What our clients say

We take pride in the personal service we provide, and our clients notice.

I have had nothing but positives from the team on how good the training was and that it was made fun and not boring. The only thing I object to is my daughter trying the moves on me!”

Manchester City

We recognised that our security staff had a need to improve their conflict management skills and approached Capricorn to assist us. The Training section of Capricorn Security have been able to provide us with a structured 2-day training program which is correctly pitched for our staff's needs. To date, they have delivered training to almost 20 members of the team and we hope to achieve a status soon whereby all our security team have been trained. Each trainee receives a certificate upon successful completion of the course and it is something that we hope to build on in the future. We are grateful for the support of Capricorn in achieving this as it will ultimately prove to upskill our staff plus improve the service we provide. ”
