First City Care was established in 1986 by our Chairman Grahame Harding, primarily in response to an increasing requirement to provide the capability to install a variety of security and safety equipment covering electronic, technical and physical installations in both modern and historic office buildings in the City of London. The installations, because of the intrinsic value of the buildings involved, had to be of the very highest technical standard and equally importantly had to be completed in a way that left the décor of the buildings undisturbed. We quickly established a reputation for excellent workmanship that is borne out by the number of blue chip clients who have sought our services. Despite numerous requests we have deliberately focused our attention on working with corporations in financial, legal and other professional services and related sectors.We are one of the last great independent businesses operating in this industry and although relatively small we compete on equal terms with companies much larger than ourselves.
