The South West contributes over £140 billion to the UK economy annually, with Bristol alone accounting for more than a third of the region’s economic output. Add the aerospace and defence manufacturing corridor from Filton to Yeovil, a tourism economy that brings over 20 million overnight visits a year, and logistics networks running along the M4, M5 and A303, and the scale of professional security cover this region requires becomes clear.
ProFM Group’s security guards and mobile patrol services deploy across the South West’s entire, varied geography. From security guards for retail operators in Cabot Circus and the Southgate shopping centre in Bath, mobile security patrols for logistics and distribution premises along the M5 corridor between Bristol and Exeter, and concierge-led security for the corporate offices at Temple Quarter and the Bristol & Bath Science Park. For businesses in our key South West locations, we also provide city-specific security services in Bristol, Bath, Exeter, Bournemouth and Gloucester.
Every security officer deployed in the South West is based local to their area. They’re licensed by the Security Industry Authority, vetted to the security industry’s highest BS:7858 standard and coordinated 24/7 from our National Operations Centre with an average response time of just 30 minutes anywhere in the South West.
Each security technology system we design and install for clients around the South West is built from your site plans and risk profile, and can operate as a standalone security solution with officer deployments, or alongside manned security guards.
We’ve invested heavily in our CCTV surveillance packages, and this is reflected in our accreditations. All CCTV installation work carried out in the South West is certified to NSI Gold standards. Access control and intruder alarm systems are accredited at Paxton Gold level.
These benchmarks are the most rigorous in the security industry and apply across every technology package we deliver, whether that’s a permanent multi-camera system for a retail unit on Exeter High Street or a standalone CCTV monitoring solution for a warehouse on the outskirts of Gloucester.
We also provide temporary installations where fixed power and infrastructure are not available. Our solar CCTV towers, VPOD alarm systems and ProEyez AI-assisted perimeter detection connect to our NOC through a worldwide SIM and deploy at short notice across the South West region.
The South West’s event calendar is a wide and varied programme, attracting thousands of people and millions of pounds a year for the region. From Glastonbury Festival, Bristol Harbour Festival and venues like Exeter Northcott Theatre and Bournemouth International Centre, event security services must be adaptable to a range of event risk profiles.
And with Martyn’s Law now passed into law and bringing much stricter requirements on qualifying venues, which must show compliance with the new regulations by 2027, there is a stronger demand for professional, licensed event security.
ProFM Group has always operated to the standard the Act now requires, and our event security services across the South West reflect that.
Our deployments cover your event’s lifecycle from start to finish. We start with the initial planning and operate through to the post-event demobilisation. On the day, our officers can cover ticket verification, bag searches, crowd management and car park control.
For private or licensed events, our officers and supervisory teams receive ongoing training, including WAVE requirements and are qualified to manage alcohol service areas. If your plans change, even on the day of your event, we’re able to adapt our services quickly to match your risk profile.
