How We Deliver Expert West Midlands Security

ProFM are an industry leader in professional security solutions, serving the entire West Midlands with accredited security guarding and mobile patrols. Our services are all delivered by locally-based officers and management teams, while operating across all counties including Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire coordinated centrally through our National Operations Centre.

Strategically located near the region’s major arterial networks – including the M6 and its Toll, M5 past Wolverhampton, and Tamworth’s A5 – our teams are centrally coordinated to ensure fast, efficient delivery. Whether you’re in the heart of Birmingham or the outskirts of rural Worcester, our local presence allows us to provide a tailored service that larger, national providers can’t match.

Popular Areas We Also Cover In The West Midlands

Leading West Midlands Guarding Services

One of the most sought-after options for security in the West Midlands, our security officers are experts in their field, with full SIA licensing and thorough background checks before they’re deployed to your site. We take a unique approach, combining those locally-based officers (whether that’s for Wolverhampton retailers, logistics titans at Tamworth, or hospitality in Hereford) with our National Operations Centre (NOC) for comprehensive oversight and centralised coordination.

Beyond that, we’re able to deliver assembled, specialist teams to address some of the key pressure points for businesses across the West Midlands. Whether that’s gatehouse and mobile patrolling packages for the massive distribution and shipping hubs in the Golden Triangle, covert store detectives and retail security for places like the Bullring and Merry Hill, or the nitty-gritty of overnight protection at key construction infrastructure for Frasers Campus in Coventry, we have the solutions you’re looking for.

West Midlands CCTV Security, Access Control & Alarms

Security technology has experienced a substantial renaissance in recent years, going from grainy imagery to AI-assisted surveillance and round-the-clock manned monitoring. We’re at the crest of that wave, delivering exceptional solutions for CCTV, access controls and intruder alarms in the West Midlands. That’s built on firm foundations – NSI Gold-accredited installations and engineering are supported by our sophisticated National Operations Centre (NOC), which offers comprehensive, 24/7 monitoring for all installations we complete.

With packages tailored to suit the West Midlands’ key industries, like aerospace engineering and advanced manufacturing, and dedicated installation calendars for some of the region’s biggest corporate and commercial hotspots (H2’s ongoing build, logistics at Birch Coppice, and the Prologis Park in Coventry all spring to mind), ProFM Group are the clear choice for CCTV designed with the West Midlands in mind.

Rapid Alarm Response & Keyholding

Although the West Midlands has seen substantial investment in recent years, with the region seeing £20billion across places like the West Midlands Investment Zone and Birmingham’s Knowledge Quarter, the budget isn’t always there for security. That’s where our cost-effective solutions for alarm response, key holding and lock and unlock services come to the fore, offering the Midlands an affordable solution for professional security that never compromises on quality or availability.

It’s perhaps best suited to some of the region’s multitude of advanced engineering and eco-tech start-ups, attracted by the prospects and ongoing funding the area has seen, whether that’s in automotive engineering in Solihull, fintech spurred on by Wesleyan’s HQ in Birmingham, or part of the growing environmental bubble in Coventry.

West Midlands Mobile Security Patrols

While static security plays a crucial role in securing the West Midlands, it’s equally true that the region is among the UK’s largest, with long expanses of major motorways like the M6 and its Toll around Birmingham, the M40 and M42 that offer two sides to that major logistics triangle, and the M54 towards Wolverhampton. We’ve been quick to recognise that, providing locally-based officers for all premises we secure, with comprehensive coordination from our National Operations Centre (NOC) to ensure that we’re delivering a mobile security service that’s built for this historic region of the UK.

Plus, with an average response time of just 30 minutes and 24/7 availability, 365 days a year, you’re never far from the ideal solution to mobile security in the West Midlands.

Managed West Midlands Event Security

A region as historic as the West Midlands and the Black Country naturally has an events scene that matches that. While it’s now far more modern in its scope, largely thanks to venues like Birmingham’s NEC and West Mid Showground, there are substantial links to the region’s history in events in the nationally renowned Shrewsbury Folk Festival and exhibits at the Living Museum. That blend of heritage and modernity requires a security solution that’s built on equally firm foundations, and with our fully SIA-licensed solutions, ProFM Group deliver exactly that.

