Security in Leeds

Gatehouse and warehouse security in Leeds and Wakefield.

Most of our work in Leeds and Wakefield is security guarding for logistics: gatehouse officers, distribution and warehouse security, and security for logistics operations. Gatehouse teams control who and what comes on and off site, check drivers and vehicles, keep accurate logs and keep traffic moving safely, while site officers keep watch over yards, loading bays and perimeters.

The area between Leeds and Wakefield, where the M1 and M62 meet, is one of the busiest logistics corridors in the North. The Leeds Enterprise Zone next to junction 45 of the M1, including Logic Leeds and Gateway 45, is home to manufacturing and distribution sites, and Wakefield has major logistics parks near the M62, including Wakefield Hub at junction 30. Sites like these run around the clock, hold high-value stock and see heavy vehicle traffic, so security has to fit around the operation.

Our officers are directly employed, vetted and SIA-licensed. As an SIA Approved Contractor, we agree cover around your site and report on every shift.

How every shift is checked

Every shift checked, from start to finish.

Gatehouse, guarding and concierge cover only works if the officer is on site, alert and doing what was agreed. This is how we make sure of that on every shift.

Checked at the start

Night shifts start with a video check of the officer’s uniform and SIA licence.

02

Check calls on every shift

Our control room makes check calls day and night. A missed check-in is escalated.

03

Supervisor visits

During the day, supervisors visit officers on site.
