SIA-Licensed Security Guards & Mobile Patrols in Stoke-on-Trent

Stoke’s density of high-value manufacturing and logistics activity sets the baseline for what a Stoke-on-Trent security service needs to cover. With major names like Amazon and Jaguar Land Rover being attracted to the area by developments like the Ceramic Valley Enterprise Zone the risk profile of the city is changing quickly, meaning you need security services that can adapt and keep up.

ProFM Group deploys SIA-licensed security guards and mobile patrol officers across the full city footprint. Whether it’s static guards at the Potteries Shopping Centre and Trentham Shopping Village, mobile patrols across the CVEZ and Festival Park, concierge-led cover for corporate offices in Hanley, and specialist security for university campuses. Every officer is locally based, highly trained and vetted to BS7858 standard.

Our National Operations Centre coordinates all deployments in real time, 24/7/365, giving you an average officer-on-site response time across Stoke-on-Trent of just 30 minutes.

NSI Gold-Accredited CCTV & Technology-Led Security in Stoke-on-Trent

Stoke-on-Trent’s mix of established manufacturing sites, active development schemes, and high-footfall retail creates demand for security technology that works across very different environments. At ProFM Group, we deliver it across all of them. Each system we design starts from your site plans and is built around your actual risk profile, not a standard package.

All CCTV installation and engineering work is certified to NSI Gold standards, with access control and intruder alarm systems accredited at Paxton Gold level. Our National Operations Centre monitors every security system around the clock, with alarm activations answered by officer deployments rather than automated notifications. For permanent installations, that might mean a CCTV and access control package for a manufacturer within the CVEZ, monitored cameras for a retailer at Affinity Staffordshire, or an intruder alarm system for a logistics operator at Chatterley Park.

For construction sites and development projects where fixed infrastructure isn’t available, our solar CCTV towers, VPOD visually verified intruder alarm systems, and ProEyez AI-assisted perimeter detection are fully autonomous, connect to our NOC via worldwide SIM, and are ready to deploy at short notice.

Licensed Event Security in Stoke-on-Trent

With Martyn’s Law now on the statute books and qualifying venues required to comply by 2027, the requirement for SIA-licensed event security has never been more clearly defined. ProFM’s event security operation has always worked to these higher standards.

Our approach covers your full event cycle from initial risk assessment and bespoke security planning, ticket verification, bag checks, crowd management, car park control, and post-event demobilisation.

If your event includes alcohol, our teams include WAVE (Welfare and Vulnerability Engagement) trained officers and door supervisors qualified to manage alcohol service areas. We’re also adaptable to fast changing scenarios and can scale officer numbers at short notice to match actual attendance numbers or an increased risk profile on the day of your event.

Whatever your event security needs, we have the ability to help, whether we’re covering historic venues like The Grade II listed Victoria Hall or The Big Feast food festival and the large crowds it draws to Hanley’s city centre.
