A mission with heart, head and responsibility
Sometimes security is more than a function. Sometimes it is humanity in uniform.
We are proud to announce that BAEK Beveiliging has won the tender for the security of the Ukrainian reception centres in the municipality of Midden-Groningen.
This assignment is not just a new job. It is a social mission in which hospitality, safety and humanity come together.
Safety for those who had to leave their home and hearth
Temporary accommodation has been set up at four locations in Midden-Groningen for a total of around 365 displaced persons from Ukraine.
People who had to leave their home, but are trying to land here again — in peace, with dignity and safety.
Our role? Ensuring those places truly feel like safe havens. Not by creating distance, but precisely by being close.
Our security guards are the first point of contact upon arrival, the calm presence in the background, and the professionals who take action when necessary.
What “hospitality security” means at BAEK
The municipality of Midden-Groningen explicitly asked for a welcoming form of security.
That means: not just protecting, but also taking the burden off their shoulders. Not just supervising, but showing empathy.
At BAEK, we bring this to life through three core pillars:
- People-centred working
Our security guards are trained in hospitality, conflict prevention and cultural sensitivity. They understand the balance between firmness and empathy. - Professional conduct
Behind every friendly face lies solid expertise: company emergency response, emergency procedures and sharp observation skills. - Collaboration with care and the municipality
We work intensively with location managers, volunteers and welfare organisations. Because true safety can only be achieved together.
A social mission that resonates
The war in Ukraine continues to affect thousands of lives. Municipalities in the Netherlands have the responsibility to provide safe accommodation — and we feel honored to contribute to that.
For our security guards, this work means more than a rota or a post. It means being present at crucial moments in the lives of others.
Offering a listening ear, preventing escalations, and bringing calm where tension might arise.
As one of our team leaders says:
“Every smile we get back is a silent confirmation: this is why we do this work.”
Why BAEK was awarded this contract
Our approach aligns with what local authorities need today: a reliable partner that masters both the operational side of security and understands the human element.
The choice for BAEK stemmed from our experience in social projects, our 24/7 readiness and our proven track record in the Northern Netherlands.
But above all from our vision: safety is not a wall, it is a feeling.
