A jewel upon the banks of the Severn Estuary, Gloucester’s historic prowess is preserved today by the city’s Renaissance Cathedral, itself a major attraction, and the view down Westgate Street to St. Nicholas’ Church. But while modern Gloucester still retains those roots, security can’t remain in the past, and with ProFM Group, it doesn’t have to be.
We’re proud to deliver a truly Gloucester-centric solution to professional security, combining locally based and licensed guards with our National Operations Centre (NOC) to provide a solution that’s both grounded in this great city and built to exceptional standards. It ensures we’re able to deploy as effectively as possible across the city’s road networks, including the A38 that runs through Barnwood and Tuffley, the A430 past Gloucester’s Quays, the A40 and its Golden Valley Bypass, and city-centre routes like Trier Way, Royal Oak Road, and London Road.
The essential option for in-person protection for your business, ProFM Group have cultivated a reputation for the very best when it comes to manned guarding. Over the course of our 30 years in business, we’ve designed a solution that couples SIA-licensed security professionals who are local to the area and able to respond when you need them with our professional, centralised oversight in our National Operations Centre (NOC). It’s that experience that’s also meant we’ve built up a solid understanding of what makes Gloucester’s businesses tick, and how we can accommodate that in what we do.
Whether that’s in the more refined approach that’s needed for security at a prestigious property like the Oxtalls Campus or businesses along the revamped Docks, or the robust protection needed for the industrial premises at Indurent and Tritax Parks in Quedgeley, ProFM Group are the trusted partner in comprehensive, licensed protection.
So often a counterpart to the more traditional manned security presence, the truth is that the two can often work in harmony. Our solutions at ProFM Group are designed with that in mind, delivering industry-leading installations and engineering work that’s underpinned by the NSI Gold accreditation – a certificate of unparalleled quality in our industry. That’s also monitored 24/7 by our National Operations Centre (NOC) for ultimate peace of mind, and always by SIA-licensed CCTV professionals.
That sophisticated tech (which now incorporates the additional power of AI for advanced threat detection) is an ideal choice for some of Gloucester’s more established titans, like those at the Gloucester Business Park in Coopers Edge or at The Forum off Bruton Way. Plus, with scalability at its core, our solutions can seamlessly be adjusted to accommodate some of Gloucester’s budding enterprises, too, such as those just getting started at The Patch, or smaller retailers along King’s Walk or at Eastgate.
Mobility and responsiveness are essential traits for any security solution, and especially so in cities like Gloucester that have their own intricate road networks. Our intelligent approach sees us combine an extensive roster of locally-based security professionals who know and understand the issues Gloucester faces with our National Operations Centre (NOC) for comprehensive central coordination of all our officers.
Plus, with 24/7 availability and an average response time of just 30 minutes, mobile security presents an ideal choice for so many of the city’s more isolated businesses. Whether that’s the industrial sites at Brockworth or Quedgeley, or retailers as far out as Longford and towards Maisemore, ProFM Group are on hand to support around the clock.
Although Gloucester borders the ultra-affluent Cotswolds, the city itself is often referred to as more of a Comfortable Community rather than mirroring that wealth. It’s there that the need for a more budget-friendly security solution arises, and with our keyholding and alarm response packages, we’re able to deliver exactly that. It’s professional security at an affordable price that doesn’t compromise on quality or availability, with 24/7 service from our trained, SIA-licensed operatives, and a constant connection to our accredited National Operations Centre (NOC).
Keyholding, lock and unlock, and alarm response services are also an essential consideration given Gloucester’s growing reputation for smaller, more boutique businesses like those along Westgate, or on the financially-prominent Quays. Plus, with scalability as standard, we’re also able to adapt our services to suit some of Gloucester’s larger enterprises at the city’s Business Park at Brockworth, or the Barnwood Business Centre off the M5.
With an events scene built around the Docks and that imposing Cathedral, Gloucester’s schedule is punctuated by both culturally-significant celebrations (like the biennial Tall Ships Festival that sees masts and sails fill the dock lands skyline) and more contemporary concerts and performances (the Underground Festival is a major addition in recent years) at the Gloucester Guildhall. Event security is a prominent part of that – protection, guest guidance and conflict management all have their role to play, and ProFM Group deliver an extensive approach.
We tailor all of our packages to ensure that your event (from outdoor spectaculars along the Quays to concertos at the Cathedral) is protected exactly how it needs to be, and always with that professionalism that we’ve become known for. Plus, with fully SIA-licensed event security officers as standard, you can rest assured you’re receiving a service that’s as accredited as it is all-encompassing.

Still got a Question?All of our security professionals are fully licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) and will have passed ProFM’s strict screening and vetting verification checks before being permitted to secure your site. It’s part and parcel of ensuring we deliver the very best, and means that we’re able to offer officers who understand the importance of effective security in the Gloucester area, and who are committed to delivering those high standards day in, day out.
We also provide multiple, mandatory training courses every month, all of which are fully CPD-certified and tailored to suit the officer’s role and the requirements of the premises they secure. For instance, a retail security guard at King’s Walk or Eastgate might receive a module that discusses how to recognise the early warning signs of shoplifting.
On the same day, in the majority of circumstances. We understand the importance of a rapid response when the worst happens (damaged intruder alarms or access points, for example), and our extensive network of Gloucester-based security officers ensures we can have a manned security presence at your property on the same day, and usually within a few hours.
While our manned guarding solutions are the most popular option we provide, we’ve been quick to recognise that they’re not always the right choice. That’s where our catalogue of more specialist security professionals rises to the fore, offering those nuanced options for Gloucester’s unique risk profile. That includes:
Plus, with one of the most extensive rosters of security professionals in the Gloucester area, we’re able to adapt seamlessly to your requirements.
With Gloucester having its own proud history and a city centre that’s thriving, it’s natural that your first instinct would be to go with a local provider. ProFM Group may not be headquartered in the area, but we have one of the most comprehensive rosters of local, Gloucester-based security professionals, which are centrally coordinated by our sophisticated National Operations Centre (NOC).
We couple that with a huge suite of formal accreditations and certifications (including a spot as the UK’s #1 security provider for 5 years running), many of which local providers can’t match. Plus, with our nationwide scope, we’re the ideal choice for businesses that are looking to expand beyond the city.
We have an average response time of just 30 minutes across the city. We achieve that through a dual-pronged approach of an extensive network of highly-trained, Gloucester-based security operatives with our National Operations Centre (NOC), which ensures that we’re able to provide that 24/7 support from licensed, trained professionals.
We’re perhaps most known in Gloucester for our work with Buzz Bingo, securing their events at The Peel Centre off St. Ann’s Way. We also provide support for the utilities at Gloucester Services on the M5, and have previously worked in conjunction with the Royal Agricultural University in securing their campus.

A concern given the city’s closeness to the M5 and the A40, vehicle crimes (including thefts and violence involving vehicles) rose substantially.
Often a gateway crime, in how it can often lead to violent offences and criminal damage, Gloucester’s drug crimes are a major concern for hospitality venues.
While small businesses already face an uphill struggle, Gloucester’s rising rate of robbery presents a further hurdle.
