Christmas Cheer

NPB Security donated a boot full of turkey, ham and bacon to ensure those in tough circumstances can celebrate Christmas with a decent meal.

Our client provides support for the homeless people as well as those at risk of becoming homeless and struggling families. They provide a safe environment in which support, advocacy and referral can be provided.

Meals are provided free of charge with light refreshments. People do not require a referral to access the service and can also see the community centre link team, mobile GP, street lawyer and individual disability advocate service – All free of charge.

It’s an amazing initiative to help those in need.

Merry Christmas!

Indigenous Business Partnership

NPB Security were proud to work at Optus Stadium over weekend when Perth hosted the AFL’s highly anticipated Dreamtime match in the Sir Doug Nicholls round.

The annual match recognises and celebrates First Nations players and culture and falls in National Reconciliation week. It marks a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how we can contribute to achieving reconciliation in our country.

To mark the occasion NPB engaged Australia’s largest Indigenous-owned workplace supplier, Kulbardi, to design and create a lanyard for their guards, featuring an indigenous design.

Kulbardi have supplied our uniforms for several years, so it was a great opportunity to recognise our long-term partnership and a chance for NPB to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land

The image on the lanyard features black and white elements coming together on the Earth.

It’s a small gesture, but one which encourages our staff to have positive conversations about reconciliation.

We are proud to work with Australian company Kulbardi, who reinvest part of their proceeds to their community investment fund. The Bibbulmun Fund invests in community projects and initiatives designed to support, encourage and inspire Indigenous communities across Australia.

Our staff really enjoyed working at the sold-out event, which has only left its Melbourne home once before.

It was fantastic to see our guards wearing the lanyards at Saturday’s game, and we expect to see a lot of them continuing to wear them after the weekend.

Perth Heat

NPB Security is delighted to partner with Perth Heat for the 2021/2022 Summer of Baseball.

Perth Heat was founded in 1989 as one of the Australian Baseball League’s foundation teams and have gone on to become one of the country’s most successful sporting clubs.

Providing security guards for games and events held at Empire Ballpark, Perth Heat CEO Steven Nelkovski said it is great to have NPB Security onboard.

“It’s a partnership that we’ve had for 10 years, and one we are extremely proud of,” Steven said.

Attending a Perth Heat game is a fantastic experience, with the perfect environment for the whole family.

“A day at the ballpark is unique, we have a nice American theme that runs through our game day experience,” said Steven.

“It’s different to other sporting events, for example if the ball goes over the fence and you catch it, you get to keep it.

“It is a wonderful family friendly environment and the menu is a little bit different too. We like to bring through an American style of flavour to replicate what you get at Minor League ballparks in America.”

It is shaping up to be a massive summer for the Heat on and off the pitch, as they look to go one step further after finishing runners up in 2020/21, as well as celebrating the successful history of the club.

“The Perth Heat will celebrate 70 years since our first Claxton Shield Championship win in 1952. We will have a lot of promotion around the success we’ve had as an organisation and celebrate all of the great champions of the club and the state,” Steven said.

NPB Security Director, David Barrett said he was proud to continue the long running partnership.

“This was one of our first sporting partnerships when we established NPB in 2010, so we are very pleased to continue the tradition this year. It is also fantastic to see what the club are doing in the sustainability space and we’re looking forward to seeing these initiatives in action.

Perth Heat has some ambitious goals with a desire to be Australia’s most sustainable baseball team. Their objectives include a 50% reduction in plastic by 2025; moving towards a 100% digital ticketing system and playing their games in Australia’s first renewable energy powered ballpark.

David said his company recognises the important role sport has in improving the health and wellbeing of all who participate regardless of age, ability, background or gender.

“NPB Security is a huge advocate for sport, understanding the significant and positive impact it has on the community. Communities are strengthened when we come together to play sport and build a sense of belonging.”

For those interested in attending a match in the 2021/22 season, Steven provided this famous quote:
