What makes us standout
Guarding Professionals aims to provide bespoke services to its clients and aims to do things differently. This view is predicated on the following:
People
Our people are the strongest pillar of our business. Many of our senior leadership have been promoted from within business. Our people are our assets and the heartbeat of Guarding Professionals. We pride ourselves on having an eye for the best personnel and creating a vibrant professional environment in which their skills are respected and developed.
Service Offering
We excel in our service delivery, and it is the reason why we have developed long standing client relationships some spanning over 10 years. Our quest to continually push boundaries in the pursuit of offering effective value-based solutions for our clients is the hallmark of our growth.
Technology and Innovation
At Guarding Professionals, we are increasingly aware of how digital technologies are changing the way we interact with the world. As a business we have invested heavily in a variety of digital products and systems that allow us to increase our efficiency and provide best value. These technological changes bring significant opportunities and represent transformational change in the security industry.
Our Approach
Before we provide guarding services to any client, we conduct assessments to determine the level of risk on the client’s property. After the risk assessment and discussion with the client, we will recommend any one or a combination of our range of guarding services and or solutions to meet the clients’ requirements.
- At Guarding Professionals, we remain committed to creating long term, mutually beneficial partnerships with our clients through our flexible and innovative approach to service delivery. Our layered management structure coupled with our investment in technological solutions to supplement our integrated guarding offering allows us to create the strongest value propositions for our clients.
- At Guarding Professionals, we pride ourselves on being an employer that values its personnel. We have strived to offer training that exceeds the statutory licencing requirements. This ensures that our clients are getting the very best service.

Quality Assurance
Our Mobile Response Officers (MROs) conduct patrols, locking and unlocking services as well as responding to alarm activations. The patrols are random and so potential intruders are not able to determine the pattern of the visits.
As part of our contract negotiations with our clients, we will agree and set out the terms for the provision of our services. The agreement will have targets and measurable objectives which will form the benchmark against which our performance will be judged. The parties will review these targets and objectives from time to time to ensure that the services we provide continue to meet our client’s objectives and requirements.
At Guarding Professionals Limited, we design and deliver our security training program to equip our officers with the skills and tools required for each assignment. Our training program is under constant review to ensure it is always relevant to the needs of the client. We ensure that staff are not deployed on clients’ sites without appropriate training and experience. To ensure a consistent, high-quality service, all staff complete refresher training on an annual basis.
Staff recruitment and vetting is handled by a dedicated recruitment and vetting team headed by our HR director. The process complies with all the requirements of British Standards (BS). In line with BS 7858:2015 (Code of Practice for Security Screening of Individuals Employed in a Security Environment) the initial process involves a 5-year limited screening. If satisfactory, the candidate is then offered provisional employment, subject to successful completion of our basic in-house induction-training. During the provisional employment of 12 weeks, the full 5-year written vetting process is conducted in accordance with the above standard by the team.
No employee can start work on any of our clients’ sites until our strict pre-employment checks have been completed. All security officers deployed to our sites will hold an SIA license which incorporates a basic Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks.
Accreditations
Guarding Professionals Limited currently holds SIA Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) status for the Provision of Security Guarding and Key Holding.
