SIA-licensed Security Guards & Mobile Patrols In Wakefield
Sit Wakefield on a map, and the reason for its logistics dominance is immediately obvious. The M1, M62 and A1 all converge here. The East Coast Main Line runs through it. Between 2013 and 2023, logistics and manufacturing accounted for over 50% of every new job created in the city. Amazon operates a 500,000 sq. ft fulfilment centre off Newmarket Lane. Phoenix Group’s 260,000 sq. ft distribution centre is at Wakefield Hub. Easy Bathroom’s 331,000 sq. ft national HQ is at Calder Park. The security demands at this scale aren’t something a generalist can provide. But ProFM’s professional security services in Yorkshire & the Humber can.
Along with this, Trinity Walk’s 60+ retail stores, the Westgate regeneration, and the hospitality economy in Castleford all generate their own security needs. ProFM Group ticks all the boxes. Every officer is SIA-licensed, BS:7858-vetted and coordinated through our National Operations Centre (NOC). We have the knowledge, the tools and the industry experience to protect your assets, events and more at the highest level.
NSI Gold-Accredited Security Technology & CCTV In Wakefield
The surveillance challenge in Wakefield isn’t just scale, though scale matters when you’re talking about hundreds of thousands of square feet of fulfilment centres – it’s also variety. A CCTV installation for a Trinity Walk retail unit, an access control system for a Westgate office, and a perimeter package for a Ferrybridge construction site are three different engineering briefs.
We hold NSI Gold accreditation across all installation and engineering work, Paxton Gold status for access controls and intruder alarm systems, and provide 24/7 monitoring through our NOC. Every project is built from the ground up.
Active construction across Wakefield (the Westgate regeneration, Ferrybridge development and Wakefield Hub’s expansion are all key examples) needs security technology that doesn’t wait for mains power. Our temporary security technology handles it: solar-powered CCTV towers, VPOD visually-verified intruder alarms, and AI-assisted ProEyez perimeter detection, all wirelessly connected with real-time NOC oversight.
SIA-Licensed Event Security In Wakefield
Wakefield’s events identity is more distinctive than you might expect. The Hepworth Gallery is one of the most visited contemporary art venues in the north. Wakefield Trinity’s rugby league fixtures at Belle Vue draw substantial crowds. The city centre events programme has grown with the Westgate regeneration. Castleford, Pontefract and the wider district add further activity.
All this falls under Martyn’s Law, which are essential new regulations that are set to be implemented from Spring of 2027. With ProFM Group, we handle the full range of compliance demands, as well as those ACT regulations, with the professionalism that 30 years in our industry affords us.
Our SIA-licensed event teams cover crowd management, conflict de-escalation and WAVE protocols, taking responsibility for the full operation planning through to stand-down. Plus, with specialist options in both DS-licensed officers (essential for alcohol service areas) and WAVE-trained professionals, we’re a one-stop shop for event security services.
What Security Services Do We Provide?
Security Guards
Uniformed, SIA-licensed security guards at fixed positions across logistics estates, retail locations, cultural venues and construction sites. Full BS:7858 vetting as standard.
Mobile Patrol Services
Large format sites, multi-building campuses and premises that need unpredictable patrol patterns are where our mobile patrol service earns its keep.
Alarm Response & Keyholding
Our alarm response and keyholding teams are SIA-licensed, locally stationed, and on their way before most companies have finished updating a callout sheet.
Concierge Officers
Security at a reception desk shouldn’t look like security at a warehouse gate. Our concierge security service provides licensed protection with a client-facing manner for corporate offices and professional premises.
Canine Handlers
Few deterrents match the immediate impact of a NASDU-accredited canine handling team, particularly across larger logistics and industrial sites where perimeter coverage is the priority.
Waking Watch Services
FSE and NFCC-compliant Waking Watch for high-rise residential buildings – available at short notice and operational 24 hours a day.
CCTV Installations & Monitoring
Designed around your site, installed to NSI Gold standards, monitored continuously. See our full range of CCTV installation and monitoring options for more info.
