Perhaps one of the most immediately recognisable and reactive forms of security, ProFM have cultivated a reputation for providing the very best our sector can offer. We provide fully SIA-licensed security guards, all of whom have been vetted and screened in line with BS:7858 and trained to an exceptionally high standard.
While Cumbria is best known for the serene backdrop of the Lake District and the rolling hills that peter out to the Irish Sea beyond, there’s a quietly vibrant events scene underneath it. ProFM Group are delighted to support in that, offering our unique brand of expert event security for Buzz Bingo events across the area, including on the Morecambe seafront.
With Cumbrian businesses often being quite large in scope, a static security presence isn’t always the right fit. With our mobile officers, all of whom are fully SIA-licensed and thoroughly vetted, you’ve the option of a more proactive approach to site security. Our officers can conduct routine patrols to ensure the full integrity of your perimeter and any outbuildings.
In the modern world, budgets are tightening, and expenses come under increased scrutiny. We’ve recognised that here at ProFM, and with our suite of affordable yet professional options, we seek to address that. Here’s a brief breakdown of our most in-demand choices:
Surveillance and monitoring are two incredibly important parts of the security process. As the recognised industry leader, we’re at the forefront of those developing technologies and the customised solutions that sites demand. From rapid-deployment mobile solutions to cutting-edge CCTV overhauls, we oversee everything with our sophisticated, 24/7 National Operations Centre.
While weddings and special occasions are often the focal point for Cumbria and its events scene, there’s far more to draw in the discerning traveller. Across all of that, though, a robust event security provider is essential, and with ProFM Group and our network of SIA-licensed officers, you’re partnering with the very best the area has to offer.
With a proud heritage in farming and agriculture, it’s easy to assume that Cumbria is still the rural paradise it’s painted out to be. Cumbria’s evolution in recent years has been fast, but we’ve matched that pace, delivering custom-built solutions for a huge range of sectors that best represent this transforming landscape.
“ProFM is an amazingly caring company. I truly feel like a person rather than a number, and they’re always on call if ever I need anything. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend ProFM!”
“We were thrilled to be offered the chance to partner with Virgin Media as part of their 6 Nations Rugby tournament event at Twickenham. Discover how we delivered an exceptional level of service during one of the most pivotal sporting events in the calendar.”
As one of the UK market leaders in luxury chocolate, Hotel Chocolat have quickly become synonymous with both that signature creamy texture and their high-impact, groundbreaking social initiatives. We’re thrilled to have been their security partner over the last 9 years, offering the bespoke levels of support that a brand like HC demands.
It’s fair to say that, since the Grenfell disaster in 2017, fire safety has taken on an entirely new level of importance. That’s something we’ve built a comprehensive familiarity with, and with our fast-acting and robust mobilisation at Berwick Court in Southwark, we were able to deliver a comprehensive, multi-officer solution at a moment’s notice.
“I would like to express how professional the ProFM staff deployed to our site have been. Many people have tried to access the site, but have always been deterred by the ProFM team. I couldn’t of wished for a better service. Thank you to the team for all your support throughout the project.”
“ProFM’s UK coverage, high degree of flexibility and experienced senior team have resulted in an excellent level of support across our events. Their approach and drive to really understand our events and the type of team they need to deploy at each venue has ensured that our customers and teams truly have a security team that have their safety and security at the forefront of their approach.”
“Security are a critical part of the team, I go home on an evening and am happy and confident that everything is ok. We have a very successful relationship with ProFM and will be working with them for a long time”
“We appreciate the work ProFM Group has done and thank you for your contribution to the successful management of our emergency provision, through which we were able to provide accommodation and support to these often-vulnerable clients.”
“ProFM Group have been awarded the security contract for our new £32M facility here at Newport. When the facility was opened by HRH Prince Charles, there were a number of VIPs on this day, and the ProFM team worked closely with the Royal Security Team to make the day run smoothly.”
A pioneer in specialist products and chemicals for building projects, SIKA’s reputation so often precedes it. It’s that reputation that meant it needed an equally reputable security solution, and ProFM were on hand to deliver exactly that. That’s kick-started a multi-year partnership and personalised solutions.
Our solutions are tailored to your specific premises and security requirements, guaranteeing that you’ll receive a personalised, first-rate service every time.
ProFM Group are officially the UK’s #1 security company, and that’s all down to the strengths of our people. All our officers are expertly trained, vetted, and licensed by the SIA.
A rapid response is vital to protecting your site. With our average response time of 30 minutes across the UK, our officers will attend quickly to resolve any potential or genuine threats.
Whether it’s a physical security presence you need, like security officers or canine handlers, or cutting-edge surveillance and monitoring equipment, ProFM have the solutions you need.
Security guards have been proven to be one of the most effective visual deterrents, stopping criminals in their tracks and shielding your property from vandalism, theft and crime.
With our security guards able to adapt and fulfil multiple roles, such as concierge duties and conducting risk assessments, you can keep costs down without compromising on vital services.
The most common reason for choosing to partner with security professionals is protection. Not only does a visible, overt security presence help deter criminals and trespassers, but it’s also a shining example of your commitment to a safer Cumbria. That’s particularly important, given the area’s popularity with tourism and its rising reputation as an industrial hub.
Our reputation as the UK’s #1 security company hasn’t stemmed from just one service delivered expertly – we’re able to offer equally exceptional options across a range of services, including:
These often depend on the type of your site, and what you’d need your security professionals to do (a hotel, for instance, might need their guards to help guests check in). However, as a general rule, you can expect a security officer to:
We’ve been committed to the highest possible quality since our inception nearly 30 years ago. A huge part of that is the people we employ, and we enforce those standards by only deploying officers who are fully licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) and who have passed our in-depth vetting and screening checks.
We know that emergencies can and do happen, and as a leading security company, we strive to respond rapidly, but never at the detriment of professionalism. In the majority of circumstances, we can have an officer on your site on the same day (in as little as an hour in some cases).
As you might expect, this depends on a few different factors, such as how many cameras you need, the complexity of the installation, and the size and availability of your site. While our mobile solutions (designed for construction projects) can be set up and connected in a day, more complex installations will need to be completed on a schedule that works for you.
All of the cameras we install connect via secure Internet to our state-of-the-art National Operations Centre. From here, they’re monitored by our team of trained, SIA-licensed professionals constantly – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They’re able to deploy an appropriate response at the first sign of any issue, with an officer on-site in just 30 minutes on average.
Our extensive network of SIA-licensed officers means we’re able to offer expert, ultra-professional security for a huge range of events, including:
The only events we don’t currently offer coverage for are house parties and those held in pubs, clubs and bars.
In our experience, we’ve found that the right ratio of security to guests tends to be 1 security officer per 100 – 150 guests expected in attendance. This can change based on key factors, such as whether you plan to serve alcohol.
All of the security solutions we deliver are fully tailored to suit your unique site or event, and we provide specially designed quotations to match those demands. This means we can’t offer an idea of price without knowing more about your specific site.
