Trusted Protection in Collyhurst
Collyhurst is a residential and commercial district of Manchester, ringed by trading estates, retail parks and several city stations. Staffing that variety takes numbers. Of the 185 security workers in our network within 10 miles, 130 hold a current SIA licence and can take shifts, so a warehouse gate on Sudell Street, a store at Manchester Fort Shopping Park and a building site can all be covered from the same local pool, with GPS book-on at every post.

Because Greater Manchester Police's Police.uk returns are incomplete, this page leaves out crime figures for Collyhurst.

We offer an assessor's visit at no cost, a service we value at £250, covering access points, lighting, alarms, cameras and procedures through our 25-point risk checklist. You receive written findings and practical options, so decisions rest on your site rather than an incomplete statistic.
