The South East is the UK’s second-largest regional economy – and its security requirements reflect its status. The Port of Southampton is the UK’s leading cruise terminal and one of its most significant vehicle import and export hubs. The Farnborough aerospace corridor is home to BAE Systems and MBDA, two of the country’s most critical defence manufacturers. The M4 technology corridor links Reading’s global tech and pharmaceutical businesses to Oxford’s world-renowned research economy. Kent’s agricultural heartland, coastal tourism, and a construction sector under pressure from one of the UK’s fastest-growing populations complete a security landscape of exceptional breadth. ProFM Group delivers static guarding and mobile patrol solutions built around all of it across the South East.
Covering a region that stretches from the Thames Valley to the English Channel and from the Kentish coast to the Hampshire countryside, our locally based officers bring first-hand knowledge of the South East’s distinct risk environments to every deployment. Every officer is SIA-licensed and BS:7858-vetted, coordinated 24/7 through our National Operations Centre (NOC), ensuring a consistent response from Guildford to Gatwick and Canterbury to the Solent.
Popular Areas We Also Cover In The South East
The South East’s economic diversity – spanning pharma campuses, defence facilities, busy ports and high-value retail – demands security technology with the flexibility to match. ProFM Group hold NSI Gold accreditation across all installation and engineering work, with Paxton Gold status for access controls and intruder alarm systems, backed by 24/7 monitoring through our NOC. Every system is purpose-built – whether that’s a bespoke CCTV installation for a logistics operation near Basingstoke, an access control overhaul for a tech campus in Guildford, or a surveillance package for a retail development in Maidstone.
For the region’s construction sites, agricultural premises and more isolated rural and coastal locations, our temporary security technology delivers full monitoring capability without a fixed power source. Solar-powered CCTV towers, VPOD visually-verified intruder alarms and AI-assisted ProEyez smart perimeter detection connect wirelessly via a worldwide SIM for unfettered real-time alerts, wherever in the South East you’re located.
The South East hosts a diverse and high-profile events calendar. From the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Epsom Derby to international cricket at Canterbury and major concerts across Surrey, Kent, and Hampshire, the region’s events span an exceptionally wide range of crowd profiles and venue types. With Martyn’s Law now enshrined in legislation, the standard of security planning expected of organisers has risen quickly – and ProFM Group are ideally positioned to ensure every event meets it.
Our SIA-licensed event security teams are trained in crowd management, conflict de-escalation and WAVE (Welfare & Vulnerability Engagement) protocols. From the earliest planning stages through to post-event demobilisation, we deliver risk assessments, operational security plans, access control, ticketing, perimeter security, door supervision and emergency response – all under one provider.
Fully SIA-licensed and BS:7858-vetted, our static security guards provide a commanding visible presence across the South East’s retail, corporate, defence and industrial sites.
Our mobile patrol officers cover larger, more complex sites with proactive and reactive patrolling – from port perimeters and defence facilities to rural estates and out-of-town retail parks.
An affordable, SIA-licensed first response for the South East’s businesses – giving SMEs and independents access to the same quality of rapid, professional response as our largest clients. Find out more about our alarm response and keyholding services.

ProFM have taken over the CCTV monitoring for 12 of our locations. The team have handled the process smoothly and efficiently, and we are confident that we are in safe hands. There has been consistent communication between us and the National Operations Centre, and they have taken a lot of the pain away from us and our team.
