h901 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 hi only just signed up to the forum, found it while searching online. i've recently set up my own company specialising in cctv (mainly ip systems), been in the industry for 3 years. most of my work so far has come through word of mouth. i was hoping others could provide some pointers on how i can find more work. thanks Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40712-finding-work/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJames Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hi and welcome Accreditation is probably the best way to get work IMO. 1 Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40712-finding-work/#findComment-454852 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJames Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 My company was formed in 1988 so its been a while, I am NSI Gold so would have a biased opinion, but there is not supposed to be any difference between Silver and Ssiab, Silver was invented because Gold was so much harder to get than Ssiab. That said if your Silver you can go for gold at a later date, not sure if you can go anywhere from Ssiab Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40712-finding-work/#findComment-454864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
h901 Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 oh ok. good point about the silver being a stepping stone to gold. i think i'll contact nsi for more information, Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40712-finding-work/#findComment-454866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 SSAIB with ISO9001 would be the next step I assume? But you don't get a shiny for it? 1 Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40712-finding-work/#findComment-454908 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems a bit daft you would think that they would give it some sort of premium name otherwise where is the motivation for doing it.

What is the best route for this? How long should it take from start to finish? Also how much can I expect it to cost too?

Being better at what you do, shouldn't need a badge... Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
