A DROITWICH-based training company is celebrating what looks set to be its best year to date with a move to new premises.

Train 4 Security has taken up residence in Link House on the Nu-Way industrial estate.

The company, which was launched in November 1999, estimated it would have an annual turnover of £600,000 in 2005. It is now on schedule to hit £1.1m.

To celebrate their new premises and success the staff of eight held an all-day party yesterday, when Linda Sharpe, sectors skills competency manager of the Security Industry Association, cut the ribbon to open the new premises..

Phil Ruggiero, managing director, said: "It is a wonderful feeling to be able to move into new premises after all these years of running the business from home."

"My wife Esther and I were delighted to be able to celebrate our success with our customers, colleagues and friends. With an ever-increasing turnover and a list of high-profile clients, we are now in an excellent growth position.

"We look forward to welcoming our customers through the door and continuing in our drive to encourage a more professional and learned industry."

Train 4 Security has delivered nationwide and Eastern European courses and workshops tailored to raise the standards of corporate and individual performance with the private security industry.

Last year it trained 20,000 delegates on nearly 40 of these courses. Customers have included retailers such as Miju, and international security companies such as Group 4, Securitas, The Corps of Commissionaires, and Wilson James.

Education companies such as Trinity College Camarthen, City of Bristol College and national property advisers Phoenix Board have also benefited from Train 4 Security's expertise.
