Our Opening and Closing Security Services in the West Midlands
The West Midlands is one of the UK's busiest business regions, with Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Solihull and the Black Country towns linked by the M5, M6 and M42. Uniguard's head office is in Solihull, so the region is home ground for our officers. We work with sites where opening and closing has to happen on time, even when staff are not available, covering city-centre offices, manufacturing plants, logistics sheds near the motorway network and retail parks across the region.
Our opening and closing security services in the West Midlands take care of the first and last jobs of the day. An officer opens your premises at the agreed time, unsets the alarm and checks the building is as it should be. At close, they make sure everyone has left, check doors, windows and power, set the alarm and lock up. Every visit is logged.
