GuardWatch Security UK Ltd: The Security Provider You Can Trust

Our Story...

Founded in 2009 in West Wales, GuardWatch Security began with a commitment to providing personal and tailored security solutions, initially securing a contract for gatehouse security at a local meat processing plant with 500 staff.

Over the past 14 years, we have grown significantly, expanding our operations to serve the largest food processing sites across the UK. In 2024, we further broadened our reach by taking on multiple food processing sites in Scotland.

Our dedication and expertise in the meat and cold storage industry have established us as leaders in this demanding sector. We proudly hold a place in Infologue's Top 100 Security Guard Companies and have earned Approved Contractor status from the SIA. Our commitment to excellence is demonstrated through our Accredited Training Centre status and our proactive response to emerging needs, such as our rapid deployment of security personnel to Covid-19 testing centres through a government contract.

At GuardWatch, we continue to stand out in the industry with innovative, specialised security solutions.
