In May's issue of “SSAIB Spotlight”, Professional Security Magazine features Clear Image Systems Limited, a Bradford-based security specialist with extensive experience in high-security environments across the UK. Led by Operations and H&S Manager Kevin Sanasy, the company highlights growing concerns within the security industry around unregulated firms, declining sector competency, and the increasing focus on cost over quality, which they believe creates long-term risks for customers.
Clear Image Systems distinguishes itself through its commitment to accreditation, compliance, and continual improvement. The company maintains certifications including SSAIB, BAFE, Constructionline Gold, and SafeContractor, while also progressing toward ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification. Alongside embracing new technology, the business invests heavily in employee development through manufacturer and specialist training programmes.
The company specialises in high-security projects, particularly within HM Prison establishments, where it has operated across more than 38 prisons over the last decade. Its work includes preventative maintenance and large-scale upgrades involving CCTV, networking infrastructure, perimeter detection systems, microwave systems, PTZ cameras, and command suite installations, with projects ranging from £250,000 to £1 million. Clear Image Systems also designs, installs, commissions, and maintains fire systems, while working alongside Tier 1 construction firms on major sites nationwide.
A key issue raised by the company is the need for mandatory licensing across the security sector. Clear Image Systems believes this would help eliminate malpractice, improve standards, and create fairer competition when tendering for projects. The business also stresses that many clients lack sufficient industry knowledge to properly assess security installations, reinforcing the need for minimum competency standards across installers.
The article also highlights the value of SSAIB certification, which the company says demonstrates professionalism, adherence to British standards, and ongoing investment in business improvement. Over the last year, Clear Image Systems has expanded its workforce, increased its fleet of engineer vehicles, and completed its first ISO 9001 and 14001 audit, reflecting continued growth and commitment to excellence within the fire and security industry.
