Healthcare

Our security teams are experienced in providing a welcoming, safe and accessible environment for patients, visitors and staff in hospitals, clinics and retirement homes. We understand the importance of protecting buildings and equipment from theft and vandalism, and have worked with both government and privately funded healthcare facilities, including labs, GP surgeries, and clinics, to ensure the best possible service.
