Facilities Management Trusted By
Bolton is in the middle of its largest commercial shift in decades, with the £1 billion town centre regeneration masterplan combining huge amounts of commercial and residential development, alongside sitting on one of the North West’s busiest logistics corridors.
That concentration of active construction, high-value distribution network and high retail footfall means Bolton security services need to be proactive and adaptive to meet unique security challenges. We can deploy security officers at a moment’s notice anywhere in Bolton, as well as providing expert security services in the North West as a whole.
Every officer is fully licensed by the SIA, and vetted to BS7858 standard, capable of providing visible manned guarding in key commercial areas, and mobile patrols around Bolton’s busy logistics sites. And all deployments are managed 24/7 through our National Operations Centre using data-driven decisions to manage key routes like Wigan Road, Moos Bank Way and St Peter’s Way.
This combination of expert local knowledge and central coordination means we have an average officer on-site time of just 30 minutes.
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.
And it’s all built from solid foundations. All CCTV installation and engineering services we carry out in Bolton are certified to NSI Gold standards, with access control and intruder alarm systems accredited to Paxton Gold level. These are the highest standards for electronic security and apply to every system we design, install and monitor.
All CCTV systems can operate as a standalone security solution or alongside manned guarding to protect your premises 24/7. Every installation is designed around your site plans and security profile, ensuring no blind spots and a fast alarm response backed by officer deployments.
For temporary security needs, or where no fixed infrastructure is available, our solar CCTV towers, VPOD intruder alarms and ProEyez AI-assisted perimeter detection give you full site security that’s fully connected to our NOC through a worldwide SIM.
Martyn’s Law (officially known as The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025) has been passed by Parliament, with full compliance by qualifying premises expected by 2027. Our event security operation has always worked to the higher standard the Act now places on businesses and organisers, which is good considering the needs of Bolton’s substantial event calendar.
The Bolton Food and Drink Festival is one of the largest food events of its kind, attracting more than half a million visitors to Victoria Square and the surrounding streets during the August bank holiday. Not to mention Bolton Wanderers’ stadium, The Albert Halls and Octagon Theatre.
Our security personnel are up to the task. All event security staff are current with SIA requirements, and our supervising team receive ongoing expert training in crowd management, de-escalating conflicts and WAVE practices. This is all delivered through our extensive training portal.
Your event security plan takes into account your venue type and size, expected attendance (adaptable to actual numbers at short notice) and any alcohol service areas. Every deployment covers all aspects of your event, from the initial risk assessment and ticket verification, to bag checks, crowd management, car park control and demobilising at the end of your event.
All our Bolton security guards are locally based and fully trained, licensed and vetted to the highest standards.
We provide planned and reactive mobile patrols ready to deploy at short notice for the city centre’s retail stores and larger sites.

A pronounced issue across the North West, Bolton’s unprecedented rise in drug offences could forecast further increases in theft and antisocial behaviour.
With Bolton’s nationally-renowned Ironman competition, warning signs like these could jeopardise future events, especially around events season.
Although projects like billion-pound town centre regeneration inject life into Bolton, they’re also major targets for organised crime and trespassing.
