Our Christmas & Bank Holiday Security Cover in the West Midlands
Across the West Midlands, Christmas brings packed shopping centres such as the Bullring, Merry Hill and Touchwood, while factories in the Black Country and distribution sheds beside the M5, M6 and M42 close for a week or more. With our head office in Solihull, we can plan retail cover, shutdown guarding and holiday patrols across the whole region.
Over Christmas, New Year and bank holidays, businesses in the West Midlands face two different risks: busy shops and shopping centres that need more visible security, and closed factories, warehouses and offices left empty for days. We can put SIA-licensed officers on site, run scheduled or random mobile patrols, hold your keys and respond to alarms, so your premises stay protected until you reopen. Every officer is vetted to BS 7858 and reports back after every shift or visit.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Christmas and bank holiday security cover work in the West Midlands?
Tell us your closure or trading dates and the premises that need cover. We review the risks, agree static guarding, patrols or alarm response, brief officers on your site in the West Midlands, and send patrol records and incident reports throughout the holiday period.
Which areas of the West Midlands do you cover?
We cover the whole West Midlands, including Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Solihull, Dudley, Walsall and Sandwell. Send us your postcode and we will confirm cover.
When should we book Christmas security in the West Midlands?
As early as possible, because demand for holiday cover rises in December. We can usually arrange cover at short notice in the West Midlands, but booking early lets us plan officers, patrol routes and keyholding before your shutdown.
Are your officers SIA-licensed?
Yes. Every officer we deploy holds a valid SIA licence and is vetted to BS 7858.
Do you work on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day?
Yes. Our officers and 24/7 helpdesk work through Christmas, New Year and every bank holiday, 365 days a year.
Can you cover sites outside the West Midlands?
Yes. We provide Christmas and bank holiday security across the UK, so sites in the West Midlands and elsewhere can be covered under one agreement with a single point of contact.
How much does Christmas security cover cost in the West Midlands?
It depends on the type of cover, the number of officers or patrol visits, the dates and hours, and the site risks. Tell us your holiday dates and we will give you a clear quote.
