Challenge

As one of the UK’s busiest logistics networks, the client’s facilities handle thousands of vehicles and personnel movements daily. Each site houses high-value, fast-moving stock and requires constant vigilance to deter theft, maintain health and safety compliance, and safeguard around-the-clock operations.

Key challenges included:

• Managing large-scale vehicle and personnel access.
• Maintaining security without disrupting logistics flow.
• Protecting valuable, easily concealable goods.
• Coordinating safety and emergency responses across vast warehouse footprints.

Our strategic deployment included:

• 24/7 manned guarding with dynamic patrol coverage.
• Access control management for all employees, contractors, and visitors.
• CCTV and control room monitoring with real-time reporting.
• Perimeter and warehouse patrols, including vulnerable zone coverage.
• PPE and health & safety compliance enforcement.
• Lone worker monitoring and emergency response coordination.
• Goods-in/goods-out supervision for asset protection.

By integrating digital reporting tools and live communication systems, our officers ensured that every safety concern, incident, or maintenance issue was logged and addressed immediately.
