CBS began from very humble beginnings. Our story began ten years ago when our director and founder, Rachel Bedgood, set about creating a business to provide pre-employment background screening services to the UK.
With limited business or industry knowledge, Rachel set out to become an expert within her field through sheer drive and determination to create something exceptional.
In the early days, the business started trading from a converted shop in a small village in the heart of the South Wales valleys. Unemployment was at an all-time high and her ex-mining community was desperate for regeneration.
The first few years were difficult, but we managed to bring on new customers through our exceptional customer service and innovative system designs. As our client base increased, so did our staff.
It was vitally important to our founder that the area that had initially supported her business should reap the rewards. With this in mind, all staff within CBS were handpicked from our local community and all services and supplies sourced locally wherever possible.
Trading with a social conscience was, and still is, a vital requirement for our business and we continue to reap the rewards from our hard-working, dedicated staff who work closely with all of our clients to ensure we provide an unbeatable service.
CBS are now a multi-award winning company and one of the largest pre-employment screening and disclosure and barring service (DBS) providers in the UK. We strive to keep overheads low and services outstanding.
