Arguably, the most important aspect of professional security service in Manchester is visibility – deterrence and protection come from being able to see your solutions in action, and that’s something we’ve come to recognise over our 30-year history at ProFM Group. Our SIA-licensed security officers offer that reassurance, with options for both static guarding (best suited to retail hubs like the Arndale or Trafford Centre) and mobile patrols for larger premises.
As the self-proclaimed capital of the North West, professional security in Manchester needs to be adaptive, and with our tailormade solutions for the city’s diverse industries, we’re delivering exactly that. From a manned presence at the construction projects under Phase 3 of Crown Street to routinely scheduled patrolling designed for Trafford Park’s industrial giants, we pride ourselves on purpose-building your security services.
Every officer we deliver is fully licensed by the Security Industry Authority (as you’d expect from the UK’s security leader), and is based in the Manchester area to ensure that we’re always on hand when you need us. Whether it’s overnight manned security, mobile services or single-day static coverage, expect a consistent level of professionalism.
In modern Manchester, an equally modern security solution is an absolute must-have. That’s what ProFM Group offer with our extensive catalogue, and with our NSI Gold-accredited installation and engineering packages, we offer a concrete guarantee of excellence. It’s further underscored by our Paxton Gold certification (essential for access control systems) and underpinned by our 24/7 National Operations Centre (NOC), which offers constant, real-time monitoring.
Those accreditations allow us to deliver one of the industry’s most comprehensive approaches to CCTV installations, intruder alarms, and access controls, as well as a suite of temporary options that are designed for properties that can’t support integrated monitoring. We’re able to offer everything from single-camera installs (ideal for independent retailers and hospitality venues like those along Princess Street) to complex packages designed to suit even the city’s largest premises.
And while our temporary packages are best suited to sites without power (the St. Michael’s project and Mayfield renovation are two key examples), they never compromise on quality. No matter what you opt for, you’ll have access to our 30-minute average incident response time, round-the-clock NOC support, and an industry-leading approach to site protection.
A glittering hub for culture and celebration, security innovation and initiatives in Manchester have played a particularly pivotal role in changing legislation. With the pertinent introduction of Martyn’s Law (set for a full rollout by 2027), partnering with the right event security partner is essential, and ProFM Group’s forward-thinking approach sees us among the best security companies in that regard.
We offer fully SIA-licensed event protection services, including stewarding and supervisory services, as well as bespoke risk assessments and mitigation strategies for larger-scale celebrations (such as the newly introduced Live From Wythenshawe Park, or more established spots like the AO Arena or Manchester’s Academy venues). That’s soon to become mandatory with the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025.
Our approach extends across every aspect of your event, too, whether it’s entrance services (like ticketing and bag checks), crowd control, or specialist services like emergency first aid and conflict management. Plus, with a comprehensive Operational structure offering the always-available support you need, event security in Manchester is a breeze with ProFM Group.

Often a root cause for further crime, spiking rates of drug offences pose a threat to inner-city hospitality, retailers and corporate HQs.
With Trafford Park’s internationally recognised footprint and a rise in organised crime nationwide, statistics like this spark concern.
While the Oxford Road Corridor buzzes with innovation, it’s also a prime target for organised thieves and corporate theft.
