★★★★★5.0SECURICO provides SIA-licensed security guards in York and across North Yorkshire, from £24 per hour — directly employed, fully vetted and available at short notice for manned guarding, mobile patrols, key holding and door supervision.
Trained, insured and accountable security for businesses throughout York and North Yorkshire, priced transparently.
York's security demand is shaped by heritage tourism, retail and a growing science and business base. The walled centre — the Shambles, Coppergate and the constant visitor footfall — calls for retail loss prevention and crowd and event cover, while the city's many bars drive SIA door supervision. The retail and business parks at Clifton Moor and Monks Cross, and the industrial sites at Layerthorpe, need gatehouse control and overnight guarding. The University of York at Heslington and the city's bioscience and tech campuses bring research premises and student accommodation needing managed-access cover. York's tightly controlled development of listed and city-centre buildings keeps empty-property and plant protection in demand, and the racecourse and event venues add large-scale crowd security. Residential Acomb, Fulford and Tang Hall suit mobile patrols. Our York officers are SIA-licensed and based locally, run from our Cardiff control room, so cover scales from a single site to a managed contract across York and North Yorkshire.
