Harrogate’s economy is a concentration of high-value activity that few towns can match. The Harrogate Convention Centre alone generates more than £45 million a year for the local economy. Alongside this, Cardale Park and Hornbeam Park host a range of businesses from financial services to manufacturers, while the Montpellier Quarter and Victoria Shopping Centre anchor a year-round retail and hospitality economy.
All this calls for Harrogate security services that can meet the ever-changing, complex demands of such a diverse and expansive economy.
Whether we’re deploying static security guards or mobile patrols around retail units along Cheltenham and Station Parade or the corporate offices at Cardale, or deploying temporary surveillance measures around the town’s active and vacant construction projects, we have a catalogue of professional services to match your needs.
And with locally based officers with expert knowledge of the town’s key transport route, including the A61 corridor and A59, backed by a 24/7/365 National Operations Centre, we’re able to provide a reliable officer on-site time of just 30 minutes in Harrogate, as well as our wider security services in Yorkshire.
Every technology-led solution we carry out is designed around your site plans and specific risk profile, whether we’re installing permanent solutions for town centre retailers, or access controls for the town’s corporate office blocks, or temporary solutions for construction and development sites.
All CCTV installations and engineering work we carry out in Harrogate are certified to NSI Gold standards, and access control and intruder alarm systems are accredited to Paxton Gold level. These are the highest security industry standards and are a testament to the high levels of service we provide to customers.
If your site has no fixed mains supply, or you need a temporary solution, our solar CCTV towers, VPOD intruder alarms and ProEyez AI detection systems all connect to our NOC through a worldwide SIM.
These temporary security solutions deploy at short notice and are well-suited to the construction projects around J47 of the A1(M) as well as the continuing redevelopment across Harrogate and Knaresborough.
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 (known more commonly as Martyn’s Law) has moved into law, and qualifying premises will need to comply with the higher standards by 2027. At ProFM, we’ve always worked to these standards that the Act now requires.
Our services are highly suited to a town like Harrogate, with its busy events and hospitality calendar drawing crowds from around the UK. The Great Yorkshire Show attracts 140,000 visitors a year, while the Harrogate Convention Centre’s auditorium is one of the largest purpose-built auditoriums in the UK outside London, meaning security services that are adaptable to fast-changing situations and capable of managing a diverse range of people.
All our event security officers hold up-to-date SIA licenses, and our senior team receive continuous training in crowd control and conflict resolution along with the latest WAVE practices.
For licensed events, our teams include door supervisors who are qualified to manage alcohol service areas with clear escalation routes to licensing, medical and public safety partners when needed.
You can be assured our event security services cover your entire event lifecycle from security strategy, bag checks and crowd management to demobilisation.
Choosing ProFM as your security provider in Harrogate means you’re working with a professional security company with local knowledge who builds every package around your site, sector and risk profile.
