About Us
Why choose us?
​
In an ever changing world where the safety and security of our families is often compromised, a slower response time from our emergency services and a world where people no longer fear CCTV we understand the importance of protecting what we work hard for.
​
Experience
​
In 2019 our director Mariah fell victim to a burglary whilst living on her own as a single woman, if it wasn't for Mariah's personal protection dog Saxon the Doberman, the perpetrator would have succeeded in his attempt to physically use brute force against Mariah to enter the property.
​
Not only did Saxon defend Mariah, he was sure to secure the premises after and provide her with comfort and reassurance long after the attack.
​
So what makes us so different? Not only are we a team of qualified professionals but we also have extensive field experience in various spheres.
​
