🏆 A fantastic achievement for our team working alongside NHS Security at Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust!

The Security and Enhanced Care Team has won the “We Are Safe and Healthy” category at the Trust’s Our People Awards.

The award recognises the team’s work to deliver a proactive, patient-centred approach to healthcare security. Their collaboration helps prevent situations from escalating, reduces violence and aggression, supports vulnerable patients with complex needs and creates a safer environment for patients and staff.

A brilliant example of partnership working at its best.

Huge congratulations to everyone involved. A thoroughly deserved award! 👏🎉

After 7 years of proudly providing security for the Torquay seafront observation wheel, we’re sad to hear the news that it will not be returning for the 2026 season.

It has been a pleasure to support such an iconic attraction on Torbay’s seafront and to play our part in helping visitors enjoy it safely over the years.

Like many, we know this will be disappointing news for residents, visitors and local businesses. The reality is that running attractions of this scale comes with ever-growing pressures, including rent and the wider costs involved in keeping them viable. Those factors have clearly played a big part in the decision, and it highlights how important continued support for local attractions and events is for Torbay.

A big thank you to our teams who have worked on the wheel throughout that time, often in all weathers, always representing us professionally.

While it will be missed, we’re proud to have been part of its story. 🎡💚

🏥💙 Over the weekend, Platinum Security was proud to provide security support at Torbay Hospital while essential improvement works were carried out.

A major crane lift was another important step forward in the refurbishment and expansion of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) theatres, as part of wider improvements to facilities for both patients and staff. 🚧🏗️

Our team was on site to help ensure the safety and security of staff, visitors, and members of the public throughout the operation. 👮‍♂️👮‍♀️

We also provided patient transport whilst the main car park was temporarily relocated, helping to keep things running smoothly for patients and visitors throughout the works. 🚗💙

A big thank you to everyone who visited or worked at Torbay Hospital over the past few days. We truly appreciated your patience and understanding while the lift operation was carried out. 🙏👏
