VPS Group
Security Equipment
The VPS Group has 5 business divisions offering a range of security, management and maintenance services for vacant property, remote sites, construction and infrastructure projects, highways and selectively for occupied properties.
As the UK and European market leaders in specialist property and site management, we look after approximately 50,000 units at any one time, with a value of over £5 billion, covering both commercial and residential sectors. The top FTSE insurance, security and property companies select VPS to take care of their vacant property requirements, and we also partner 850 social housing providers, helping to turn 20,000 vacant properties into homes for new tenants every year.
With a network of over 40 Service Centres throughout the UK and Ireland our speed of response and expertise in security means that from the minute a property becomes vacant, we are available to clear it, protect it, monitor it and prepare it for reoccupancy.
Starting with an initial risk assessment devised in conjunction with the key insurers VPS offer a range of security solutions including guarding, inspections, remotely monitored alarms, CCTV towers, protection by occupation through VPS guardians, and property preparation services from clearing and cleaning to ongoing maintenance such as pest control, lock changes and glazing services. This combined expertise helps protect against unauthorised access and a variety of threats such as arson, theft and squatting, whilst helping to ensure the property complies with insurance requirements.
Our ongoing commitment to providing state of the art products developed by our in-house Innovation Centre, and our emphasis on outstanding customer service provides our customers with peace of mind that their property or site is safe and secure - helping to retain its value for as long as it is entrusted in our hands.

Luca Arnaud
LAA
Architecture design
My approach to design has been shaped by three decades of diverse experiences. Working in different countries and dealing with various cultures has broadened my professional and personal horizons. It has helped me understand how every human being is extraordinary in the unique ways in which it acts, lives, uses and enjoys spaces. This is why I develop my projects by working closely with the client to achieve their best results. It takes two to create a good design. The architect and the client must build an appropriate relationship, whereby the first understands the needs and shapes the latter's dreams. I manage the design process from conception to completion: from the initial concept to the detailed final design, protecting the original idea through the planning process, and boosting creativity through constraints. My long experience in healthcare design educated my sensitivity as an architect toward disability and built environment, making the accessible design approach one of my main priorities. I firmly believe that space, light, colours and materials can affect an individual’s mood and way of living. I strive to make the design elegant, playful, inspirational and comfortable. I'm focused on conceiving architecture that aims to be timeless by challenging the ordinary, to create homes rather than houses.
