Security in Manchester

Security built for how Manchester works.

Manchester never really stops. Apartment towers in the city centre, Ancoats and around Deansgate see residents, visitors and deliveries at all hours. Office blocks in Spinningfields and Piccadilly need a professional welcome by day and a secure building by night. Further out, warehouses and car showrooms hold stock and vehicles worth protecting around the clock.

We work across the city every day. We provide front-of-house concierge and Remote Concierge for luxury apartment buildings, run by our own team rather than an outside call centre. Our concierge clients include Premier Suites on Shudehill and Middlewood Plaza in Salford, with short stay and long stay apartments. We look after office blocks used by law firms and blue-chip companies, and we guard warehouses and car showrooms with security officers, mobile patrols and alarm response.

Our officers are directly employed, vetted and SIA-licensed. As an SIA Approved Contractor for Security Guarding and Keyholding, we agree the cover around your site and send you a real-time report after every visit.

How guarding is checked

Every shift checked, from start to finish.

Guarding 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.

01

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.

04

Relief cover arranged

Regular officers stay on your site, with relief cover arranged when they are off.

05

Reports you can see

Patrols and incidents are logged live on our reporting platform, and you can view them yourself.

Clear evidence from every shift

Guarding clients have access to our live tracking and reporting platform, so patrols, checks and incidents are recorded as they happen.

Sectors we protect

Security for Manchester’s key sectors.

A luxury apartment building, a law firm’s offices and a distribution warehouse need very different security. We plan cover around how each site runs, from resident and visitor access to deliveries and out-of-hours alarms.

Yes. We provide on-site concierge teams for luxury apartment buildings, and Remote Concierge for buildings that need cover without a full-time desk. Both look after residents, visitors, deliveries and access.

Remote Concierge gives your building a concierge service run by our own team, not an outside call centre, so residents and visitors still get help with access, deliveries and enquiries. It suits buildings where a full-time desk is not needed.

Yes. We look after office blocks used by law firms and blue-chip companies, with professional front-of-house officers by day and secure cover, patrols or alarm response out of hours.

Yes. We provide security guarding, mobile patrols and alarm response for warehouses and car showrooms, with a real-time report after every visit.

Night shifts start with a video check of each officer’s uniform and SIA licence, our control room makes check calls on every shift, and supervisors visit sites during the day. Patrols and incidents are logged live, and you can see the reports yourself.

We agree the response arrangements with you for each site. An officer attends, checks the outside and inside, resets the alarm where possible and sends you a report. Our security supports, but does not replace, the police and emergency services.

It depends on the site, the hours and the service you need. We talk it through with you, visit if it helps, and give you a clear written quote with no obligation.
