The North West is the UK’s most powerful regional economy outside London – and its security demands reflect that weight. Greater Manchester generates an annual output of approximately £101 billion. The Port of Liverpool is the UK’s leading port for port-centric logistics. Trafford Park is Europe’s largest industrial estate. The aerospace supply chain runs from BAE Systems at Warton to BAE Systems at Samlesbury, Lancashire. Each carries a distinct and serious security requirement, and ProFM Group – headquartered in Chorley, at the heart of the region – delivers static guarding and mobile patrol solutions built around all of them.
The North West’s economic character is as varied as its geography – spanning MediaCity and Manchester’s Northern Quarter, the financial services of Spinningfields, the chemical operations of the Mersey estuary, and the agricultural communities of Lancashire and Cheshire. Every officer we deploy to these areas is SIA-licensed and BS:7858-vetted, locally based and coordinated 24/7 through our National Operations Centre (NOC) across the North West – ensuring a consistent response from the Wirral to the Pennines.
The North West’s commercial scale and sectoral diversity demand security technology that operates without compromise. ProFM Group hold NSI Gold accreditation across all installation and engineering work, with Paxton Gold status for access controls and intruder alarm systems, backed by 24/7 monitoring through our NOC. Every solution is designed from scratch – whether that’s bespoke CCTV packages for logistics operations on the M62 corridor, an access control installation for a technology campus in Manchester City Centre, or a surveillance overhaul for a chemical processing facility on the Mersey.
For the region’s more isolated and infrastructure-light sites – construction projects, remote rural premises, and energy installations across Lancashire and Cumbria – our temporary security technology provides the ideal solution. Solar-powered CCTV towers, VPOD visually-verified intruder alarms, and AI-assisted ProEyez smart perimeter detection all operate without a fixed power source, connecting wirelessly via a worldwide SIM for uninterrupted real-time monitoring at virtually any location.
The North West hosts some of the UK’s most iconic events. From Parklife at Heaton Park and major festivals across Lancashire, to Premier League fixtures at Anfield, Old Trafford and the Etihad, sell-out concerts at the AO Arena, and a thriving calendar of cultural events region-wide, the crowd profiles here are among the most varied and demanding in the country. With Martyn’s Law now in force, the obligation on organisers to demonstrate a rigorous, compliant security operation has never been greater – ProFM Group have the expertise and licensing to deliver it.
Our SIA-licensed event security teams are trained in crowd management, conflict de-escalation and WAVE (Welfare & Vulnerability Engagement) protocols. From bespoke risk assessments and security planning through to full post-event demobilisation, we deliver every aspect of your security under one provider – covering access control, ticketing, perimeter security, door supervision, and emergency response.

Still 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?Quality is built into every part of our services and operations. All our security officers are thoroughly screened with current licences from the Security Industry Authority (SIA) and vetting to BS:7858 standards. This ensures you have peace of mind about the professionalism of our service. Where additional checks are needed, for example DBS checks for deployments involving children or vulnerable people, we carry these out prior to any deployment.
The same level of oversight goes into our technology-led security solutions too. Our electronic security solutions are fully NSI Gold-accredited and Paxton Gold certified, a recognised benchmark of engineering excellence and service quality.
Every security officer we deploy holds a valid Security Industry Authority (SIA) licence and is vetted in full compliance with BS:7858, the British standard for the screening of people working in a security environment. This covers identity verification, employment history, and criminal record checks, so you can be confident in the people protecting your site. For event security specifically, we deploy SIA-licensed officers alongside experienced operational leaders, ensuring the right expertise is matched to the right environment.
Our ProEyez system uses intelligent image analysis to accurately detect human movement within a 35-metre range, while filtering out false activations caused by animals or environmental triggers. The system can also tell the difference between different types of vehicle. Our broader CCTV and intruder alarm systems also incorporate AI integration and advanced threat detection features, all monitored around the clock from our National Operations Centre.
The North West faces a distinct set of pressures when it comes to security. Drug offences in the region have increased by 14%, weapon possession has also risen by 7%. Alongside this, an estimated £600 million was invested in North West businesses in 2023 alone. That level of growth and commercial activity inevitably attracts criminal attention, making robust, professionally managed security essential.
ProFM is headquartered at our National Operations Centre in Chorley, Lancashire, giving us a strategic base at the heart of the North West. We deliver expert, locally based security across the full region, including:
