★★★★★5.0
★★★★★5.0SECURICO provides SIA-licensed security guard services for the retail & shopping centres sector, covering manned guarding, mobile patrols, gatehouse and access control, key holding and event cover — UK-wide. Officers are vetted to BS 7858 and backed by a 24/7 operations centre.
From a single store detective to a managed uniformed team across a shopping centre or retail park.
Retail loses more to crime than almost any other sector, and most of it walks out the front door. Organised shoplifting, returns fraud, till snatches and aggression toward staff have all climbed, and a visible, trained officer is still the most effective deterrent on the floor. SECURICO supplies both uniformed guards who control entrances and reassure customers, and plain-clothes store detectives who work the aisles and build evidence that stands up. We cover single units, high-street chains, retail parks and full shopping centres — managing access, monitoring CCTV, handling detentions correctly and de-escalating conflict before it spreads. Every officer is SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted and trained in the conflict-management and evidence-handling that retail actually demands, then backed by our 24/7 control room. The result is lower shrinkage, safer staff and a calmer shop floor.
Security guard services the retail & shopping centres sector trusts
SECURICO provides professional security guard services for the retail & shopping centres sector — manned guarding, mobile patrols, gatehouse cover and key holding, built around the risks specific to your sites and backed by a round-the-clock operations centre. We shape every contract to the setting rather than dropping in a generic guard.
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.
