Booked Baaj for overnight hotel security near Heathrow. Their officer was a calm, reliable presence through the night — supported the reception team, ran patrols, watched the guest areas, and dealt with concerns as they came up. Felt safer for guests and staff alike. Will be booking them again for any hotel night cover.
Had valuable tools and event equipment left on a Bracknell site and needed overnight cover. Baaj's operative arrived on time, checked the access points, ran patrols through the night. Everything was where we left it in the morning. Simple test, and they passed.
