Veritech has serviced our sites for several years, they have always demonstrated professionalism with a personal touch. Problems have never become a drama and a solution was always found. I recommend them highly.
Since changing our security systems over to Veritech we have been provided with a fantastic customer support network and have built a great working relationship with them. Their security systems work great in conjunction with our secure welfare units and temporary accommodation on a variety of different projects. Everyone at the company from those in the office to the engineers and security staff that visit our premises are extremely professional. Their response times have been second to none and we look forward to partnering with them for many more years
Veritech systems have provided our project with 24 hour security, CCTV and motion sensors and access control. The service that they have given has been exemplary, from the standard of guards through to emergency call outs. I would highly recommend their service and would have no hesitation with obtaining their services in the future.
On behalf of The Quality Leadership Group from Sir Robert McAlpine to all at Veritech Systems, please accept our congratulations. High Quality performance and good standards of workmanship are directly linked to the success of any project and I would be grateful if you would pass on this message of thanks to your team; In particular the operatives and supervisors at site level responsible for all the works.
Manned guarding services involve trained, licensed security officers providing a physical on-site presence to protect people, property, and assets. These services include access control, patrols, incident response, and emergency management, offering real-time protection that technology alone cannot provide.
A manned security guard deters crime, monitors premises, controls access, conducts patrols, responds to incidents, and reports security concerns. Guards are trained to assess risks, manage emergencies, and provide a visible, authoritative presence on site.
Manned guarding services and CCTV serve different purposes. While CCTV records and monitors activity, manned guards can intervene immediately, make judgement calls, de-escalate situations, and provide customer-facing support. Many sites benefit most from a combined manned guarding and CCTV solution.
Yes. In the UK, all professional manned guarding services must be delivered by SIA-licensed security officers. Licensing ensures guards meet legal requirements for training, vetting, and competency, providing reassurance and compliance for clients.
The cost of manned guarding services depends on factors such as site risk level, hours required, guard skill level, and location. Prices typically vary between static guarding, mobile patrols, and specialist roles. A site assessment is usually required to provide an accurate quote.
Manned guarding services are commonly used across industries including construction, retail, corporate offices, healthcare, education, hospitality, residential estates, and defence facilities. Any environment requiring visible security and rapid response can benefit from manned guarding.
Static guarding provides a continuous on-site security presence at a fixed location, while mobile patrols involve scheduled or random patrol visits across one or multiple sites. Static guards offer constant coverage, whereas mobile patrols are ideal for cost-effective perimeter protection.
Yes. Manned guarding services can operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Guards are often supported by a 24/7 control room to ensure continuous monitoring and rapid escalation when required.
Professional manned security guards receive training in emergency response, first aid, fire safety, evacuation procedures, and incident reporting. This ensures they can act quickly and effectively during medical emergencies, fires, or security incidents.
When choosing a manned guarding company, look for SIA licensing, proven experience, sector expertise, transparent procedures, and tailored service delivery. A reputable provider should offer site assessments, clear reporting, and 24/7 operational support.
