Our Business Keyholding Service in the East Midlands

The East Midlands sits at the heart of the UK's logistics network, with distribution parks along the M1 and around East Midlands Airport, alongside the city centres of Nottingham, Derby, Leicester and Lincoln. Locally we support small and medium businesses that want a professional to deal with alarms and emergencies, at distribution centres along the M1, manufacturing sites and offices and shops in Nottingham, Derby and Leicester.
Business keyholding in the East Midlands gives your company a professional keyholder, so the out-of-hours alarm call does not land on the owner or a manager. We hold your keys, answer your alarms, let in contractors and emergency services and keep your premises secure. It suits small businesses with one site as well as larger firms with several.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does business keyholding work in the East Midlands?

We take your keys into secure storage and agree who we contact and what we do in each situation. Our officers then respond to your business premises in the East Midlands and report back in writing.

Which areas of the East Midlands do you cover?

We cover the East Midlands, including Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Loughborough and Mansfield. Send us your postcode and we will confirm cover.

Is business keyholding worth it for a small business?

For many small businesses it is, because it saves the owner from attending alarms at night and protects them from the risks of doing so. Costs depend on the site and how often you need us, so ask us for a quote.

Are your officers SIA-licensed?

Yes. Every officer we deploy holds a valid SIA licence and is vetted to BS 7858.

Do you cover nights, weekends and bank holidays?

Yes. Our control centre runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Can I cover more than one site?

Yes. Sites in the East Midlands and elsewhere in the UK can sit under one agreement with a single point of contact.

How much does business keyholding cost in the East Midlands?

It depends on the number of sites, how many keys we hold and the level of response you need. Send us your details and we will give you a clear quote.
