A local guarding partner for Cardiff businesses
From the offices and hotels around Cardiff city centre to the warehouses and distribution units along the A48 corridor, SECURICO provides SIA-licensed security guard services built around how Cardiff businesses actually operate. Our officers cover corporate receptions, retail premises, construction sites, student accommodation and industrial estates across the city and the wider South Wales region.
Cardiff’s mix of a busy night-time economy, a growing student population and major event days at the Principality Stadium creates security demands that change week to week. We plan cover around that reality — scaling officer numbers up for event weekends and match days, and providing consistent, reliable manned guarding the rest of the year. Every assignment is backed by our 24/7 operations centre, with vetted officers, live reporting and a named point of contact.
Whether you need a single static guard for a city-centre office or multi-officer cover across several South Wales sites, you’ll get a fixed, transparent quote and a free site survey before anything is signed.
