Corporate Security Services

WHMG has been providing corporate security services to businesses across the South East since 2006. In that time we have worked with a wide range of organisations, from professional offices and warehouses to large-scale commercial operations, and the approach has always been the same: understand how a business works before deciding how to protect it. Because security that doesn't fit around your operations tends to cause as many problems as it solves.

A Security Solution Built Around Your Business

Security that doesn't fit how a business operates tends to get worked around, which defeats the purpose. Before we put anything in place, we take the time to understand your premises, your people, how your site is used day to day and where the genuine risks are.

That might result in a manned guard on reception, a team conducting patrols across a larger site, or a concierge security officer who manages the front of house and handles access, or a combination of all three. The point is that the solution fits your business, not the other way around.

Manned Guarding for Offices and Commercial Premises

A professional, visible security presence changes behaviour. It deters opportunistic theft, prevents unauthorised access and gives your staff and visitors confidence that the premises is being looked after.

Our security officers are fully licensed, experienced in commercial environments and briefed on your site before they set foot on it. They know how to conduct themselves in a professional workplace, they are approachable with staff and visitors, as well as being alert to anything that shouldn't be there. We cover daytime, out-of-hours and overnight requirements across Sussex, East Sussex, West Sussex, Surrey, Kent and South London, on both a contracted and shorter-term basis.

Reception and Concierge Security

Not every business wants a guard standing at the door. For offices, corporate headquarters and professional premises where first impressions count, our reception and concierge security service puts a skilled, well-presented officer at the front of house who handles visitor management, issues passes, enforces access policies and keeps an eye on what's happening, without making the place feel like a fortress.

It is a service that works particularly well in multi-tenancy buildings and larger corporate premises where there is a constant flow of visitors and contractors who all need to be managed correctly.

Access Control

Who has access to your building, and to which parts of it, is something many businesses don't think about carefully until something goes wrong. Our team can manage all entry and exit points, verify credentials, handle visitor sign-in and ensure your access policies are actually being followed rather than just existing on paper. For businesses handling sensitive data, high-value stock or restricted operational areas, this is not optional, it is a basic necessity.

Incident Management

An incident handled badly can cause more damage than the incident itself. Our officers are trained to manage a wide range of situations, from an aggressive visitor or an unauthorised person on site, to a fire evacuation or a medical emergency, calmly, correctly and without causing unnecessary alarm.

A significant number of our team come from the armed forces and emergency services. They are not learning on the job when things get difficult. We also work with clients before anything happens to put proper incident management procedures in place, so that if something does occur, everyone knows exactly what to do.

Sectors and Businesses We Work With

Our corporate security services cover a broad range of organisations, including:

  • Offices and corporate headquarters

  • Warehouses and logistics operations

  • Retail and commercial premises

  • Professional services firms

  • Private clinics and healthcare facilities

  • Hospitality venues and hotels

  • Shopping centres

  • Industrial and manufacturing facilities

  • Charitable organisations and care providers

For higher-risk sectors, including financial services, jewellers, art galleries, auction houses and pharmaceutical firms, we also offer specialist business protection services where the nature of the work demands a more tailored approach. This can include close protection, intelligence and surveillance and other specialist security services, all delivered by the same team.

Why Businesses Work With WHMG

We have been doing this since 2006. Our clients include Henley Royal Regatta, the All England Jumping Course at Hickstead, London Marathon Events and Morden College, organisations that have trusted us with complex, high-profile security operations year after year. That kind of long-term relationship doesn't happen by accident.

Our officers are SIA licensed, well presented and selected carefully. We are a Living Wage Employer, a registered member of the UK Crowd Management Association (UKCMA) and registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), so any personal data handled as part of our work, visitor records, CCTV data and similar, is managed in line with GDPR requirements. We hold the Armed Forces Covenant Gold Award and actively support veterans moving into civilian careers, which is where a number of our most experienced staff have come from.

We are straightforward to work with, transparent about what we can and can't do, and focused on doing the job properly rather than just winning the contract.
