★★★★★5.0SECURICO provides manned guarding across the UK — delivered by SIA-licensed, directly-employed officers vetted to BS 7858 and backed by a 24/7 operations centre. Cover is shaped around your site and scaled from a single shift to a managed multi-site contract.
Best when a site needs a constant physical presence — controlling access, deterring intrusion and responding on the spot.
Manned guarding is the foundation of physical security: a trained, SIA-licensed officer physically present on your site, deterring intrusion, controlling who comes and goes, and responding the moment something is wrong. It's the right choice wherever a constant presence matters — a reception that needs staffing through business hours, a construction gatehouse checking deliveries, a warehouse that can't be left dark overnight. SECURICO officers are directly employed and vetted to BS 7858, never subcontracted, so the standard you're promised is the standard that turns up. Each officer arrives with written assignment instructions built around your premises rather than a generic brief, and every shift is logged and supervised from our 24-hour control room. Cover scales from a single overnight guard to a managed team across multiple sites, and pairs easily with mobile patrols or remote CCTV where a full-time presence isn't needed everywhere.
Professional manned guarding across the UK
SECURICO provides manned guarding for organisations across every sector — built around the risks specific to your site rather than dropped in as a generic guard. Officers arrive with assignment instructions written for your premises, and every shift is backed by a round-the-clock operations centre.
Every SECURICO officer is directly employed, holds a valid SIA licence and is vetted to the BS 7858 British screening standard — never subcontracted. That means the standard you're promised is the standard that turns up, whether you need a single overnight officer or a managed team across multiple sites.
