The Advantages of Utilising a Local Company
Advance Security is a local company. All of our employees and directors live in the Yarra Ranges, Maroondah and Wonga Park areas, and we support the local community. We endeavour to make all our business purchases and transactions through other local businesses.
We are a reputable company that ensures that our guards and patrolmen are not overworked on their shifts, and that they do have sufficient time to complete all their calls.
Because we operate our patrols only in the Yarra Ranges, Maroondah, Whitehorse, Knox and Wonga Park areas, our response times to alarms are excellent, on average around 10 minutes.
Because we are a small to medium sized business, every client is important to us, and our directors are always available to you.
