    We listen to our clients

    • We have been working with IKON since 2018 and have never had any issues or complaints. The team always speaks highly of the training managers. The training received helps the team deliver on some difficult, challenging situations. One of the team's main roles is to keep people safe, whether nurses, patients, or visitors. The training provided helps the security team achieve that.

    • Just wanted to ping over some validation following the recent de-escalation training held in London, we had a couple of unpleasant incidents take place in Oxford Street over the weekend and the way the team dealt with it at the moment was honestly faultless!

      There was no confusion or lack of confidence, a Supervisor approached the challenging individuals and calmly asked them to leave the store, afterwards the whole team checked in with each other and it didn't impact the day whatsoever.
