A SECURITY firm based in Bromsgrove has achieved a £1m turnover in its first year.
Power Security Personnel Ltd, in High Street, employs 90 people and boss Richard Williams desperately needs more workers to meet his clients' needs.
The company supplies security staff to all sectors of industry including:
* Pubs and clubs;
* Shops and shopping precincts;
* Special events such as concerts;
* Bodyguards for the rich and famous;
* Close protection for security vans.
Folk may expect such firms in the big cities but Richard said he prefers Bromsgrove.
"It's a great place to work, I have an excellent location and easy access to the motorway network," he said.
The 29-year-old has worked in the security industry for more than a decade and is a former professional kickboxer.
The Redditch resident has a number of high profile clients working in politics, pop music, the media and sport.
He claims the days of burly bouncers are over and all his employees must complete strict training before taking to the street.
The father-of-three said: "My staff are there to protect customers and premises.
"There's no need for violence. Physical force would have to be the last resort."
Richard said business is booming and if he had 200 staff he could find everyone work within a week.
