<description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode, we held a very interesting discussion with Mr. Dean John (Operations Manager at Smart Workforce) about what ACS is, how to get your company accredited, and lastly what benefits it has for security companies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SIA &lt;strong&gt;Approved Contractor Scheme&lt;/strong&gt; (ACS) is an internationally-recognized quality assurance scheme to maintain quality standards in UK’s private security industry. It ensures that the ACS accredited security agencies meet independently assessed quality standards and deliver value to all stakeholders.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some of the benefits to becoming an SIA Approved Contractor include:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· &amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Authority&lt;/strong&gt; to use ACS Accreditation Mark&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· &amp;nbsp;Inclusion in the &lt;strong&gt;register&lt;/strong&gt; of SIA Approved Contractors&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· &amp;nbsp;Access to future tender &lt;strong&gt;opportunities&lt;/strong&gt; linked to ACS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· &lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Competitive edge&lt;/strong&gt; over rivals&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· &amp;nbsp;Customers’ &lt;strong&gt;trust&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;loyalty&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and many more discussed in our podcast!&lt;/p&gt;
