Services include: • Security and Concierge Duties: Maintain a safe and secure environment while delivering a professional, customer-focused approach to security for all partners within the Hinckley Hub. • Customer Care and Meet & Greet: Assist with welcoming and directing visitors, supporting varied visitor needs to ensure a positive experience for all partners and their customers. • Ad-hoc Cover: Provide additional security for evening meetings and events as required.
