The basics
What is industrial security?
Industrial security means protecting factories and production sites from theft, trespass, damage and safety risks. Trained, SIA-licensed officers control who enters, check vehicles and contractors, and patrol areas such as yards, stores and plant rooms. Our industrial and factory security guide explains what manufacturing sites need to get right.
Factory security services also help keep sites running safely. Officers carry out fire and safety checks on patrol, report hazards, and support your team during emergencies. Many clients combine a gatehouse officer with regular foot patrols of the perimeter for full cover.

Standards
Trained and SIA licensed officers
We only deploy officers we would trust on our own sites. Before anyone starts with a client, we check their licence, background and right to work, then brief them on the site and its risks.
- Every guard holds a valid SIA front-line licence
- Background, identity and right-to-work checks before deployment
- Site induction and written assignment instructions for every new site
- Ongoing training so officers stay alert, professional and ready to respond
- Smart uniforms and clear ID at all times
Reporting and response
Reporting you can see, cover you can count on
Our officers keep daily activity logs and report every incident, so you always have a clear record for managers and insurers.
