Services
Manned Guarding
Our SIA-accredited security guards provide static and mobile protection for venues, events, and corporate premises. Trained in crowd control, first aid, and anti-terrorism, they ensure safety through professionalism and discretion. Services include venue security, gatehouse operations, and concierge support, tailored to client-specific requirements.
Event Security
Specialist event security services cover festivals, concerts, and corporate functions. Our team manages crowd control, access management, and emergency response, ensuring compliance with safety regulations. With experience at events like the Olympic Torch and Suffolk Womens Cycle Tour, we deliver risk-mitigated solutions for gatherings of all sizes.
Cash in Transit
Secure transportation of cash and valuables using vetted personnel and advanced protocols. This service includes route planning, vehicle tracking, and real-time communication to prevent theft or loss. Ideal for businesses requiring regular cash collections or high-value asset transfers.
Key Holding
24/7 key holding and alarm response services ensure rapid intervention during emergencies. Our team responds to intruder alarms, fire alerts, and lockouts, providing reassurance for commercial properties. This service integrates with existing security systems for seamless incident management.
Waking Watch
Scheduled night patrols maintain security in unoccupied premises, particularly during construction or low-activity periods. Our staff conduct fire safety checks, monitor access points, and deter trespassing, offering a cost-effective alternative to static guarding for intermittent coverage.
