One of the UK’s most rural regions, Cumbria is perhaps best known as the home of the Lake District. Security plays a major role in protecting that tranquillity, and with ProFM Group, we’re playing our role in delivering that protection. With our locally-based officers delivering expert, ground-level protection, and our National Operations Centre (NOC) coordinating everything centrally, we leverage the region’s complex network of roads, including the bisecting M6 that spans the length of Cumbria, the A6 that meanders through Kendal and Penrith, and the A590 and A66 that lead to the county’s coastline and places like Whitehaven and Workington.
It’s that all-encompassing approach that sees us provide a nationally renowned service, delivered by officers who are based in, and care about, their local area. It ensures that we’re able to provide expert security for some of the region’s most active areas, from major construction at St. Cuthbert’s in Carlisle, to hospitality hotspots in Windermere’s winding streets, all with that signature level of quality.
With an extensive roster of Cumbria-based security professionals, we’re able to deliver an expert approach to protecting this historic county. Our dedicated, local operational teams, supervisors and management, all coordinated by our National Operations Centre (NOC), are built to provide the coverage you need. We have specialist options designed around key retail hubs like Carlisle’s The Lanes, Westmorland in Kendal, and Barrow’s iconic Market Hall, key energy projects at Sellafield, and manufacturing projects like BAE’s submarine enterprise that dominate the Furness coastline.
Our bespoke approach underpins that – we’re firm believers that no two security solutions should be the same, and we’re committed to delivering a package that’s designed with your unique risk factors in mind.
While Cumbria is one of the more sparsely populated areas of the UK, mobile security can’t (and shouldn’t) take a back seat. We’ve been quick to recognise that, leveraging the key thoroughfares across the county, including the M6, which forms the backbone of the region’s road network. We also deploy our network of officers across the smaller roads that connect the bigger towns and cities with some of Cumbria’s more idyllic destinations, like the A591 that runs from Windermere to Keswick, the A590 that runs east-to-west connecting Ulverston and the Furness area with the motorway, and the A66 that crosses the Pennines from Penrith.
It’s an integral pillar of the bespoke approach we take to securing your property, wherever you are in Cumbria. Combine that with an average response time of just 30 minutes, and locally-based officers to ensure that we’re always on hand, and we’re an ideal choice for Cumbrian security.
With the valleys and snaking roads of the Lake District playing host to so many independent businesses and hospitality venues, professional yet affordable security takes precedent. That’s especially true for B&B properties in places like Windermere and Coniston, and with our suite of budget-conscious solutions for key holding, alarm response, and lock and unlock solutions, we’re committed to delivering packages that are designed with those businesses in mind.
That’s always with 24/7/365 availability, and delivered by SIA-licensed professionals who are Cumbrian locals themselves. That local expertise, combined with a lower price point, means we’re able to deliver solutions for everything from cosy lodgings off Ambleside Road, to boutique retailers that line Kendal’s Stricklandgate and Bowness’ lakeside hideaways.
Arguably one of the best backdrops UK-wide, the Cumbrian fells and quaint towns offer a hidden treasure trove of events, ranging from the mountain festivals at Keswick and Kendal, to food festivals that seek to highlight the delicacies that Cockermouth, Maryport and Wigton offer. It’s a diverse mix, and one that deserves the expertise and peace of mind that professional security provides. At ProFM Group, we go beyond that, with SIA-licensed event teams, dedicated operational teams, and bespoke solutions designed around your event.
No matter what you have planned, whether it’s a Dickensian celebration or internationally-renowned horse racing at Cartmel, we can offer tailor-made solutions for monitoring guest flow, controlling access, directing visitors appropriately, and ensuring smooth and incident-free entrances and exits.
As the modern threat landscape evolves, it’s crucial that security technologies evolve alongside it. ProFM Group are at the forefront of that, delivering 21st Century innovation (like CCTV cameras with AI integration) to properties and sites across Cumbria, and temporary solutions that don’t compromise on quality. It’s all underpinned by our NSI Gold accreditation – a mark of quality for all of our engineers, installation processes, and the monitoring we do through our 24/7 National Operations Centre (NOC).
It’s that level of competency and expertise that makes us an ideal choice for some of Cumbria’s key infrastructure and major industries, such as the shipbuilding and marine engineering with BAE and Siemens on the Barrow coastline, Carlisle’s key logistics hubs on the West Coast Main Line, and innovation in energy and nuclear tech around Sellafield and Whitehaven.

Still got a Question?We do. Emergencies aren’t predictable, and we’re firm believers that security solutions need to be adaptable. As part of that, our Operational structure is designed to accommodate short-notice requirements (trespassing at St. Cuthbert’s in Carlisle, or a damaged alarm system at one of Windermere’s major retailers, for example) without compromising on quality or professionalism
Our average response time across Cumbria is just 30 minutes, wherever you are. We achieve that through our extensive network of locally-based security professionals, all available 24/7/365 to ensure that, even if an alarm sounds in the middle of the night, you’re never far from the right solution.
We’ve built a comprehensive footprint across the Cumbria area, supporting businesses, events and private clients (usually for prestigious weddings at venues across the Lakes) with expert security. While we’ll often operate in the background, we’ve previously worked with the Lake District Wildlife Park, Cumbria County Council, and Walking with the Wounded for their events in Grasmere.
All of our security officers are fully licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) – a must-have for anyone working as a security professional – and have passed our stringent vetting and screening process before setting foot on your site. As part of that initial training, they’ll also have completed emergency first aid training, and be familiar with laws around counter terrorism and event security in line with Martyn’s Law.
Our officers go a step further than that, though. We provide monthly training courses that are specific to your premises or sector (shoplifting warning signs for retail security officers, for example), conduct routine visits to ensure that standards are maintained at a high level, and offer unmatched opportunities for progression through our Operational structure.
We know that you’re likely to want a company that’s got Cumbria at its heart, and we intend to deliver on that. We combine a national level of expertise and professionalism (best exemplified by our National Operations Centre (NOC), which centrally coordinates all of our officers) with local understanding and knowledge and officers who live in and genuinely care about your area. It comes back to our central ethos – we intend to be big enough to deliver those expert solutions, but small enough to care about the details that matter to you.
We deliver an exceptional level of coverage for the Cumbria area, delivering both permanent solutions like CCTV installations (essential for the region’s mainstays around logistics areas in Carlisle, and nuclear pioneers on the west coast), access controls, and intruder alarms, and temporary options designed for construction projects.
All of these are fully certified by the National Security Inspectorate (NSI) to Gold level – a seal of quality for all of our engineers, and proof that our solutions are the very best we can provide. That also includes comprehensive, round-the-clock monitoring from our National Operations Centre (NOC), whether you’ve got a temporary VPOD or CCCTV tower, or a fully-fledged installation.
