Testimonial
A word from our Managing Director, Rosie:
“Enhancing the security and fire safety of one of the region’s most crucial educational establishments was an honour. The CDS team took each challenge in their stride and worked hard to complete this project in a timely manner without compromising on quality. I’m proud of every team member involved!”
“More expensive but a much more thorough job. Can’t fault the service and professionalism from any point of contact. Obviously a positive business culture and a well recruited and trained team” – Matthew Eliot – John Eliot (Footwear) Ltd
John Eliot (Footwear) Ltd
“We’re really pleased with the service we received from CDS Security & Fire. The shop means so much to all of us, and we were always worrying about what might happen when we weren’t there. Now, we don’t have to worry. We’ll be alerted whenever necessary and can act as appropriate as and when. Thank you!”
Gill Mason, Proprietor
“We’re so grateful for the help of CDS Security & Fire. The engineers are consistently on hand to help us with our Intruder Alarm Systems, Fire Alarm Systems and Emergency Lighting maintenances and upgrades to over 100+ schools and community centres in the South Tyneside district. Despite the monumental task they have in keeping our community safe, they are always willing to go the extra mile – no matter the day or time. Couldn’t think of a better company to rely on for our weekly fire alarm testing and Security, Fire and Emergency Lighting Maintenance!”
John Nicholson, South Tyneside Council
“We’ve been a long-standing customer of CDS Security & Fire since 2013 – and for good reason. The entire team, from the engineers to the customer service, are extremely knowledgeable and always put us first, as their customer. Thank you, CDS.”
Derek Barsby, Facilities Manager
“From start to finish, the CDS team were an absolute pleasure to work with. There was a lot of pressure on making this project a success, including on the part that CDS Security & Fire played, but they handled it with true professionalism and ease. I have no hesitation recommending CDS Security & Fire.” – Gary Nolan, Norstead Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Ltd
“CDS Security & Fire were outstanding in equipping our establishment with such an incredible piece of tech designed to keep our staff and visitors safe. It’s great that such a beautiful piece of our region’s history has now properly met the 21st century. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other businesses and organisations across the North East.”
Andrew Stephenson, T Clarke
“We employed CDS to carry out the supply, install and commission of the complete Fire Alarm, Accessible WC Alarms and Induction loop Systems, from the minute the order was placed to theissue of the completion certificates CDS were a pleasure to work with, nothing was ever an issue and highly professional. Looking forward to working with them again” – Alan, McVickers Contract Manager
Teesside University
“Keeping our students safe is a huge priority here at Newcastle University, and something we pride ourselves on. We know that it’s taken care of with the Salto access system across our student villages, which was supplied and is maintained by CDS Security & Fire. We have worked with CDS for a number of years and would not hesitate to recommend them to another university, organisation or business.” – Christine Catterson
Newcastle University
“If you want to feel genuinely safe and secure, we couldn’t recommend CDS Security & Fire enough. They’re responsible for installing and maintaining the Security and Fire Systems across 30 police stations in the North East, a huge responsibility that we believe only a company with their skill and determination can handle. “ Tony Connor
