Manned Guarding

Octavian Security is truly revolutionising the manned guarding security industry. Renowned as the business that is passionate about excellence in customer service, it has almost single-handedly increased operational standards - and decreased tolerance of the poor performance that remains common within the security sector. This has involved a much more rigorous vetting of staff and the delivery of first class courses from its own industry accredited in-house training division. The result of these measures has been peace of mind for Octavian's clients, in an industry plagued with ineffective security provision and mistrust of guards, and has led to dramatically improved customer service.

Octavian works with many of the UK's largest and highest profile organisations. From Government agencies, broadcasters and logistics giants to construction firms, major retailers and shopping centres, Octavian's highly-trained Security Officers are safeguarding clients' operations and interests.

Octavian is one of the fastest growing manned security firms - listed 27th in the 2008/9 Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100 League Table.

Octavian operates in all sectors and has specialisms including retail, financial and professional services, logistics, distribution and warehousing, ports, construction, automotive, utilities, events (sports and leisure), governmental/local authority work and outside broadcast security.
