Facilities Management Trusted By
One of the industrial titans of the North West’s past, Wigan’s present deserves an equally industrious security solution. We’re able to deliver that at ProFM Group, combining a unique sense of that local pride in our expertly-trained, Wigan-based security officers with comprehensive and expert-driven oversight and coordination from our National Operations Centre (NOC). That ensures that we’re not just able to deploy across Wigan’s arterial roads in the M6, A49 through Standish and into Ince, and the A577 from Orrell to Leigh, but that we truly care about keeping the town protected.
It’s a system we deploy to exceptional effect, taking the time to embed ourselves in the challenges and obstacles that come with securing a town that’s as well-established and historic as Wigan is. But whether you’re looking to secure a construction project at Eckersley Mills or the Galleries, a major industrial spot in Kitt Green, or a budding retail premises along Standishgate, ProFM can be your trusted partner.
We take a tailored approach to security in the Wigan area, deploying locally-based security officers and operational teams to ensure we understand the challenges you face, the risks specific to your property, and how we can work in partnership. All of our officers are fully SIA-licensed for peace of mind and comprehensive training.
That’s all overseen by our National Operations Centre, with specialised teams on hand to offer comprehensive protection for some of Wigan’s most in-demand areas. That includes officers trained to secure retailers like those at Robin Park or the Grand Arcade, corporate offices by the Wigan Investment Centre on the canal banks, or logistical powerhouses at places like the Big Box or Parkside.
With Wigan attracting a slew of retailers and hospitality venues since the Grand Arcade opened in 2007, affordable yet professional security measures have taken on an additional level of importance. Our key holding, alarm response, and lock and unlock packages deliver exactly that, coupling a budget-friendly price point with fully SIA-licensed solutions for full peace of mind. Our solutions don’t compromise on availability, either with our full key holding and alarm response catalogue available 24/7/365.
From the smaller businesses that occupy a spot along historic Makinson Arcade or Royal Arcade, to manufacturers and innovators who rub shoulders with The Brick Community Stadium across the River Douglas, we’ve designed solutions to suit businesses Wigan-wide.
Built on the strengths of modern surveillance and monitoring, ProFM Group’s approach to CCTV and security technology solutions combines the very latest innovations (such as AI-assisted threat detection) with our NSI Gold accreditation – the hallmark of expert engineering, system quality and installation services. That’s all supported by our National Operations Centre (NOC), which monitors all of the cameras under our protection 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
It’s that sophisticated approach and firm accreditation that places us in an ideal place to offer security for some of Wigan’s most commercially active areas, such as the Westwood Park development near the train tracks, the Pier Quarter and Trencherfield Mill which have undergone significant renovation, and key routes through the town centre like Library Street past the Wigan Life Centre, Wigan Museum, and the council offices.
A counterpart to more static security options, our mobile patrols are the epitome of swift and effective security for the Wigan area. Centrally coordinated through our National Operations Centre (NOC), and grounded in the expertise of our officers who are local to Wigan themselves, we utilise every route in and out of the town, from the more well-known routes along the A-roads to intimate knowledge of navigation around the town centre through Wallgate, Caroline Street, Wigan Lane by the infirmary, and Bridgeman Terrace that bypasses Wigan’s park.
That’s all underpinned by our average response time of just 30 minutes, and a fully bespoke approach to mobile security that sees us fit our officer schedules and approach around your key pressure points and operating hours.
Renowned as a rugby town, Wigan’s sporting prowess often overshadows many of the other events that characterise the town’s cultural melting pot. But whether it’s the town’s affinity for Chinese New Year, live music and shows at The Boulevard or the Pier, or exhibitions at the Wigan Life Museum, a professional security solution is essential. That’s exactly what we deliver at ProFM Group, with fully licensed and trained event security officers, bespoke planning, and safety plans.
For any event – whether it’s the Haigh Parkrun or archaeological digs in Aspull – we can deliver comprehensive solutions for ticketing and access control, guest flow and management, safety protocols where alcohol is served, and a smooth exit at the end of the night.

Still got a Question?We’ve worked with multiple major companies and events across the Wigan area, including the infamous Wigan Diggers Festival that celebrates the town’s proud coal mining heritage, and multiple events for the West Lancashire Borough Council. We also have an active partnership with Snuggledown, one of the area’s larger distributors of duvets and pillows.
We can. We’d always recommend booking your security needs in advance to avoid disappointment, but we know that last-minute needs can and do arise (trespassing issues at the construction project on the site of the Galleries, for instance). In that scenario, we can react rapidly, delivering a tailored security solution on the same day in most circumstances.
For any incident at your site, our average officer-on-site time is 30 minutes. That’s consistent across any of the services we deliver, including our key holding and alarm response services (ideal for smaller properties and retailers on the outskirts of town), and mobile security across Wigan’s major industrial estates like those around the Heinz factory.
Yes. All of the canine officers we provide are fully accredited to Gold level by the National Association of Security Dog Users (NASDU), and are fully self-sufficient, making them ideal for more remote properties or those on Wigan’s outskirts, like those in Gathurst or towards the outskirts of Ince.
With both Wigan’s past and present heavily grounded in industry and manufacturing (the Heinz Factory at Kitt Green is the largest food processing facility in Europe, for example), we know how crucial it is to provide the right solutions for an integral part of the local economy. With that in mind, we can deliver:
We’re also able to package those as a single service, all housed under the ProFM Group banner, which not only helps centralise your point of contact, but shave down costs and liabilities, too.
Every security officer we provide is fully licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA), and has comfortably passed our strict, 5-year screening and vetting process through our partner in the National Screening Agency (NSA). That training also equips our officers with emergency first aid training, counter-terrorism expertise, and a wider knowledge of the developing security landscape. We go beyond that, though, providing our officers with site-specific training courses through our bespoke online platform and key insights from our locally-based Operational teams.
