Warehouse security services that protect your stock
FCS Group is a warehouse security company protecting distribution centres, fulfilment sites and storage units across the UK. All our security guards are fully SIA licensed and trained. Our warehouse security guards control gates and loading docks, check vehicles and seals, and patrol racking, yards and perimeters day and night.
Theft in warehouses often happens at the gate, on the dock or during shift changes. We build warehouse security solutions around your site, your stock and your operating hours, from one night officer to a full 24/7 team. You get a named account manager, clear reporting and one number to call.
What’s included

- Gatehouse, barrier and access control
- Vehicle, trailer and seal checks
- Patrols of racking, docks, yards and fences
- Lock-up, unlock and alarm checks

The basics
What does warehouse security include?
Warehouse security means placing trained, SIA-licensed officers on your site to protect stock, vehicles and staff. Officers control who comes through the gate, check loads and paperwork, and patrol areas that cameras cannot fully cover, such as trailer parks and the back of racking. For a deeper look at the risks and how to plan cover, read our warehouse security guide.
A good plan combines trained officers with physical security such as fencing, lighting, locked high-value areas and controlled gates. Our officers check doors and fences, work alongside your existing systems and keep a clear record of every vehicle and visitor, so losses are spotted early and you have evidence if something goes missing.

Our officers work alongside your existing systems and log every incident.
It depends on the size of the site, the number of gates and docks, the value of your stock and your operating hours. A small storage unit may need one night officer, while a large distribution centre often needs a gatehouse officer plus officers on the docks and patrols. We recommend numbers after a free site survey.
