Sectors

First Security specialises in this sector and offers what is probably the most sophisticated manned guarding security service available in the UK. Our mission is "to provide leading edge security for the people, the property and the liberty of major commercial, financial and professional institutions many of whom occupy 'landmark' buildings of international significance that cluster, primarily but not exclusively, in central London". Our service helps free our clients to focus on their business, secure in the knowledge that their physical assets, property and people, are in safe hands.

Shopping centres present particular challenges for security staff: from managing the public areas and the people who are using them, to the 'back of house' and 'service' areas, a range of approaches is required, from the helping the lost child, or the worried mother, to the more robust, but discreet, handling of disruptive or unruly behaviour. First Security has the skills and experience that secures a relaxed, safe, and welcoming atmosphere for visitors.

First Security provides security for VIP visits, corporate events and international art exhibitions, often in support of 'static guarding' teams on the sites of a client organisation who may be hosting the event. These high profile events, and prestigious venues, often attended by Royalty, government ministers and international celebrities, require the highest quality professional security and service. Our security teams help you meet those demanding requirements.

With the primary objective of maximising long-term value, managing a portfolio of properties brings its own demands. From the need to get up and running fast when business is won to minimising strategic, financial, operating, compliance and reputational risk whilst securing value for money, innovative services of the appropriate quality for your clients and having to answer for almost anything that happens on site, brings a very special set of challenges and First Security's experience, as witnessed by our long-established relationships with many of the UK's most famous property management companies, makes us first choice as partner for ensuring that you meet those obligations with minimum effort.

Retailers seek to create a uniquely satisfying shopping experience and First Security's task is to assist in achieving it whether it is supplying sophisticated merchandising and security hardware, installing and servicing it, or deploying security officers who will reflect retailer values whilst ensuring that their presence will complete the security 'picture' and discourage those who may wish to spoil that experience for others. The First Security team that is deployed to protect your store, your staff, your merchandise, and your customers, will do so with warmth, understanding and a welcoming smile whilst never losing sight of their prime objective which is the protection of your people and your property.

First Security provides security for a wide range of sporting and entertainment events, from premier league football matches, pop concerts and festivals, to battle re-enactments and carnivals. Working closely with the police, our teams provide searches, crowd ejection, and first aid and often find themselves working with as many as fifteen separate contractors, a situation that requires a high level of coordination, and good humour, to deliver a high quality service.
