Case Study

Classic Services Group[cite: 2]

Industry: Security Services[cite: 2]
Focus: B Corp[cite: 2]

“Knowledgeable, adaptable, and do exactly what you promise. The whole team were professional and approachable, and what usually takes many businesses around 18 months, we achieved in 3.5 months.”[cite: 2]

— Adam Chamberlain, Classic Services Group, Managing Director[cite: 2]

The Client[cite: 2]

Classic Services Group is a UK-based, family-run security company with a history dating back to 1947.[cite: 2] Now in its third generation, the business delivers a wide range of services including manned guarding, CCTV monitoring, alarm response, and mobile security operations.[cite: 2] With a workforce of around 165 employees, the company operates primarily across London and the wider South of England, supporting both public and private sector clients.[cite: 2]

The Challenge[cite: 2]

As the business continued to grow, Classic Services Group recognised the need to formalise its approach to sustainability and governance.[cite: 2] Increasing client expectations, particularly within tenders, meant the company needed a recognised framework to demonstrate its commitment to responsible business practices.[cite: 2] At the same time, evolving B Corp standards and tight timelines created pressure to act quickly, requiring a structured and efficient approach to certification.[cite: 2]

The Solution[cite: 2]

ESG Pro guided Classic Services Group through the B Corp certification process, providing clear direction, practical support, and tailored documentation throughout.[cite: 2] The team worked closely with internal stakeholders to organise data, strengthen policies, and align existing practices with B Corp requirements.[cite: 2] With a focused and collaborative approach, the process was streamlined to meet a significantly accelerated timeline without compromising quality or compliance.[cite: 2]

The Result[cite: 2]

Classic Services Group successfully achieved B Corp certification in just 3.5 months.[cite: 2] The certification strengthens the company’s position in competitive tenders and reinforces its commitment to responsible business practices.[cite: 2] More importantly, it provides a structured foundation for ongoing improvement, supporting long-term growth while maintaining the company’s people-focused culture and high service standards.[cite: 2]