Our bespoke packages are scaled to suit your event, whether that’s in delivering full ticketing services and entrance protection for festivals like Sandwell’s Mela and the Godiva Festival in Coventry, or guest flow management and control for congested spots at the NEC. Plus, with robust teams that encompass supervisors, stewarding, and comprehensive planning and risk assessment, you’re in safe hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still unsure about how we can support with security in the West Midlands? Here’s a quick selection of our most-asked queries.

Still got a Question?

We do. We’d always advise planning security well in advance, but we know that emergencies and disappointments can and do happen. Our extensive network of fully qualified security personnel means we’re able to provide rapid and effective solutions, with manned protection available on the same day in most circumstances. We’ve previously supported in the West Midlands when alarm systems have failed, shutters have broken, or other providers have fallen short and we’ve stepped up.

All of the security officers we provide are fully licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) and have passed a strict, BS7858-compliant screening and vetting process. As part of that licensing process, they’ll also have received an emergency first aid certificate and extensive training in conflict management and de-escalation techniques. 

We take that another step further, with mandatory training courses for all officers. These are delivered online through our bespoke training platform, and are specific to both the site they work on and the duties they complete. For example, a concierge officer working in inner-city Birmingham will receive training in customer service-related topics.

With the West Midlands grounded in its logistics scene, and substantial interest and capital in the area coming from major players like Amazon and UPS, a bespoke solution for security is an essential consideration. We deliver exceptional protection in that regard, including solutions for:

  • Tactical static guarding at key loading points and goods-in and -out facilities
  • Gatehouse coverage, including barrier control and on-site CCTV monitoring
  • Routine and ad-hoc mobile patrols with RFID tag scanning for accurate recording
  • Concierge officers who combine customer service with expert licensed protection
  • Induction processes, body scans and comprehensive vehicle checking
  • Mail services, telephone call fielding, and other minor duties
  • CCTV packages, strategically designed for maximum coverage and minimal blind spots
  • Intruder alarms and rapid-response alarm monitoring

All of those solutions are fully flexible and designed to suit your unique demands. What remains consistent, though, is that ProFM Group structures our solutions around you to ensure a service that’s as robust as it is personalised.

The West Midlands as a whole is one of our most prolific areas, which is best reflected by some of our larger, blue-chip clients. We currently provide a round-the-clock manned security solution for both Lloyd’s Transport and Moonpig’s major facilities in Tamworth, and comprehensive concierge security and overnight protection for MedExpress in Royal Leamington Spa.

We’ve also historically worked with some of the area’s most renowned enterprises, including Babcock Mission Critical in Walsall, Hotel Chocolat, and multiple large-scale events. Outside of that, we actively secure over 100 properties across the West Midlands, equating to an estimated £7.2 million worth of assets.

Yes. One of the most impactful criminal deterrents on the market, and an ideal solution if you’ve experienced previous criminal activity, or you’re a more isolated property in somewhere like the Shropshire Hills, our canine handlers are second to none. They’re fully accredited to NASDU Level 2 as a minimum, and have extensive experience in both handling their canine companion and in securing premises across the West Midlands. We’d recommend them for places that have strong transport links but could be a problem area, like the business parks off Junction 10 of the M42.

Our average response time across the West Midlands is 30 minutes. That means that, from the moment an alarm is triggered or an intruder is detected, we’ll have an officer at your site in around 30 minutes on average. From there, we’ll be able to deliver the right solution, whether that’s addressing the issue directly (a malfunctioning alarm, for example), challenging an intruder, or contacting the emergency services.

ProFM security risks and crime statistics in the West Midlands

The Key Risks Facing The West Midlands

  • Shoplifting Up By 18% With major retailers laying roots in the West Midlands’ major cities, a pronounced rise in shoplifting is a massive pressure point.
  • Slowing The Wheels Of Progress While the West Midlands is renowned for its advanced manufacturing, that places it at an increased risk from organised criminals and syndicates.
  • Drug Offences Rise By 16% A “gateway” offence in many senses, rising rates of drug crime could point towards further issues with violence, theft and criminal damage.
