acknowledge the additional contribution you and your team made, especially during those periods of the project that came under increased pressure to meet staged completion dates.

It is with pleasure that I give this reference for David Proud and his company, VIP Security Limited.

Langwwod House - Security

I write to express my appreciation of your excellent service and quality workmanship you have given us at Langwood House. Previously our building's security system was maintained by Rhino Security and invariably we found that the system usually faulted after a Rhino service.

Since you took over maintaining our system you found a couple of previously unknown weaknesses in our security which you fixed and the system has not faulted once since you took it over.  We are delighted with your service and professional manner.
