Concierge security services give you the best of both worlds. CSG’s concierge staff not only provide a respectful welcome, they also have the security skills necessary to safeguard your premises. 

From greeting visitors to managing access control, they are both ambassadors for your company and a subtle yet robust defence against crime.

Concierge security and receptionists

We provide both concierge security staff and front-of-house receptionists. They are available short-term, long-term or just occasionally. We’re happy to take your lead.

All personnel are professionally trained, immaculately presented individuals who carry out their duties with calm efficiency, even when faced with challenging situations.

There’s a wide range of skills at your disposal. Their roles can include:

  • Providing a courteous, warm welcome to staff and visitors
  • Handling phone calls and emails
  • Visitor logs, access control and key management
  • Monitoring CCTV and site security
  • Parcel and post management
  • Handling emergencies, alarm responses and evacuation procedures

Let us know which type of service you need and we’ll recommend options which fit the budget. Call us on 0844 561 0578 or send a message.

Concierge officers and receptionist staff. What’s the difference?

While the duties of concierge officers and receptionists often overlap, the two roles have different responsibilities.

CSG’s receptionists are administrative front-desk professionals. They integrate seamlessly into your organisation to provide communication and office support.

Our concierge staff are SIA-licensed. They take on a broader front-of-house role which combines customer service, facilities support and security. For example, they can:

  • Screen and log visitors, issue temporary passes and check IDs to prevent unauthorised entry
  • Give directions, answer questions and provide general assistance
  • Issue and log keys and access fobs
  • Handle deliveries
  • Coordinate maintenance requests
  • Monitor CCTV and alarm systems, and rapidly respond to suspicious activity
  • Patrol the site to deter trespassers
  • Act as the first responder to emergencies

To ensure a good fit, we always match the individual to the organisation. Give us a call on 0844 561 0578 to talk through what you need, or send us a message.

FAQs

You may have some questions about hiring concierge and reception staff. We’ve answered some of the most common questions here, although please feel free to call us on 0844 561 0578.

Are your concierge officers licensed?

Yes. All officers hold a Security Industry Authority (SIA) license. They also receive ongoing CPD-accredited training specific to their roles.

As well as being SIA-trained, all officers are vetted in accordance with BS7858 standards. They’ll always carry out their duties with diligence and respect for your staff, assets and property.

Are your receptionists licensed?

We can offer both licensed and unlicensed receptionists. If you need them to carry out any type of security duty, we will provide you with an SIA-licensed receptionist who is fully trained and qualified to do so.

Which types of businesses can you provide staff for?

Our concierge and reception staff can be for virtually any type of business. Offices, residential developments, business parks, healthcare establishments, leisure facilities and more.

To check if your organisation can be covered, call the CSG team on 0844 561 0578.

Is it OK for staff to wear our company’s uniform?

Yes. That’s fine with us.

Does the service have to be full time?

Not at all. It’s a flexible service. While we can provide full-time staff if you need them. Alternatively, they can be hired for a single event, for covering holidays or periods of absence, occasionally as and when, or for particular days of the week. It’s entirely up to you.

Will your staff liaise with the emergency services if required?

If the situation requires a blue light response, yes they will. What’s more, because the callout has come from an accredited security company, the emergency response can be faster. They know it’s a genuine emergency, not a false alarm.
