ProFM Group’s Approach To Security For Yorkshire

ProFM Group are a leader in professional security, serving the Yorkshire and Humber area with local manned guarding and mobile patrol solutions. That’s all centrally coordinated by our National Operations Centre, with services in East Riding, North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, and Humberside (including Hull), delivered by locally-based officers and Operational teams, and tailored to your unique requirements.

Our Yorkshire security services combine deep local knowledge with rapid response times for alarms and genuine threats. Leveraging the region’s extensive road network – such as the M62 from Bradford, the M1, and the A19 from Doncaster – we provide intelligent routing across major Yorkshire cities, including Harrogate, Leeds, Sheffield, and York. From West Yorkshire industrial estates to North Yorkshire retail hubs, we bring exceptional local protection to your business.

Leading Yorkshire Guarding Services

An integral part of any protective solution, ProFM Group’s SIA-licensed security professionals offer that ultimate peace of mind and reassurance that only a manned security presence can offer. We take a bespoke approach to delivering that, too – all of our officers are based locally to ensure that they’re as committed to keeping your area safe as you are. They’re then centrally coordinated and deployed via our National Operations Centre (NOC) to both provide a hub for communications and to deliver the right solution to the right place, every time.

We go above and beyond, too, in that our Yorkshire teams are all specifically tailored to suit the challenges and risk profiles of Yorkshire’s diverse range of industries. From construction-based teams geared up for the obstacles facing key projects across the county, like the ongoing power project at Thorpe Marsh in Doncaster, to specialised corporate teams for Leeds’ economic powerhouses on Park Row and financial quarter, ProFM Group can be Yorkshire’s trusted partner in security.

Yorkshire Mobile Security Patrols

A counterpart to the more tried-and-tested static guarding, our mobile security patrols and teams offer that proactive and responsive presence that Yorkshire’s rolling Dales and long stretches of the A1(M) demand. With officers stationed along the length and breadth of the county (from inner-city Bradford to more remote towns like Northallerton and Bridlington), all coordinated centrally by our National Operations Centre (NOC), we deliver a service that’s built with Yorkshire in mind.

That NOC-based approach also means we’re able to take advantage of every route this historic county has to offer, with officers deployed along the A647 between Leeds and Bradford, the A61 through Harrogate, the A1237 and A64 that encircle York, and the scenic coastal route along the A165 that passes by Filey and Scarborough on its winding route from Hull. Plus, with locally-based officers able to take advantage of those hidden city-centre thoroughfares, we’re always on hand to help.

Rapid Alarm Response & Keyholding

While Yorkshire has enjoyed multi-million-pound investments and attracted some of the UK’s largest household names (like Asda House in Leeds, or Taylor’s Coffee in Harrogate), security can often be a bridge too far when it comes to budget. It doesn’t have to be, however, with our more affordable options for key holding and alarm response. Our in-depth network of operatives located across the Yorkshire area ensures you’ll benefit from our average response time of just 30 minutes – affordability shouldn’t come at the cost of professionalism, and we strive to deliver a service that combines the two with that signature level of ProFM Group quality.

Key holding, alarm response and lock and unlock services are also among our most versatile offerings, able to be tailored to a range of different properties, circumstances and areas. From early morning openings for a Wakefield-based industrial premises, to overnight alarm response for a retailer in inner-city Bradford, we’re able to adapt seamlessly to your schedule.

Yorkshire CCTV Security, Access Control & Alarms

A truly 21st Century approach to secure this historic county, our security technology options elevate the more traditional approach to site protection to an entirely new level. Our approach hinges on our Gold-level accreditation from the National Security Inspectorate (NSI), which certifies our installations and engineering quality to the highest possible level. That’s built on further with our National Operations Centre (NOC), which offers constant, uninterrupted monitoring and surveillance wherever you need it.

It’s that level of availability, combined with the latest innovations in AI augmentation and early-warning systems built for enhanced monitoring, that means we’re the ideal choice for some of Yorkshire’s most innovative hotspots. From digital and creative powerhouses at the Electric Works in Sheffield, to Leeds’ major employers in Channel 4 and Sky Betting, we’re at the forefront of our industries and can bring that to your business.

