Leading by Example: A Gold Standard for Inclusion

At Veritech, we believe that creating a safer environment isn’t just about protecting buildings and assets – it’s about creating workplaces where everyone feels respected, valued and included.

We’re incredibly proud to share that our Managing Director, Paul Oldridge, has been awarded the Gold FIR Ambassador Mark of Pride.

The Gold Mark of Pride is awarded to individuals who actively champion fairness, inclusion and respect, helping to drive positive change across their organisation and the wider security industry. It recognises a genuine commitment to creating workplaces where people can thrive regardless of their background.

For us, this isn’t simply another badge or certificate.
It reflects the values we’ve worked hard to embed throughout Veritech.

Whether that’s investing in our people, supporting employee wellbeing, encouraging development, promoting equal opportunities or creating an environment where every member of the team feels they belong, inclusion has become part of our culture rather than a tick-box exercise.

Paul has always believed that the strongest businesses are built around people. The recognition is a testament to that philosophy and to the collective efforts of everyone across Veritech who lives these values every day.

Congratulations, Paul, on this well-deserved recognition, and thank you for continuing to lead by example.

Here’s to continuing to raise standards, not only in security, but in the way we support and value people.
