"I am writing just to express my gratitude to the one Maidstone team as since I have had the security radio installed into my store myself and my team feel so much safer during our opening times and they have responded to my calls of need and supported us dealing with challenging situations and retrieving stolen stock."

Shop Manager, Greggs

"We are very thankful for the support we received from the Ambassador Tema from shoplifting to ASB issues, they are always a stones throw away and will always deal with the situation in hand with so much professionalism. It’s clear to see how dedicated and passionate they are about there job roles within One Maidstone. The town would not be the same without them."
