Professional Manned Guarding across London & the UK
A visible, professional security presence remains the most effective deterrent to theft, vandalism, trespass and anti-social behaviour. Our manned guarding service places fully vetted, SIA-licensed officers at your premises on a schedule that fits your business, from single-shift cover to 24/7, 365-day protection.
Every assignment starts with a site survey and written assignment instructions, so your officers know your access rules, escalation contacts and priorities from day one. Officers are supervised, supported by our 24-hour control room, and report through daily occurrence logs and incident reports you can review at any time.
Ideal for
- Offices and corporate HQs
- Warehouses and distribution
