Lanyard Lady
Our first article in the "Women on the Web" series
highlights the career of Joanne Willoughby, Sales Director of Internet-based
Security Solutions
UK Ltd - a small hi-tech company with a big reputation and
big client base, Joanne is known to some of her clients as Lanyard
Lady. But it is not just lanyards
that Security Solutions UK Ltd specialise in. They are the customers
first choice for all types of wristbands,
in particular security wristbands, fabric festival style wristbands
and silicone wristbands. On top of that Security Solutions extensive
range of security passes, ID accessories and its bespoke itinerary
service truly make it the only "One Stop Shop" in the
world of identification.
With over 20 years experience in the identification industry Security
Solutions UK Ltd continue to be the leading European supplier of
identification products. Nominated for Nat West start-up business
of the year 2006, Security Solutions UK Ltd continue to be at the
cutting edge of their industry exceeding customer expectations every
day.
When asked about the Company's growing success story Joanne Willoughby
Sales Director put it down to a number of factors -
"When we first got together and looked at the business potential
it seemed inconceivable to believe we could meet the ever changing
needs of the Identification Market, 9/11 was about to happen and
the World as a whole was moving towards more of a 1984 George
Orwell big brother control society, whether it was politically
correct or not. We as a company decided that identification, although
of paramount importance more now than ever, did not just need
to be control, but could also be fun and friendly as well, hence
the product range we sell. I always have believed that along with
the best customer service possible in our sector along with our
diverse range of identification products we are best placed to
meet any customers need whether it be a high profile client/event
such as Kylie Minogue's world tour or a Cub Scout/School trip.
This is one of our unique selling points, no project or job is
too big or too small. Our Sales Team prides itself on their ability
to deliver consistantly whoever the customer"
Although timing is always a crucial element in the Business Community
Jo continued to stress the importance of range and value-
"At the outset it was always apparent that quality, choice
and value were key to our customers and were also values that
we had to connect with time and again. Since that time we have
always listened to our customers needs as well as being seen as
leaders in the innovation in the worlds of wristbands, badge
holders and lanyards recognising the need to be true to
our range as well as customer demand. That is why our service
and ranges of lanyards, wristbands and security wristbands, silicone
wristbands, badge holders, passes, itineraries and id accessories
is and will continue to be second to none"
Jo carries on to explain her view of value
"Value to me is not only about cost but also time. Time
can be the key driver more than cost. By this I mean if we are
able to work with a customer and not only fulfil their need but
exceed their expectation and assist on other product solutions
that is true value to them. How many times have you walked into
a shop and not realised that they could service all your needs.
We try to embody the fact we are the one stop shop for all your
identification requirements. Whether it is wristbands for a 21st
birthday party or the BAFTA's our customers receive the same VIP
service. The same applies to our range of lanyards and badge holders
as well as itineraries and id accessories. As I said before no
one job is too big or too small to receive the Security Solutions
UK Ltd TLC and customer service second to none"
With a range of products, lanyards, wristbands, security wristbands,
badge holders, passes, itineraries and id accessories who knows
where the future will take Security Solutions UK Ltd or where Security
Solutions will take you. Whatever your identification need Security
Solutions UK Ltd is the best placed retailer to meet your needs.
