Excellent company to work for (seems like a rarity in the security industry) plenty of hours to go at and opportunities available in all aspects of security, management are very responsive when Iv needed to contact them and staff welfare is good. They're shift manager seems flexible and has been able to work with me when it comes to commitments outside of work. Pay is what's expected for security within the area which is primarily Cumbria and SW Scotland but they do have sites further afield. Whilst working for them iv been offered several training courses like emergency first aid at work, first aid for mental health, CCTV and counter terror, which all goes well on the old CV. Overall I'm exceptionally happy working for them.

Hi all, i have employed the services of this company for over 15 years i have always found them very professional, trustworthy, and very willing to help out in any way they can. I can highly recommend them for all your security needs, and we look forward to dealing with them again as soon as the pubs can re-open. p.s the review from a Ronnie Wood is not me.

Long running company with plenty of work. long shifts, but you need to put the hours in to earn the wages. they dont like unreliability - i got a warning for this at the beginning but all my fault and i learned from it. happy enough though, with regular work., always paid on time.

Had a great couple of years working for Pro-tect UK pay was always correct and on time and the staff were all friendly and helpful. Only left due to change of circumstances in personal life.
