★★★★★5.0Security guards in Edinburgh from £24 per hour — SECURICO supplies SIA-licensed, BS 7858-vetted officers across Edinburgh and Lothian, directly employed and ready at short notice for guarding, patrols and key holding.
Trained, insured and accountable security for businesses throughout Edinburgh and Lothian, priced transparently.
Edinburgh's security demand is driven by finance, tourism and a world-famous festival calendar. The financial district — the banks, fund managers and corporate offices around Lothian Road, St Andrew Square and Edinburgh Park — needs front-of-house and concierge cover, while Princes Street, the St James Quarter and the Royal Mile shops call for retail loss prevention. The Old Town's bars and the festival crowds make the city one of the UK's biggest event and door-supervision markets, with the Fringe and Hogmanay generating large-scale crowd-security demand. The industrial and business sites at Sighthill and the Gyle need gatehouse control and overnight guarding, and Leith's waterfront regeneration keeps empty-property and plant protection in demand. Residential New Town and the suburbs suit discreet mobile patrols. Our Edinburgh officers are SIA-licensed and based locally, run from our Cardiff control room, so cover scales from a single site to a managed event or multi-location contract across the city and the Lothians.
