Aprodex: Corporate Security and Defence - Marketing, Referral, Networking, Recruitment

Aprodex, (www.aprodex.com) and latterly the Asset Protection Network (APN), was set up to provide a route to market for niche SMEs operating in the global Corporate Security, Defence, and Operational Support sector, and also to provide a point of contact for Commerce and Industry, in order to facilitate the collaborations needed to identify and exploit new business opportunities and partnerships.

It was also our aim to provide a platform for buyers to distinguish between suppliers in an effort to source and engage with the most appropriate and competent providers for their needs, with limited effort and maximum transparency. Therefore:

As a Marketing Platform, we provide the ability for companies to profile themselves and be found in searches according to their specific services. We include a “pay per click” advertising function which provides a cost effective and measureable means of promoting your company and the niche services you offer, at a budget to suit you.

As a Referral Service we put clients who come to us directly in touch with those companies who can prove their “worth” by providing relevant and verifiable testimonials that demonstrate professional competence in the service they purport to offer. As such, we offer organisations an alternative to the “old boy network” approach into sourcing certain services. In addition, we provide referral to organisations (specifically the media) looking for speakers and expert opinion on diverse national and international security events.

As a Networking Resource we save companies money through negotiating discounts on tickets for industry events and conferences, and make you aware of such events and offers through regular email broadcasts. We also engage our network with email alert functions and a Bulletin Board detailing the requests received for support and collaboration from both within and outside of the Network.

As a Recruitment Service, our network is extensive, providing access to individuals with a diverse range of skills, expertise and experience, worldwide within our 10 core category services. We are able to offer recruitment services at considerably more competitive rates than “specialist recruitment agencies” whose staff, generally speaking, do not have the background and thus the intrinsic knowledge of the industry that we do.
