Get transparency for peace of mind

  • Before a shift we’ll send you the guard’s full name, SIA credentials and a photo so you know exactly who to expect. We send guards regular shift reminders, and they check in and out within geo-fenced site boundaries, so you know they are in the right place at the right time. At the end of the shift you’ll receive a full, comprehensive job report.

You're in expert hands

  • Led by Guarding Director Sean Hargreaves, our dedicated team are committed to delivering a quality service and ensuring effective governance across our supply chain. Along with our Quality Assurance team, they continually analyse partner performance and identify, investigate and address any issues, reporting back so you remain up to date.
