Interview with a Vampire (oknonotreallyavampiresuemealready)

Headed over to the HQ of Event Security Specialists Pte Ltd. I was somewhat apprehensive about the quality of the information that we would get this time around, considering the fact that my previous interview(during my previous FYP) with one of their staff was less than satisfactory...

But it seemed to have turned out better this time. We got a lot more useful information, part of the reason i believe is that this time round we had a clearer idea of what we wanted to do and what we required from them as well as what would go into the catalog.

We managed to get a better understanding of the services provided and more detailed information. Such as how they provided security for regional events. Their strengths and expertise in the various areas of event security.

I think one of the more useful insights that we gain was to do with the costing of security. The cost per man-hour is just one part of the entire equation. Some security companies may actually have a number of hidden costs that are only made known after the event. Some companies may charge for things like a customized SOP for each event and apparently those things can cost $50k?
Which means... If we were to follow our original plan of including the pricing of the various agencies, we end up not only being ethically questionable but also potentially way off the mark? Way to go... glad we had this little meeting... thanks ESS...

Phoo!(ph=f, so its supposed to sound more like foooo! for fooo! thats a lot of money!)
