Security Services in Chichester
Retail Security
Chichester's retail scene stretches from the pedestrianised East Street and North Street at the heart of the city to the Chichester Gate Retail Park and the boutiques of the Cathedral Quarter. Our retail security officers provide a visible, professional deterrent against shoplifting and antisocial behaviour while maintaining a welcoming environment for genuine customers. We work with independent traders and major retailers throughout the city to reduce shrinkage and protect staff.
Corporate Security
Chichester supports a growing professional services and creative sector, with offices, business parks and studio spaces across the district. Our corporate security services cover reception security, access control, out-of-hours patrols and executive protection. Whether you operate from a city centre office or a business park on the outskirts of town, we provide professional front-of-house security that reflects your company's reputation.
Hotel and Hospitality Security
Chichester's proximity to Goodwood — host of the world-famous Festival of Speed, Glorious Goodwood and the Revival — generates significant hospitality demand throughout the year. Our hospitality security officers combine customer service excellence with discreet, professional protection. We provide door supervisors, lobby security and patrol services for hotels, restaurants and bars across the city and district.
Event Security
From sell-out seasons at Chichester Festival Theatre to Goodwood's motorsport and horseracing events, Chichester's event calendar is among the most prestigious in the South East. Our SIA-licensed door supervisors and event security teams handle crowd management, access control, VIP protection and emergency response. We have secured events at venues across Chichester and the surrounding district, including outdoor festivals and private corporate functions.
Construction Site Security
Chichester District continues to see substantial residential and commercial development, from new housing estates around Tangmere and Southbourne to commercial projects in the city itself. Construction sites are prime targets for theft of materials, plant and fuel. Our construction security officers provide gatehouse control, perimeter patrols, CCTV monitoring and overnight protection for building contractors working across Chichester District.
Mobile Patrols
Our marked patrol vehicles conduct scheduled and random inspections of commercial premises throughout Chichester and the wider district, covering Selsey, Bognor Regis, Midhurst, Petworth, East Wittering and beyond. Mobile patrols offer cost-effective security for businesses with multiple sites, vacant properties, and premises that don't require a full-time security presence. Each patrol is GPS-tracked with real-time reporting.
