If you are planning for an event in Colchester, make sure that your security requirements are all met. We are extremely experienced in this industry and can offer a complete event security solution. We will check for tickets, manage the crowd, and protect VIPs, to name just a few options.
Are you a nightclub, wedding venue, conference centre, or any other type of venue in Colchester? Then we're more than happy to help you with your security needs. Our supervisors are SIA-licensed and know what it takes to make people feel welcome and safe.
Technology such as CCTV can be highly effective in deterring crime, but it is limited when used without manual security. We are delighted to be able to offer firms a highly effective manned guarding service to protect their business premises at all hours.
With our key holding service, we will safely store a spare set of keys to your business premises, preventing you from being locked out at any point. In the event of an alarm activation, our security team will be able to respond and access the premises immediately.
Transporting cash to and from locations can be a time-consuming and dangerous task. By choosing us for your cash in transit needs, you can ensure the safe and quick collection and delivery of cash. Our security firm has worked at car parks, shops, licensed premises and more.
Does your Colchester company require regular and on-going security? A vacant building, especially during the early morning hours, is vulnerable to criminal activity. Our mobile patrols will provide a quick and efficient security presence on the move.

— Lisa Cooper

— Katrina Robertson, Whitton Parish
"Kieran was the best front-of-house SIA security staff member we have worked with for years. He was attentive in what was going on, helpful and approachable with the customers. The little jobs I often have to remind staff to do just happened without prompt, he wasn't in a rush to leave for his later job, and he wasn't constantly on his phone in front of the customers."
— Shaun Whymark, Ipswich Regent Theatre

Thank you once again."
— Michael Marriott, Stowmarket Town Council

The Ipswich Maritime Festival is an annual event which takes place over the August bank holiday weekend. There are also opportunities to watch the arrival of spectacular sailing yachts, to sample local art and to enjoy maritime-themed markets. The festival organisers appointed us to develop a local security plan and to provide stewards on the day to help ensure the safety of all participants.
Clacton Air Show is an annual event held between Clacton Pier and the Martello Tower. Typically, the two-day event attracts audiences of around 200,000.
