Facilities Management Trusted By
As a premier security company providing security services in the South West, ProFM Group delivers comprehensive security solutions tailored to businesses, organisations, and individuals across Exeter. We’ve built a strong reputation for providing dependable and effective security services across a wide range of industries. Our bespoke approach ensures that every client receives a security plan specifically designed to meet their unique requirements.
ProFM Group’s SIA-licensed security guards and mobile patrol officers operate across the full scope of Exeter’s commercial footprint. That covers static guarding for the retail and hospitality operators at Princesshay and the Guildhall Shopping Centre, mobile patrols serving the logistics and distribution premises along the M5 and A30 corridors, and concierge-led services for corporate offices like those at Matford Business Park, Pynes Hill, and the growing cluster of technology firms at the Science Park.
Our National Operations Centre coordinates all deployments in real time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with an average officer-on-site response time of 30 minutes.
Whether it’s a permanent CCTV installation for a retail unit on Sidwell Street, an integrated access control and alarm system for commercial properties at Exeter Business Park, or a monitored surveillance network for industrial facilities on Marsh Barton Trading Estate, all security systems are built from your site plans and tailored to your unique risk profile.
While we may be known for the quality of our manned guarding, our technology-driven solutions meet the same high standards. All CCTV installation and engineering work carried out by ProFM in the Exeter area is certified to NSI Gold standards, with access control and intruder alarm systems accredited at Paxton Gold level. These are the security industry’s most rigorous quality benchmarks for electronic security, and they apply to every system we design and install.
Every installation operates as a standalone security solution or alongside manned guarding, with 24/7 monitoring through our National Operations Centre and alarm response backed by officer deployment.
If you have no fixed infrastructure, our solar CCTV towers, VPOD visually verified intruder alarm systems, and ProEyez AI-assisted perimeter detection connect to our NOC via worldwide SIM with rapid deployment available for urgent cover.
With over 30 years of expertise in event security, ProFM Group is equipped to manage gatherings of any size in Exeter. Whether you’re hosting a private celebration, charity gala, corporate function, or sporting event, our dedicated security team adapts their approach to meet and exceed your specific needs.
Our Exeter event security professionals are trained to handle a variety of responsibilities, including parking management, ticket checks, risk assessments, and emergency evacuation planning, with door supervisors able to handle alcohol serving areas and trained in the latest WAVE protocols. Every officer is fully licensed by the SIA and undergoes rigorous vetting, ensuring the highest level of professionalism and safety for your event.
With Martyn’s Law now in force, it’s becoming a legal requirement for stricter event security, with full compliance expected by qualifying venues by 2027. ProFM already operates to the higher standards expected under the new Law, and our event security services in Exeter reflect that commitment.
ProFM Group is a security company Exeter businesses have trusted for more than three decades, with an evolving level of services capable of handling any brief involving manned or technology-led security.
