About EIDOS
The adoption of digital management information technology by the guarding industry has been piecemeal resulting in a mass of paper based records, spreadsheets and stand alone web based apps.
This inefficient disjointed approach results in significant archive management and retrieval costs together with frustration caused by the delay in gaining access to information.
VeriFi EIDOS is the UK’s first fully integrated cloud based management information system and an important aid to achieving your paper free environmental policy.

Steve Larkins
Managing Director
With a background in security systems and IT Steve joined his father in 1998 to form Video Management Services to serve the compliance requirements of CCTV users following the introduction of the Data Protection Act 1998.
Steve’s flair for graphic design was of significant value to the business leading to the development of the market leading range of compliance documentation that became the de facto standard for CCTV data compliance management.
He has since gone on to lead the development of EIDOS the UK’s first fully integrated management information system for the Security and FM sector.
Steve has a passion for all things VW having owned an early Beetle through to three Karmann Ghia’s and a Camper Van culminating in the Porsche 356 replica he is now building.
Brian Larkins
Compliance Director
Brian has a wealth of experience in all aspects of the security industry, starting a systems company in the early days of CCTV which grew to incorporate a guarding division and one of the first monitoring stations in the country before the business was eventually sold in the mid nineties.
Following this he carried out a number of major projects for a global cash and carry operator in Poland and China. He has a reputation for innovation which lead to the establishment of Video Management Services in 1998 which has since developed into VeriFi FMS the specialist FM and Security Management support service provider that it is today.
Like Father like Son, Brian is an enthusiastic petrol head and owned a number of classic cars over the years. His most notable claim to fame was the 2007 Peking to Paris Endurance Rally when his 1934 Sunbeam came in last having spent a few hundred miles on the back of a truck through Siberia to Moscow.
Steven Forrester
Technical Director
Steve is an accomplished software developer and responsible for the development of our online VeriFi Audit platform and Management Information Apps.
He has recently transferred the VeriFi and EIDOS platforms to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud Computing Service which enables us to deliver significant security and operational efficiencies. He works alongside Purple Crane our software development partners an important element in our business continuity plan.
Steve has a young family which occupies much of his time, however, like the rest of the team has been tainted by the petrolhead bug and not long ago was seen heading for the Nürburgring for a track day, thankfully both he and the car returned in one piece.
Bernie de Larclause
Operations Director
Bernie has 27 years experience of delivering security solutions across the UK and Africa. These have ranged from Manned Guarding services for Blue Chip companies to Mobile CCTV for the Gold Mines of Africa.
Bernie’s extensive knowledge of Manned Guarding and current working practices give him an invaluable insight whilst delivering data compliance audits and providing EIDOS presentations to prospective clients.
As a former rugby player Bernie enjoys supporting Treorchy his local Rugby Team, he also shares Steve’s passion for VW Camper Vans.
Amos Nash
Key Account Manager
Amos has spent the past 20 years working within key account sales and business development. Whether it’s on a B2B or B2C basis, Amos is in his element pushing a company forward, increasing turnover as much as possible.
He joined VeriFi in 2020 to work with the rest of the team to move EIDOS to the next level of sales throughout the UK.
Whilst not in the EIDOS mindset, Amos is a devoted husband and father…….who loves and owns fast road machines including a Jaguar XF-S and and Aprilia RSV1000-R.
Sally Long
Finance Director
Sally joined the business at the outset in 1998 to provide back of house support, she still has a varied role, but as the business has grown she has become focussed on financial management and quality control.
Sally is an enthusiastic traveller, her most recent adventures being South Africa, Peru and a visit to Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya where she enjoyed her photographic hobby, returning with hundreds of wildlife photos including a close encounter with Silver Back gorillas. Like the rest of the team she has been touched by the classic car bug and has a 1958 MGA sports car and a 1929 Austin 7 Chummy.
Zak Larkins
Administration
You don’t have to have the surname Larkins to work for VeriFi, but it can help. Zak is the third generation in the business, at 18 he decided that further education was not for him and joined us in the summer of 2018 after a short lived career as a Barista.
His role within the business includes scheduling annual audits and assisting with CCTV redaction editing.
Like his father and grandfather Zak has managed to avoid participating in any type of sporting activity, preferring to direct his energies into his rock band and giving valuable support to the Weatherspoon’s pub chain at the weekend.
Gladys Pegram
Production
With a background collating in the print in the print industry Gladys is responsible for producing the VeriFi compliance manuals ensuring that all the right serially numbered pages go in the right order and in the right place.
When Gladys joined the local bowls club she initially had a fearsome reputation for bowling overarm, however she has now developed a more conventional style much to everyone’s relief.
Chris Bond
Director - Purple Crane
Chris has a BSc Hons in Computer Systems for Business and is a professional member of the BCS Chartered Institute of IT (MBCS). When he co-founded Purple Crane in 2007, he had more than a decade’s experience in developing software and managing technical teams in the USA and UK across the retail, logistics, telecoms and finance sectors.
Chris loves the combination of creative, analytical and technical skills that are needed to make technology add value to a business. Despite being a software architect and developer, he still speaks in plain English, and is noted for his ability to solve awkward problems in unexpected ways.
When not in the office, Chris is either spending time with his family, snowboarding down mountains, playing guitar or some combination thereof.
Andy Rix
Director - Purple Crane
Andy’s career in software development started when he volunteered to fix a bad user interface, even though he was employed as the technical writer. He proceeded to put his BSc Hons in Computer Science and MSc in Advanced Methods in Computer Science to work as a developer, and throughout his career has kept his focus on developing products that people find easy to use.
With 10 years’ experience in software development and project management, much of it in the telecoms industry, Andy set up Purple Crane with fellow director Chris Bond in 2007.
A Crystal Palace supporter, keen hiker, and a professional member of the BCS Chartered Institute for IT (MBCS), Andy enjoys real ale, and if it weren’t for Purple Crane he’d probably be running a small brewery.
