History

Create Security was founded in 2007 by Lindsay Wood, who serves as the company's managing director. Wood had worked in the security industry for approximately 15 years before launching the business, during which he built a reputation for quality and reliability alongside a stated passion for innovation and personalised service. His vision was to bring his own brand to market and offer the industry a distinctive alternative to existing competitors. Starting from what the company describes as humble beginnings, Create Security grew quickly on the back of a loyal and valued client base. Over time it expanded its product and service range to cover the full spectrum of physical automated security: security and vehicle access gates (cantilever, swing and slide gates), boom gates (automatic and portable), hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) products such as crash-rated, automatic and static bollards and HVM street furniture, pedestals and posts, and pedestrian gates, turnstiles and control barriers. Alongside products, the company built out design, manufacturing and installation capabilities, and added maintenance and preventative services. The company reports that it has accumulated more than 25 years of industry experience and has become a trusted national leader in the physical automated security industry. It has delivered security solutions for prominent public spaces, major transport and logistics hubs, leading manufacturing plants, Federal, State and Local government facilities, schools and mine sites, each with their own protective security requirements. Create Security describes itself as a Queensland-owned industry leader and as Queensland's HVM expert. To support its operations, Create Security has put in place certified management systems. Its quality and safety management systems are certified to the international ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 standards, giving clients independently assessed assurance that processes and organisational output are monitored, measured and kept up to date with legal and industry requirements. The company holds all mandatory statutory licences for the supply of security services, including a QBCC licence, a Security Providers Licence (Advisor and Installer) and an Electrical Contractor's Licence. It is an active member of industry bodies within the security industry, including Master Builders, the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association, ASIAL and ASIS, and each of its on-site personnel holds the relevant individual Security Providers Licence. The company remains privately held and Queensland-owned, with its head office in Brisbane and a contact number of +61 7 3390 5050. Its brand promise is summarised in the tagline "DESIGN | PROTECT | CONTROL | SECURE", reflecting an end-to-end approach from design through protection and control to securing sites.
