Report
We have been using Danhouse Security for approximately 4 years now. I am extremely happy with the service they provide, nothing is never too much trouble for the management team or their officers. They provide an excellent out of hours FOH Service for the building. Their officers are always very smart and highly professional when carrying out their duties in this Prestigious and iconic building in the City of London. Definitely one of the ambassadors within the Security industry. Highly recommended!

Report
Danhouse provide security, maintenance and cleaning services to the shopping centre based in the centre of Hounslow. Their management of the contract is excellent, the way that they treat the staff who work at the centre is great, we have amazing staff retention, they offer value for money and are very reactive to any changes to the contract we need. We have a great relationship with Danhouse Head office staff at all levels and they provide immediate support when required. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Report
Unprofessional company very shocking, went for interview was asked to train at a site I was to start working, my first day, was not looked in the eye once by supervisor who was supposed to train me and was put in a chair for hours with no training, was asked nothing, had to ask everything, treated like I was uninvited, when shown patrol was shown, all the short cuts, when put at a reception was told to go on internet while the guy supposed to be training me, played pool on the PC next to me, I was very keen to learn as it is a new site.
So got call into office and was told I wasnt willing to learn and seemed like I didn't want to be their, its the biggest insult I ever had, especially when it was the most shocking training I have ever seen in 9yrs in security industry and had to take it apon myself to read the assignment instructions, and had to promt the superviser, that maybe I should go on patrol with the officer to learn the site. Otherwise I would of spent the 9hrs sitting in chair
