Facilities Management Trusted By
Unofficially recognised as the UK’s largest town, Northampton’s reputation and stature are just as pivotal as any city, with an illustrious history that dates back to 900 AD, and a distinct reputation in the shoe-making industry that’s survived by converted buildings. That esteemed status also means it’s a prime candidate for effective security solutions, and ProFM Group are a trusted partner in that. We deliver a robust blend of national expertise (exemplified by our National Operations Centre) and locally-based, SIA-licensed security professionals to encompass everything this historic town demands.
It’s also an approach that sees us harness the power of Northampton’s interlinked road network to deploy as effectively and swiftly as possible. From the M1’s junctions to the south of the town, to the A45 that runs through Wootton and Brackmills, to more town-centre routes like St Andrew’s Road and Upper & Lower Mounts, we’ve built a solution for Northampton that’s grounded in our expertise, and designed to evolve as this city-sized town does.
A tailored approach to security should always revolve, in some capacity, around the people who deliver that service. That’s something we’ve emphasised throughout our 30-year history at ProFM, cultivating specialist teams and trained professionals who’ve got the expertise and knowledge to deliver a comprehensive approach to security in Northampton. Whether that’s suited corporate security for the town’s high-fliers at the Waterside Enterprise Zone, shoplifting prevention for businesses at the Grosvenor or along Abington Street, or the overnight protection demanded by the industrial titans on Brackmills Business Park, we ensure a proactive, intelligent approach to protection.
That’s all underpinned by our unique methodology that guarantees we’re able to deliver the right people for Northampton’s evolving security demands. We provide Northampton-based security professionals who know and understand the issues you’re facing, all overseen and centrally arranged by our equally impressive National Operations Centre (NOC). Plus, with our proven reputation for quality, we’re the ideal option.
A town that’s in perpetual regeneration, most notably with the recent excavation and regeneration of the Market Square in 2024, security services won’t always be top billing when it comes to budgeting. There are options available, however, and with ProFM Group’s budget-friendly approach to keyholding and alarm response, we’re able to offer fully licensed security and 24/7 availability at a price point that’s affordable. That doesn’t come at the expense of quality, either, with full SIA licensing for all of our solutions.
As a town on the rise, Northampton’s smaller businesses – those at the Waterside Enterprise Zone and Vulcan Works are prime examples – could really benefit from this approach. That’s particularly true as it combines professional security (proven to lower insurance premiums alongside offering comprehensive coverage) with an affordable price point.
With Northampton nestled at the crook of the M1, and in close proximity to major cities like Birmingham and East Midlands neighbour Leicester, mobile security is imperative for the town’s bigger movers and shakers. With our blended approach, we’re committed to providing that protection through local, Northampton-based security officers who are available 24/7 and equipped with a vehicle and intimate local knowledge of how to navigate the town, all coordinated by our National Operations Centre (NOC) to ensure a seamless transition into protection, whenever you need it.
It’s that hub in our NOC that also functions as a way to plot out the most effective routes, taking into account essential roadworks (like those on Grange Road to address the potholes) and real-time traffic conditions to ensure that we’re able to get within that average response time of 30 minutes as much as possible. Our officers are also Northampton natives themselves, meaning they can use key backroads and lesser-travelled routes like Gold Street to the Museum, and Bedford Road past Beckets Park.
As the modern security landscape evolves, and new legislation like Martyn’s Law revolutionises how we approach professional protection, tech has to evolve too. ProFM Group are at the forefront of that, delivering leading, custom-built solutions that are designed around your unique requirements. With full NSI Gold accreditation for all of our engineering and installation work, and constant oversight from our National Operations Centre (NOC), you receive an all-encompassing approach to security technology.
It’s a methodology that’s seen us deliver countless tailormade systems solutions, and a translatable package that we can deliver to some of Northampton’s larger (and smaller) enterprises. From multi-million-pound logistics conglomerates at Brackmills or Upton, to covert cameras designed for both boutique and high street retailers along Abington Street, ProFM Group’s extensive expertise means we’re able to deliver the right solution no matter what you’re doing.
While it’s a town by status, Northampton’s event scene makes it very much a cosmopolitan destination with something to suit all tastes. But while celebrations like Bands in the Park and the Rockin’ Roadrunner Festival in Abington and the racecourse’s Carnival and Balloon Festival are family-friendly in scope, there’s still a pressing need for security professionals. ProFM Group are proud to deliver exactly that, with SIA-licensed officers and event teams on hand to deliver the right solutions.
That’s fully encompassing, too. Whether that’s support for the town’s Diwali and Pride celebrations in the Market Square, ticketing solutions designed to keep the Guildhall protected during Heritage Open Days, or a more all-encompassing risk and security-focused package for Becket’s or Abington Park, ProFM Group can be your trusted event security partner.

Still got a Question?We do. Last-second requirements can occur when you least expect them (like a malfunctioning alarm system or a recent break-in), and it’s crucial to know you can rely on your security provider. With our extensive network of Northampton-based security personnel, we’re able to provide a manned guarding solution on the same day in the majority of circumstances, and always with that signature level of quality.
Our average officer-to-site response time is 30 minutes, regardless of where you are in the town. That’s an average for a reason (unavoidable traffic conditions and inclement weather can increase travel time), but we strive to respond swiftly, decisively, and with the next course of action already planned. That may be contacting the emergency services in the event of a serious issue, addressing a false alarm activation, or tackling trespassers directly.
While we’re best known for the exceptional security personnel we provide, that’s not just limited to our static and mobile guarding. We can deliver a range of more specialist security services and officers trained in specific skillsets, including:
Those are all able to be combined with our range of other solutions, too, to ensure that we’re able to deliver the right package every single time.
Every officer we provide – from one-off shifts to long-term, multi-guard packages – is licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) as a minimum, and has passed our strict, 5-year screening and vetting checks conducted by our partner in the National Screening Agency (NSA). This is all done before they’re employed by us, and ensures that you get the very best our industry has to offer.
Our officers also have access to a full library of CPD-certified courses, and receive mandatory, role- and site-specific training courses to ensure that they’re always able to deliver the right solutions, no matter what happens.
With one of Britain’s largest market squares and a partially pedestrianised shopping route along Abington Street, retail protection is one of the most important aspects to consider for security in the Northampton area. We’ve designed bespoke, intelligent solutions for retailers, including:
We’ve also designed multiple specific training courses for our on-site officers in retail environments, including shoplifting prevention techniques, behavioural analysis to recognise thieves early, and key retail legislation.
It’s natural we’d want to go for a more locally-based provider for our security, especially when it comes to finding guards who understand the issues you face. ProFM Group have been quick to recognise that, providing local, Northampton-based officers for every project we undertake. It’s part and parcel of creating that bespoke approach, and ensures we deliver a service that’s centred around the town.
Our nationwide presence offers the flipside to that local touch, too. Northampton’s growth in recent years has meant that major businesses have laid down roots in the town, and that’s only set to continue with further investments from the Levelling Up fund. We can be a partner for your future as well as your present, delivering local expertise with a nationwide presence.
Still got a Question? (Contact Us Page)
The town’s major issue, and especially pressing given its retail prowess, shoplifting has become much more prevalent in comparison to last year.
Both armed and aggravated robbery spiked by a quarter in the last year of data, perhaps symptomatic of Northampton’s ongoing issues with violent crime.
While overall burglaries fell, non-residential properties felt the strain, and businesses lost assets and property.