Managed Yorkshire Event Security

Yorkshire has one of the UK’s most diverse event landscapes, attracting millions to this leafy county. From internationally renowned music and comedy at Leeds Festival (now in its 27th year), to fringe celebrations like Whitby’s infamous Goth Weekend, right through to more culturally-grounded options in the Great Yorkshire Show that sees over 140,000 descend on historic Harrogate, event security is an absolute must-have. ProFM Group are at the forefront of that, delivering fully trained and licensed security professionals for events countywide.

That not only ensures that they’re able to deal with the scope and challenges of a modern event landscape (including key aspects like entrance protection, guest management, and bottleneck prevention), but that our National Operations Centre (NOC) can offer effortless and seamless scaling of your solutions. Couple that with an intimate knowledge of the changing laws around counter-terrorism at major venues, and it’s clear why ProFM Group are a smart choice for event security in Yorkshire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about how we’re able to deliver the right solutions for Yorkshire with our most-asked questions and answers.

Still got a Question?

As the neighbouring county to our National Operations Centre (NOC) and HQ in Lancashire, we’ve naturally been able to deliver bespoke security solutions for businesses across Yorkshire. Chief among these is our ongoing, multi-year partnership with SIKA, a global leader in building chemicals and products, at their sites in Leeds and Sherburn. We’ve also cultivated long-term bonds with household names like Vintage Cash Cow, Hotel Chocolat, Mersey Engineering, and the Harrogate Homeless Project.

Alongside that, we’ve also been privileged to support some of Yorkshire’s nationally-renowned events and celebrations, including Oughtifest in Sheffield, the R&A Golf Championship in Scarborough, and Tockwith District Council’s annual agricultural show.

Our extensive roster of security professionals across the Yorkshire area ensures we’re able to deliver an average response time of 30 minutes countywide. That locality, blended with our overarching National Operations Centre (NOC), ensures we’ve always got officers within reach, and that, even in the event of emergencies or sudden short-notice security requirements, you’re never far from the right solution.

Exceptional. Yorkshire’s growing investment portfolio and place as one of England’s most historic counties mean that an innovative approach to security is essential, and that’s exactly what we can bring with our CCTV packages. Here’s a brief overview of the tailored approach we take:

  • Comprehensive site analysis as an initial measure
  • Constant communication, support and discussion calls
  • NSI Gold-accredited installations by qualified, expert engineers
  • Routine servicing and maintenance plans
  • AI integration for advanced threat detection and early warnings of fire and other issues
  • Uninterrupted connectivity to, and round-the-clock monitoring from, our NOC

We’re also able to deliver a similarly robust approach to temporary CCTV towers. Our cutting-edge solar-powered tech offers superb detection for more remote areas (like energy projects across the Dales) without compromising on quality.

We only employ security professionals who are licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA), all of whom will have passed our strict screening and vetting process (in line with BS7858) before setting foot on your premises. As part of their SIA licensing and training process, they’ll also have training in emergency first aid at work, as well as key aspects of conflict management and de-escalation tactics.

They’ll also have access to our online library of in-depth, CPD-certified courses, with a curated selection of mandatory training every month designed around their specific duties and the site they secure.

As part of the extensive suite of security solutions we provide, we’re committed to supporting Yorkshire’s police forces in their latest initiatives, whether that’s York’s prominent issues with antisocial behaviour, or the spikes of criminal behaviour around the summer holidays in key seaside hotspots like Whitby and Scarborough. That’s best exemplified by our rapid response times regionwide and our specialist trained teams of officers.

While we don’t have a direct link to the region’s police forces, we’re also in constant contact with them as a point of escalation should it ever be needed.

Yes. As one of England’s most invested-in areas, the demand for a more specialised approach to security has only seen a rise. We’re more than able to deliver those more nuanced options, including:

  • Gatehouse and entrance security officers
  • Security concierges and corporate-attired officers
  • Close protection officers, offering 1-on-1, tailored protection
  • NASDU-accredited canine teams
  • Waking Watch and interim fire safety measures

That’s all designed with your business in mind, and built to develop alongside your commitments, your premises and your aspirations for growth.
