Burnley’s scale of construction activity, combined with its established industrial base at Burnley Bridge, Rossendale Road, and Lomeshaye Business Village, means the demand for a reliable security company spans active regeneration sites, manufacturing premises, and the busy retail core at Charter Walk simultaneously.
Our SIA-licensed security guards can cover Burnley town centre, Charter Walk shopping centre, Hammerton Street, Burnley Bridge Business Park, and Shuttleworth Mead – with deployed officers already based in and around the town. For clients who need coverage across multiple Burnley sites, our mobile patrol services provide a verified, timed response at all your locations.
Every patrol is logged and coordinated through our NOC, which operates 24/7/365. ProFM is also a member of the Lancashire Partnership Against Crime (LANPAC), the constabulary-run initiative that keeps security providers directly connected to policing priorities and focus areas across Lancashire and beyond with our security services in the North West.
Our CCTV installations in Burnley are certified to NSI Gold standards, covering permanent systems for commercial, industrial, and retail premises alongside temporary deployments for construction sites and events. CCTV systems work as a standalone deterrent and as an integral layer alongside manned security guards, with camera feeds monitored 24/7 through our NOC. Where an alarm is triggered, a licensed officer responds directly.
Our access control installations are Paxton Gold-accredited, covering door entry, visitor management, and intruder alarms for commercial and corporate properties. For Burnley’s busy industrial sites at Rossendale Road and Heasandford Innovation Drive, and for construction activity at Pioneer Place and the Weavers’ Triangle, we also deploy solar CCTV towers, VPOD, and ProEyez AI-assisted perimeter detection – operational within hours and requiring no mains connection.

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 is now on the statute books, with its 2027 rollout bringing mandatory compliance requirements for qualifying venues across the UK. ProFM already operates to this standard across all event security deployments, covering the risk assessment, planning, and operational requirements that Martyn’s Law will formalise.
Our event security teams cover the full operational scope: risk assessment, access control, ticketing checks, crowd management, bag screening, car park control, and WAVE (Welfare and Vulnerability Engagement)-trained officers for incidents involving vulnerable attendees.
Burnley Live – the annual multi-venue free music festival across over 20 venues in the town centre – and the Artisan Market on St James’s Street require crowd management across dispersed outdoor and indoor locations simultaneously. ProFM’s event security scales to these multi-site requirements without agency fill-ins.
ProFM Group has built its reputation over 30 years on one principle: security designed around the specific requirements of each client and each site.
