Facilities Management Trusted By
ProFM Group are a leading, North West-based security company, delivering expert, bespoke security solutions (including manned guarding, mobile patrols and key holding and alarm response) through our centralised National Operations Centre in Lancashire. Although our National Operations hub is based in Chorley, we deliver local experts in every area of the North West, including Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester and Merseyside.
Our operational footprint combines security professionals with deep local expertise and unmatched rapid response times across the North West. By leveraging the M6 corridor, we provide seamless coverage from Warrington and Manchester, past Preston and Blackpool, and up to Lancaster and Carlisle. Our strategic positioning near major city links – including the M61, Liverpool M57, and the M56 to Chester – ensures we’re never far away.
As a region we’re proud to call home, we give back with exceptional, locally-based security. Whether you’re a city-centre retailer serving the L1 crowds, or a major manufacturer among the stacks of Runcorn and Widnes, all of our specialist local officers are backed by our National Operations Centre (NOC) to ensure both a comprehensive approach to protection, and a solution that’s designed for the people, by our people.
From tailor-made options designed around industrial powerhouses at Trafford Park or Ellesmere Port, to essential guarding for construction projects across Crown Street Phase 3 and the Eden Project in Morecambe, we’re on hand to deliver the local expertise and national footprint the North West demands.
While the North West is dominated by the twin powerhouses of Liverpool and Manchester, we’ve been quick to recognise that effective North West security solutions can’t just focus on those areas. For our mobile security patrols, we combine the expert oversight and coordination of our National Operations Centre (NOC) with locally-based officers to take advantage of some of the region’s extensive road network, including the arterial motorways (M6, M61, M62, and M65) and A-roads (A6, A580, and A56) that offer an interwoven web to navigate the North West.
Plus, with 24/7 availability, 365 days a year, and an average response time of 30 minutes wherever you are, you can rely on ProFM Group for expert mobile security.
While security is a non-negotiable for so many, it can also present an obstacle when it comes to budgeting. That’s where our more affordable packages for key holding, alarm response and lock and unlock services shine, offering professional security in the North West at a budget-conscious price point. With the North West seeing an estimated 43,000 new startups last year alone, effective yet affordable solutions for security have quickly become essential.
Whether it’s a Preston-based start-up looking to capitalise on the city’s expanding economy, a budding enterprise rubbing shoulders with the established giants of Warrington’s Omega Business Park, or Cheshire Oaks’ discount designer retailers, we can provide complete, 24/7 protection with a 30-minute average response time.
As times change, modern security technology changes alongside them. From AI integration with CCTV cameras and intruder alarms to advanced threat detection features that ensure minimal false activations, ProFM Group can provide fully NSI Gold-accredited solutions – a concrete guarantee of quality, engineering expertise, and the packages we deliver for maintenance and servicing. That’s all coupled with round-the-clock monitoring by our National Operations Centre (NOC) to ensure that, wherever an issue presents itself, our team (and you) are in complete control.
That sophistication means they’re ideal for some of the North West’s more innovative areas, from the inner-city hotspots of Manchester (the Oxford Road corridor, for instance) and Liverpool (L1 and the bustling docklands), to groundbreaking tech built by the advanced, Europe-leading aerospace pioneers of Samlesbury, Burnley & Pendle, and along the Fylde Coast.
The North West is one of the UK’s (if not the world’s) biggest cultural hubs. From legendary places of musical heritage like Liverpool’s Cavern Club or Heaton Park in Manchester, to sporting prowess and Blackburn’s Premier League heritage, there’s no denying the impact this region had and continues to have. It’s with that in mind that we’ve built specialised, SIA-licensed event security teams and Operational leaders to deliver a comprehensive approach to protecting your event, all coordinated centrally by our National Operations Centre (NOC).
All of our solutions are bespoke, taking into account key considerations for your event, like guest flow (essential for outdoor venues like the Castlefield Bowl or Lytham seafront during the festival), ticketing services, directing and supporting guests, and ensuring a smooth exit when your event is over.

View All Electronic Security ServicesStill unsure if we’re the right choice for business security in the North West? We’ve put together a selection of our most-asked questions and how we deliver on those promises.
Still got a Question?All of the security officers we employ are fully licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA), and have passed our own strict, 5-year screening and vetting process in line with BS7858. As part of the SIA training process, they’ll also have emergency first aid training and be fully up-to-date with the latest counter-terrorism initiatives.
Beyond that, your officers will also receive site- and duty-specific training courses through our custom-built online training platform, and extensive guidance from our experienced Operations team.
Our local knowledge, extensive expertise and roster of locally-based officers ensure we’re able to provide an average response time of just 30 minutes, wherever you are in the North West. Whether you’re a more remote agricultural or logistics business on the fringes of Cumbria, or a hospitality venue nestled at the heart of Manchester, we’re committed to addressing your issues as soon as possible.
We do. Our Head Office is on Buckshaw Village, part of Chorley in Lancashire. That’s a tactically chosen location, giving our HQ rapid access to both the M6 (the North West’s major thoroughfare) and the M61 (directly linking to both Manchester and Bolton), as well as the A6, which connects the Peak District to Carlisle.
We can. Although we’d always recommend investing in security sooner rather than later, we know that emergencies can and do happen. Whether that’s a broken shutter at a Trafford Park industrial titan, trespassing concerns at a remote energy project like Stanlow at Ellesmere Port, or spiking shoplifting figures across major cities, we’re able to react rapidly, with same-day solutions available in the majority of cases.
As a North West mainstay, the area has been one where we’ve built substantial, strong bonds across. From our support for events at Manchester Cathedral and the former site of the theme park Camelot, to fruitful partnerships with some of the North West’s biggest movers and shakers (like Snuggledown, a nationally-renowned bedding manufacturer in Wigan, Dennis Eagle, a major provider of refuse collection vehicles, and the Clitheroe Food Festival, which saw 25,000 people descend on the town), we’ve got extensive and demonstrable experience in supporting the area with expert, locally-based security.
With the North West being our home and hub for our National Operations Centre (NOC), we’re naturally committed to reducing crime and creating an area where everyone can prosper without fear of criminal impacts. Our primary way of doing that is through our dedicated security professionals, and the operational network we have around them, as well as our rapid incident response time of just 30 minutes.
Outside of that, though, we’re directly involved with multiple initiatives designed to create safer spaces, and combat crime at both its root and as it happens. We’re members of the City of Manchester Security Council, an elite group of security companies who work alongside the police and other like-minded professionals to deliver expert protection during major events in the city. We’re also part of the Lancashire Partnership Against Crime (LANPAC), which gives us insights into the latest crime prevention initiatives across the region, and how we can best support.
