Professional Guarding at Every Scale

"Keep your business protected. Enjoy peace of mind this holiday season."
Uniguard provides professional Christmas and holiday security services across the UK, helping businesses protect their people, property, stock and valuable assets throughout the busiest and quietest periods of the year. From retail security guards and shopping centre security to factory guarding, warehouse protection, mobile patrols and alarm response, we deliver tailored security solutions to meet your business requirements.

Reliable Security for Every Type of Business

Every business has different security requirements during the holiday season. While some premises experience increased footfall and higher customer activity, others close completely, leaving buildings, equipment and stock unattended. Uniguard provides flexible security cover to help businesses manage these changing risks.

Retail Store & Shopping Centre Security

The Christmas shopping season and bank holidays can bring increased customer activity, making effective retail security more important than ever. Our professional retail security officers help retailers maintain a safe shopping environment while deterring theft, managing access and supporting staff.

Our retail security services include:

  • Visible security guards for retail stores and shopping centres.
  • Theft prevention and loss prevention support.
  • Customer and staff safety monitoring.
  • Access control and suspicious activity monitoring.
  • Crowd management during busy shopping periods.
  • Opening and closing security procedures.

Factory & Industrial Site Security

Closing a factory or manufacturing facility for Christmas or a bank holiday can leave valuable machinery, equipment, raw materials and stock vulnerable. Uniguard provides professional factory security and industrial site protection to help safeguard your premises while your operations are temporarily suspended.

Our factory security solutions include:

  • Static security guards for closed industrial premises.
  • Perimeter inspections and access control.
  • Monitoring of entry and exit points.
  • Scheduled and random mobile security patrols.
  • Protection against trespassing, theft and vandalism.
  • Incident reporting and escalation procedures.

Warehouse & Distribution Centre Security

Warehouses and distribution centres often hold valuable inventory, making them important security priorities during seasonal shutdowns. Our warehouse security services help businesses maintain control over their premises, restrict unauthorised access and protect goods throughout holiday closures.

Security support can include:

  • Manned warehouse security.
  • Gatehouse and vehicle access control.
  • Internal and external security patrols.
  • Loading bay and perimeter monitoring.
  • Keyholding and alarm response.
  • Out-of-hours security inspections.

Office & Commercial Property Security

If your office or commercial premises will be closed over Christmas or a bank holiday, ensuring the building remains protected is essential. Our commercial property security solutions provide a professional security presence to deter unauthorised access and help protect your business assets.

We can provide:

  • Static security guarding.
  • Building access control.
  • Scheduled mobile patrols.
  • Lock-up and unlock services.
  • Keyholding and alarm response.
  • Out-of-hours property inspections.
