Food Industry Security

At GuardWatch Security, we understand the integrity of your facility begins with the people protecting it.

GuardWatch Security UK Limited is a leading security provider for the UK’s food processing industry, guarding top companies such as Dunbia, ABP, Sofina Foods and many more.

Our specialised services, recruitment process, and tailored security protocols ensure your food facility is protected against threats while maintaining top safety and compliance standards.

Animal Welfare Checks

At GuardWatch Security, we recognise the critical importance of maintaining animal welfare standards within your food processing facility.

Our guards receive specialised training in animal welfare, allowing them to conduct thorough checks and document their findings to your team. This ensures transparency and reinforces your facility’s commitment to ethical practices.

Proactive Protest Management

With years of experience in managing protests unique to the food industry and animal rights, GuardWatch Security is prepared to handle any disruptions that could impact your operations or reputation.

We monitor protestor activity and develop detailed guides with up-to-date strategies for managing protestors, ensuring the safety of your facility and personnel.

During high-risk periods, we can provide additional guards to bolster your site’s security.

Temperature & Cold Storage Monitoring

In the food processing industry, maintaining the integrity of temperature-sensitive products is crucial.

Our guards are trained to conduct regular temperature checks and promptly report any deviations from set parameters. This monitoring safeguards your cold storage operations, preventing product loss and ensuring that your products, whether destined for M&S, Tesco, or other major suppliers, remain within required tolerances and are ready for distribution.

Paperwork

Ensuring proper documentation is crucial for compliance and safety in your facility.

At GuardWatch Security, we manage and verify essential paperwork, including:

  • CAT Paperwork

  • Vehicle Disinfectant Paperwork

  • Livestock Paperwork

Our guards also oversee the livestock unloading process to ensure all procedures are followed.

Our thorough paperwork checks help prevent contamination, support traceability, and ensure regulatory compliance.

Site Security Audit & Penetration

Ensuring the highest level of safety and security starts with preparation and vetting.

Before deploying our team, GuardWatch Security conducts a comprehensive Security Audit of your site. This includes a perimeter check, verification that all access points are secure, and a full security evaluation to identify necessary improvements. We can also conduct site penetrations to identify weak spots.

Our recruitment process ensures the most reliable personnel are assigned to your site. We screen out potential threats, including protestors, and conduct industry-specific vetting to confirm suitability for food processing environments.

Auditor Control

Managing access for auditors is crucial to maintaining the security of your facility.

At GuardWatch Security, we are adept at handling the challenges posed by unannounced auditors. We understand the importance of a strict protocol to manage their access within the required timeframe. Our system ensures auditors are always properly greeted and never granted entry to your site without an escort.

By enforcing such access control measures, we protect your site from unauthorised access and maintain a secure environment, ensuring all auditors adhere to the proper procedures and protocols.

Drone Surveillance

Our staff are trained to handle "internet auditors," such as DJ Audits, who may approach your site with drones.

GuardWatch Security guards are well-versed in the relevant laws and regulations regarding drone use and are prepared to manage these situations effectively. We are equipped with the knowledge and skills to address conflict and ensure any unauthorised surveillance or disruptions are dealt with swiftly and professionally, protecting your facility’s security.
