How We Deliver Security In Manchester

As a self-proclaimed Northern capital, we leverage our entire Operational network to ensure comprehensive coverage for the Manchester area. Centralised through our National Operations Centre (NOC), we strategically use real-time traffic data to make proactive use of the M60 Ring Road and the M602 that reach the city centre, Broad Street through Salford and MediaCity-adjacent, and the major A57 that runs parallel to Deansgate, Oxford Road and Fairfield Street.

That local knowledge is further supported by our local network of officers, supervisors and security leadership professionals. All of our solutions, while centrally managed through our National Operations Centre, are provided by local professionals, ensuring that we understand the unique challenges posed by some of Manchester’s busiest hotspots, including retail security at The Arndale and Trafford Centre, Trafford Park’s intricate web of logistical powerhouses, and the inter-city rivalry between Manchester’s red and blue sides.

SIA Licensed Security Guards in Manchester

Our extensive footprint means we’re able to provide fully ACS-accredited security services across Manchester. That’s inclusive of dedicated, city-based teams who can deploy across a range of sectors, including construction (crucial for areas like Great Jackson Street and the Etihad Campus), retail (both independent and major), and hospitality (including Spinningfields and the Northern Quarter).

No matter your risk profile, sector or area of Manchester, ProFM are your trusted partner in protection.

Rapid-Response Security Patrols Across Manchester

Making expert use of Manchester’s interwoven network of roads, our mobile security operatives deploy across the M60 and M602 for rapid-acting services, alongside key thoroughfares like Stockport Road, Princess Road and Cheetham Hill Road through one of Manchester’s most recognisable areas. This positions us ideally to deliver expert industrial security around key areas like Stakehill and Sharston, as well as larger business parks and remote sites, to deter vandalism, theft and trespassing through both routine and ad-hoc patrols.

That extends to some of our more urgently demanded services like Waking Watch solutions, built for at-risk properties and defined by the rapid nature of the deployment.

Our NSI Gold-accredited installation packages and expert engineers provide full support, from initial site surveys to servicing and maintenance long into the future.

That’s all underpinned by our full SIA accreditation, and our National Operations Centre (NOC) that offers 24/7/365 monitoring of all cameras, alarms and intruder detection measures.

Frequently Asked Questions

In thStill unsure if we can deliver the Manchester security services you need? Here’s a selection of our most asked questions and concerns.

Still got a Question?

With the city’s emerging position as a rival to the capital for its business, fintech, and innovation sectors, corporate hotspots like Spinningfields and the emerging NOMA and Central Business District, corporate crime (such as theft, vandalism, and antisocial behaviour) are perhaps the region’s biggest pressure points, requiring a more refined approach to concierge security and overnight protection.

With that expansion also comes the threat to Manchester’s major construction areas, like Crown Street, Trinity Islands, and Red Bank – new builds and projects are at increased risk from trespassers, organised and opportunistic theft, and a range of liabilities due to the Occupier’s Liability Act. Security is essential, and construction and corporate industries demand a tailored solution.

We’ve got one of Manchester’s most rapid deployment rates, with our officers at your site in just 30 minutes on average, whether that’s for a false activation or a genuine threat. Outside of our extensive security presence, we’re also part of Manchester’s City Security Council (CSC), which positions us as a leader in the city’s security landscape.

We’ve supported businesses across a range of sectors, but in terms of notable names, we’ve supported businesses across Trafford Park, the Arndale (with our work with leading retailers JD Sports and Hotel Chocolat), and major suppliers and builders in Manchester’s thriving construction industry.

We do. Our extensive knowledge of Manchester’s road networks and its encircling M60 means we’re able to deploy rapidly in the event of an urgent security requirement. That’s any time of the day, too – our 24/7 National Operations Centre (NOC) means we can be on hand whenever you need us.

Yes. While Spinningfields offices and corporate premises all need that customer-facing presence, we’re starting to see that blended approach of expert security and customer service excellence translate to other sectors. We’re more than capable of delivering a hybrid service for some of Trafford Park’s industrial titans, technology innovators on the Oxford Road Corridor, and logistics experts in Stakehill.

All of our Manchester-based security officers are fully licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA), and have been screened and vetted in line with key BS:7858 guidelines by our trusted partner in the National Screening Agency (NSA). They’ll also receive regular course refreshers, additional training through our bespoke online platform, and opportunities for further development in leadership and supervisory roles.

ProFM security risks and crime statistics in Manchester

Revealing Manchester’s Risk Profile

  • Drug Crime Up By 17% Often a root cause for further crime, spiking rates of drug offences pose a threat to inner-city hospitality, retailers and corporate HQs.
  • Weapon Possession Rises By 13% With Trafford Park’s internationally recognised footprint and a rise in organised crime nationwide, statistics like this spark concern.
  • Emerging Tech = Emerging Targets While the Oxford Road Corridor buzzes with innovation, it’s also a prime target for organised thieves and corporate theft.
