24/7 Manned Guarding, Key Holding, Response & Mobile Patrols

Industry leading key holding and manned guarding solutions, with SIA licensed security officers, protecting against criminal activity, theft and vandalism in Plymouth and the South West.

Deter Crime Effectively with Visible Manned Guarding

A visible security presence is one of the most effective ways to deter criminal activity, vandalism, theft and unauthorised access. This can be far more effective than an audio challenge, or passive alarm sounder. Our manned guarding services provide SIA licensed professionals who patrol premises, monitor access points, and respond swiftly to any suspicious behaviour. This proactive approach significantly reduces the risk of theft, vandalism, and other security breaches.

24/7 Protection and Rapid Incident Response

With guards on duty 24/7 businesses are protected even outside of regular operating hours. In the event of a security incident, every second counts. Our manned guards are trained to respond quickly and effectively to emergencies, minimising damage and ensuring the safety of staff and assets. From medical emergencies to security breaches, our team is prepared to handle any situation with professionalism.

Highly Trained Guards: Expertise You Can Rely On

Our security personnel undergo rigorous training and background checks to ensure they are equipped to handle any security challenge and all are SIA licensed and fully trained. From conflict resolution to emergency response, our security officers possess the skills and knowledge necessary to protect your business effectively. Trust in our expertise to keep your premises safe.

We currently hold SIA Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) status for the provision of Security Guarding, Key Holding and Public Space Surveillance CCTV.
