Security guards in Cambridge, Ely & Newmarket

Security in Cambridge

Cambridge's economy is shaped by the university and the science and technology businesses that have grown up around it. Research parks and laboratory buildings ring the city, the biomedical campus in the south continues to expand, and new neighbourhoods are being built on the city's edges. That generates a lot of construction, fit-out and reception work. Outside the city, Ely is a cathedral market town, Newmarket is the centre of British horseracing with studs and training yards, Haverhill has industrial estates, and Saffron Walden is a historic market town close to the Essex border. The M11, A14 and A11 carry most of the traffic.

We have not yet logged completed work in this area, so every booking is arranged through local officers in our network and confirmed by the control room. Typical requests include front-of-house and reception cover for research and office buildings, overnight guarding of large housing schemes, and security for retail and student accommodation in the city. All officers are SIA licensed for the work they do and screened under BS 7858. The client app logs GPS clock-in, welfare check-calls and every occurrence. Research buildings often have their own access rules, so officers are briefed on restricted areas, escort requirements and out-of-hours procedures before taking over a desk.
