Best Alarm Company in Mississippi Celebrates 30th Anniversary

Flowood, United States – April 14, 2017 /PressCable/

Pennington & Trim Alarm Services, Inc. is celebrating their 30th Anniversary, which commemorates thirty phenomenal years in business. This is a huge milestone for the Flowood, MS-based alarm company, which installs and services burglar/fire alarm systems, security cameras and access control systems for businesses and homeowners.

Pennington & Trim Alarm Services got its start in 1987 when Ed Trim, President & CEO formed a partnership with Norman Pennington. Ed Trim’s motivation was birthed from a desire to start his own business and reap the benefits of the long hours and technical knowledge he acquired as a security system technician.

One of the earliest challenges Pennington & Trim Alarm Services faced was acquiring customers since demand for security systems was nominal, especially among homeowners. In fact, considerable time was spent explaining the benefits of investing in an alarm system considering crime rates in the Jackson Metro area were much lower than they are today.

While every business faces challenges, some, like Pennington & Trim are privileged enough to enjoy real successes, wins and victories. One such victory came after the company developed a partnership with a local home builder to install alarm systems in houses under construction. This drastically reduced time spent on sales and ensured steady work. The success of that relationship led to more builders seeking partnerships with the company to incorporate alarm systems in their houses.

Ed Trim says, “One of the high points of Pennington & Trim’s history was the hiring of the first full-time employee which allowed me to do sales and respond to services calls while installation work continued. This accomplishment not only allowed us to duplicate our efforts but expanded my outlook from pursuing enough work for my personal survival to having sufficient work to support the financial needs of others.”

Mr. Trim was also quoted when discussing the reason for success. “We’re delighted to be celebrating our Thirty Year Anniversary. I believe the secret to getting this far in business today can be attributed to our mission of making money to spread the gospel as we protect life and property with teamwork and a spirit of excellence”. With 15,000 customers and growing, the Christian company’s outstanding customer service is evident.

Pennington & Trim Alarm Services differ themselves from competitors by selling the equipment upfront with no contracts. Ed Trim says, “the larger companies charge the customer many times over the cost of the equipment through their long-term contracts. On the other hand, a Pennington & Trim customer pays for the equipment and installation but has no other costs besides the low monthly monitoring which can be canceled at any time”. This method of purchase has proven very popular among the company’s many business and residential customers.

As one of the largest privately owned alarm companies in Mississippi, Pennington & Trim Alarm Services currently consists of 22 employees and is constantly increasing staff to keep up with the demand for their services. One of their core objectives is to continue to grow slowly while maintaining an old-fashioned spirit of excellence.

Pennington & Trim Alarm Services would like to thank friends, customers and all its partners for their well-wishes on this happy occasion.
