Rich Heritage

In 1901 His Majesty King Edward VII consented to head our list of Governors. Maintaining this tradition, the reigning Sovereign has continued this Royal patronage in the office of Chief Life Governor ever since.

Such a rich heritage allows us to combine traditional values with a modern approach. Our priority is, and always has been, the security, safety and wellbeing of our customers’ people, property and assets and we achieve this through physical security guarding and the high levels of investment in technology that can be found in the Corps Monitoring Centre (CMC).

By offering the knowledge, expertise and best-in-class service that only a security specialist can provide, we employ the most professional, highly trained, dedicated, motivated and well presented people as security guards. By continually investing in our employees through award winning training schemes, they are able to enjoy successful and rewarding careers – as a result we have the best levels of staff retention in the industry.

By investing time to understand a customer’s particular requirements, we provide a truly unique solution that exceeds all expectations and goes beyond most service level agreement requirements. We believe security is a 24/7 function that can only be achieved through robust contract management. Just as importantly, every one of our teams is backed-up by appropriately trained reservists, ensuring that service standards are fully maintained during any periods of holiday or sickness.

Our fresh, friendly and flexible approach means that we are the specialist security solutions provider of choice for organisations across a wide range of business and operational sectors.
