In our latest article, we shine a spotlight on Reed Security commercial security client - Rayner Agencies.





MEET RAYNER AGENCIES


For our latest client spotlight, Virgil Reed met with Sheldon Wasylenko, Co-Owner, GM of Rayner Agencies. (above)


Rayner Agencies Ltd. is a general insurance brokerage that has been owned and operated by the Wasylenko family since 1971. Originally established by Lorne and Ruth Rayner in 1948, the business was started in the Sutherland area of Saskatoon and has continued to serve clients throughout Saskatchewan since its opening. Rayner Agencies Ltd. is a full-service insurance brokerage representing a large number of insurance companies and offers a wide range of insurance policies for homes, automobiles, businesses, and agricultural risks.


WELCOME TO 810 CENTRAL

Rayner Agencies had outgrown their original 3400 Sq Ft location in Sutherland. The lack of space in that building meant there was no parking and they didn't have any meeting rooms. Over time this was limiting the companies ability to grow. The team at Rayner Agencies didn't want to leave Sutherland, as they value the community and location. That meant finding the perfect location ended up taking 10 years!



Their patience paid off and they moved into the iconic old Sutherland Hotel and Bar location on Central Avenue. The extensive renovations to the 7500 sq ft property resulted in a stylish location that seamlessly blends heritage and modern styles including their beautiful Atrium.

Now the Rayner Agencies 23 team members have plenty of space. In addition, they rent out the impressive boardroom to 3rd parties for meetings and events.


PROTECTING RAYNER AGENCIES


When it came to the commercial security needs, Reed supplied the alarm and access control systems and the client supplied their own cameras. 

The Reed Security team is proud to work with and provide support for wonderful local businesses like Rayner Agencies. Their focus to maintain the highest level of customer service, with honesty and integrity is very much aligned with Reed Security's value and mission.

"Rayner Agencies Ltd. chose Reed Security to design it’s building and door security system for our new building project at 810 Central Avenue. Right from the beginning, the sales and design team led by Geoff as well as the support team understood our needs very well and did an exceptional job deploying their solution and providing the support we needed along the way. Their technical knowledge and post-installation support was important to us. I would confidently recommend Reed Security for handling your commercial security needs."

Sheldon Wasylenko, Co-Owner, GM of Rayner Agencies



Thank you Sheldon and Rayner Agencies for trusting Reed Security to protect your People and Property!

USE THESE 5 FALL SECURITY TIPS TO KEEP YOUR HOME & FAMILY SAFE


As the days get darker earlier, we urge you to remember these simple security tips to keep your home and family safe.

1. Burglars gain access to unlocked doors and windows. Make sure all your doors and windows are locked - this includes car doors.

2. Burglars don't like to be seen.
Make sure your property is well lit. Motion lights detect movement and effectively light up an area when needed. 


3.
Arm your alarm system when you leave and use the STAY mode at night. The STAY mode arms the doors and windows and will trigger the siren when you are sleeping - and scare away burglars!


If you are thinking of installing a security system or upgrading we have a $0 SMART SECURITY SALE ON NOW!


4. Burglars don't like to be interrupted. Our 
Touchless Video Doorbell sends you instant alerts when People are detected at the front door. See, Hear and Speak to visitors - including unwanted visitors.

5. Burglars don't like to be recorded. Our 
ColorVu Cameras record HD video in color 24/7. Check on your property from Anywhere, Anytime.

If you are thinking of installing cameras we have a $0 COLORVU CAMERA SALE ON NOW!



Please let your friends, neighbors and co-workers know Reed Security is here to help! You can also refer your workplace. When your referral becomes a new Reed Security client - we give you $50.

Thank you for your business and referrals!
