RAPID RESPONSE SECURITY
Northampton Security Guard Deployment
Northamptonshire faces significant security challenges. With a crime rate 42% higher than the national average and shoplifting rates 2.24 times the UK norm, businesses here need security partners who understand local risks and can respond quickly to emerging threats.
The county recorded over 2,700 shoplifting incidents in the past year alone, with rates increasing by 74% over the last three years. Northampton itself has the highest crime concentration in the county, making professional security services essential for businesses of all sizes.
Our strategic positioning enables rapid response across Northampton, Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, Daventry, and all surrounding areas. When you need security personnel, we deploy SIA-licensed officers quickly and efficiently.

Security Services in Northampton and Northamptonshire
Retail Security
Northampton's retail landscape spans the historic Market Square—one of Britain's largest—to the modern Grosvenor Centre and Market Walk shopping centres, plus major retail parks at Sixfields, Weston Favell, and Riverside. With shoplifting rates more than double the national average and continuing to rise, retailers need visible security presence that deters theft whilst maintaining a welcoming atmosphere for genuine customers.
Our retail security officers work with independent traders on Abington Street, national chains in the shopping centres, and out-of-town retail parks throughout the county. We understand the balance between loss prevention and customer experience, providing professional security that protects your stock and staff without creating an intimidating environment.
Corporate Security
Northampton has established itself as a major business hub, home to headquarters and regional offices for companies including Barclaycard, Nationwide Building Society, Travis Perkins, and Carlsberg. The town's excellent transport links—positioned on the M1 with easy access to the M6—have attracted major employers across finance, distribution, and manufacturing sectors.
Our corporate security services include reception security, access control, out-of-hours patrols, and executive protection. From the business parks around Junction 15 to office complexes in the town centre, we provide professional front-of-house security that reflects your company's image whilst maintaining rigorous protection standards.
Warehouse and Logistics Security
Northamptonshire sits within the East Midlands 'Golden Triangle for Logistics'—the UK's premier distribution hub where the number of warehouse and logistics properties has nearly doubled in the past decade. Major distribution centres for companies including Amazon, Coca-Cola, and countless third-party logistics providers require round-the-clock security protection.
Our warehouse security officers provide gatehouse control, perimeter patrols, loading bay supervision, and CCTV monitoring for logistics facilities across the county. With high-value goods moving through these sites continuously, we understand the critical importance of access control and inventory protection.
Construction Site Security
Northamptonshire continues to see substantial development activity, from major housing developments to commercial construction projects across the county. The expansion of towns like Corby and ongoing regeneration schemes create numerous active construction sites that require protection from theft of materials, plant, and fuel.
Our construction security officers provide comprehensive site protection including gatehouse control, perimeter patrols, CCTV monitoring, and overnight security. We work with building contractors throughout Northampton, Kettering, Wellingborough, and surrounding areas to secure sites of all sizes.
Event Security
Northamptonshire hosts diverse events throughout the year, from motorsport at Silverstone Circuit to concerts at Franklin's Gardens rugby ground, from corporate conferences to community festivals. The county's venues and outdoor spaces require professional security teams who can manage crowds, control access, and respond to incidents.
Our SIA-licensed door supervisors and event security teams handle crowd management, access control, VIP protection, and emergency response. We've secured events at venues including the Royal & Derngate theatre, Northampton Town Football Club, and countless corporate and private functions across the county.
Hotel and Hospitality Security
Northampton's hotels serve business travellers, tourists visiting historic attractions like 78 Derngate and the award-winning Cultural Quarter, and visitors to major events. From boutique properties to chain hotels, hospitality venues require security that maintains guest safety without compromising the welcoming atmosphere.
Our hospitality security officers are trained in customer service excellence, discreet protection, and managing the particular challenges of the night-time economy. We provide door supervisors, lobby security, and patrol services for hotels, restaurants, and bars throughout Northampton and the wider county.
Mobile Patrols
Our marked patrol vehicles conduct scheduled and random inspections of commercial premises throughout Northamptonshire. Mobile patrols offer cost-effective security for businesses with multiple sites, vacant properties, and premises that don't require permanent guarding.
Each patrol includes external and internal checks, with GPS-tracked reporting so you know exactly when your property has been visited. We cover the entire county from Northampton to Corby, Kettering to Daventry, Wellingborough to Towcester.

Understanding SIA Licensing
When you hire security services, it's essential to ensure every operative holds a valid SIA licence. The Security Industry Authority regulates the private security industry in the UK, and operating without proper licensing is a criminal offence that could expose your business to serious legal and insurance implications.
All Advance Guarding officers hold appropriate SIA licences for their roles, whether Security Guarding for static guards and retail security, or Door Supervision for event and hospitality security. We maintain rigorous records of all licence expiry dates and ensure renewals are completed well in advance.
You can verify any security operative's licence status using the official SIA Register of Licence Holders. We encourage our clients to check our officers' credentials—transparency is the foundation of trust between a security provider and their clients.
