“Use G4S for cash-in-transit at our retail outlets and the reliability has been consistent for years. Their smart safe solution has also cut down significantly on the manual cash handling we used to deal with.”

“Alarm response has generally been prompt whenever triggered, giving genuine peace of mind at our home. Would appreciate a bit more consistency in communication after an incident, but the core security service itself has been reliable.”

“Manage security contracts for our regional office and G4S officers are consistently well-trained and professional in their conduct. Having a local Kisumu branch to coordinate with directly makes issue resolution much faster than dealing solely with head office.”

“Used the courier service to send documents cross-country and it arrived on time with good tracking updates along the way. Pricing is on the higher side compared to some local couriers, but the reliability justifies it for anything time-sensitive.”
