Manned Guarding
Visible presence. Controlled access.
Manned Guarding: Two security officers controlling access at the entrance of a modern London office building while an authorised worker enters.
Forth & James is an independent London security company built around professional standards, clear operating procedures and accountable service delivery.
Our services are designed for corporate, residential, construction and event environments across London. Each assignment is assessed individually, with coverage, responsibilities and escalation arrangements agreed before service begins.
The model is deliberately simple: a thorough assessment, a written plan, SIA-licensed personnel for every licensable role, and a named point of contact.
How we work
What to expect.
Judgement first
Recruitment will focus on temperament and decision-making, with training shaped around each site. Presence matters more than posture.
Continuity
Wherever arrangements allow, the same personnel will return to the same site, so familiarity with people and routine becomes an asset.
Documented, not assumed
Patrols, incidents and reviews are recorded and shared. You should never have to ask what happened overnight.
Quietly effective
The best security arrangement is the one your visitors barely notice and your team never worries about.
