Security in Trafford

Trafford security, from Trafford Park to Altrincham.

We work across Trafford in every sector, with every one of our services: security guarding, keyholding and alarm response, mobile patrols, vacant property checks for property managers, lock and unlock, concierge and CCTV towers. Much of that work is out of hours, when buildings are empty and an alarm needs someone to attend.

Trafford is one of the busiest parts of Greater Manchester for business. Trafford Park, the world’s first planned industrial estate, is home to more than 1,100 businesses and has had its own Metrolink line since 2020. Around it, Stretford town centre and the Civic Quarter are being redeveloped with thousands of new homes, and Altrincham, Sale and Trafford Wharfside all have major schemes under way or planned. New developments, changing occupiers and empty units in between all need reliable cover.

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

Know what happened on your site.

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