Who we work for
Who do we look after?
We look after main contractors, facilities managers, managing agents, logistics operators, retailers and charities. Each needs something different from its security.
Construction contractors
Gate control, out-of-hours guarding and traffic marshals for live sites.
Facilities managers
Officers for offices and business premises, by day or out of hours.
Managing agents
Concierge officers, patrols and keyholding for residential and mixed-use buildings.
Warehouse and logistics operators
Gatehouse, vehicle and yard control for distribution sites and industrial estates.
Retailers
Uniformed officers for shops and shopping centres.
Good security is mostly quiet. The right person on the gate. A site that’s checked, locked and logged. And a call to you when something isn’t right.
How it works
What happens when you call?
- 01
We plan your cover
Tell us the site, the hours and the duties. We visit the site, work out how many officers you need, and send a written quote as soon as possible.
- 02
Officers start
Your officers start on the date we agree with you. We can usually start within 24 hours. If it's urgent, we need at least 3 hours' notice.
- 03
We keep watch, 24/7
We monitor officers and sites around the clock, every day of the year. What we report, and how often, depends on what you need.
How we work
How do we look after your site?
The same standards stand behind every officer we send.
Every officer SIA-licensed
Every officer we put on your site holds the SIA licence the job needs. The SIA licenses individual officers.
Monitored 24/7
We monitor our officers and sites around the clock from our control room, every day of the year, including nights, weekends and bank holidays.
Vetted before they start
We screen our officers to BS 7858 before their first shift.
Briefed on your site
Officers work to written instructions for your site, agreed with you: their duties, who to call, and what to do in an emergency. Every officer gets an induction, and our supervisors visit regularly.
Certified to ISO 9001:2015
Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015, covering guarding and keyholding. Our operations team is led by a manager who holds the IOSH Managing Safely certificate.
