Facilities Management Trusted By
The modern Bolton landscape needs a security solution to match its industrious history. We deliver exactly that, with expert, locally-based security officers all coordinated through our National Operations Centre (NOC) and deployed with exceptional efficiency. Making expert use of the M61 along the fringes by Middlebrook and Westhoughton, the A666 along St. Peter’s Way, and key routes like Wigan Road and Moss Bank Way, we’re able to deliver fast-acting solutions designed to protect Bolton’s thriving heart.
It’s that bespoke approach that sees us deliver security for Bolton, using established, insightful local experts to understand the pressure points and what makes the town tick. That spans Bolton’s most important sectors, like key industrial players on the council-supported Logistics North and Wingates Estate, retailers along Bank Street and Bradshaw Gate, and the iconic Market at the very centre of Bolton.
As a leader in security services, we’ve built a comprehensive security footprint across Bolton, with dedicated, local officers and Operational teams on hand to support, all coordinated by our signature, 24/7 National Operations Centre (NOC). With one of the North West’s most diverse risk profiles and a hub for logistics along the Wigan-Bolton corridor, we pride ourselves on delivering tailored security for a huge range of sectors.
That includes support throughout the construction phase of Bolton’s ongoing regeneration across both Crompton Place and Church Wharf, hospitality and leisure security designed for the hustle and bustle of Victoria Square, and essential retail security across everything from Middlebrook Retail Park and the Toughsheet to Bolton Shopping Centre and Deansgate’s smaller shops.
One of the most affordable solutions in our catalogue, our local key holding and alarm response ensure complete, 24/7 response to any incidents at your property. That local expertise means we’re able to offer an average response time across Bolton of just 30 minutes, whether you’re on the fringes of Bolton’s economy at the Bradley Fold Trading Estate, a budding digital enterprise forming part of the University’s Innovation Zone, an SME on Deakins Business Park, or anywhere in between.
Plus, with this being one of our most cost-effective security solutions, coupling licensed officers with budget-friendly protection, it’s ideal for a Bolton that’s transforming through continued investment.
Security technology is an essential part of the modern protective industry, and Bolton’s evolving landscape demands a sophisticated solution to match. With our proven track record in delivering intelligent, cutting-edge systems, ProFM Group are an ideal choice for the town’s emerging businesses, including those across the Logistics North development, the Bolton Innovation Zone, and the thriving retail and hospitality hubs around the Town Hall and Bolton’s theatres.
That’s all built on firm foundations, too. We’re fully NSI Gold-certified – an industry-leading recognition of our engineers, installation quality and commitment to the very best quality of what we do. Plus, with our National Operations Centre (NOC) monitoring your security 24/7, 365 days a year, you’re never far from the right response.
Our network of local security officers is a catalyst in us providing a bespoke solution for Bolton’s diverse business landscape. It’s all spearheaded by our National Operations Centre (NOC), which coordinates everything centrally and allows for our Bolton-based service personnel to make effective, data-driven use of the town’s key routes.
That includes key thoroughfares like Marsden Road into Topp Way, the dual-carriageway along St. Peter’s Way, and Bury Road out past Bradley Fold and towards Manchester, as well as more remote areas that still form part of the wider Bolton area, such as Chorley New Road out towards Horwich, the A675 from Astley Bridge, and Plodder Lane past the hospital.
Most closely associated with the heights of hospitality towards Last Drop Village and Smithills Hall, it’s equally true that Bolton’s events scene goes far beyond that. With the Bolton Food and Drink Festival attracting upwards of half a million visitors over the August Bank Holiday, and Albert Halls and Toughsheet Stadium a year-round fixture, security is paramount, and we’re proud to deliver fully licensed and trained event security professionals across the Bolton area.
That expert training and local knowledge ensure our officers are on hand to support with every aspect you might need, including managing guest access, controlling bottlenecks and pressure points, supporting with guest arrival and ticketing, and ensuring a smooth and controlled exit.

View All Electronic Security ServicesStill got concerns about how we can support with security in Bolton? Here’s a selection of some of our most in-demand questions and answers.
Still got a Question?We have an average response time of just 30 minutes, wherever you are in this historic Greater Manchester mainstay. Our National Operations Centre (NOC), which coordinates all of our locally-based security personnel, is also only a short trip down the M61 in neighbouring Chorley, and ensures you’ve got a close connection to our HQ.
We do. While unassuming on the surface, Bolton’s place as a missile producer for the MoD means that urgent security cover can often be a far more pressing matter than you’d first assume. We’re proud to support in delivering expert security, whether that’s for critical infrastructure like the MBDA facility, transformative construction projects (the former bus station on Moor Lane, for instance), or last-minute retail sales at the Market Place.
In our view, Bolton’s risk landscape is as versatile and changing as the town itself. However, what we’d pinpoint as the major pressure point in 2026 is the emergence of logistics and distribution infrastructure off the M61. Logistics North, Wingates, and Panattoni Park are all starting to put Bolton on the map as a major stopping point on the logistics journey, particularly given their motorway links and early adoption by massive brands, which brings with it the real threat of organised theft, criminal damage, and trespassing.
We’d also highlight that older, more established risks haven’t disappeared – Bolton is renowned as a market town, and as that’s become more modern, shoplifting and petty theft have become more pronounced.
All of the officers we deploy, no matter where you are in Bolton or its surrounding areas, are fully licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA). They’ll also have been vetted and screened for a minimum of 5 years in line with BS7858 standards, and complete routine refresher courses and additional training to ensure they’re ideal for your sector and risk profile.
Yes. While they are one of the best criminal deterrents available, we would advise that they are deployed as a measure for industrial properties that could be the target for organised criminals (Hexagon Park and Wingates Industrial Estate, for example) or where there’s less infrastructure and limited power (properties towards Winter Hill are a prime example of that).
We do. Bolton’s biggest industries revolve around manufacturing and transportation, which are fast becoming much more than a warehouse. We’re able to provide customer service-focused officers who act as both the first point of contact for guests and visitors, and as a trained and SIA-licensed defence against criminal threats.
