Guard Spencer was invaluable to our build, very vigilant. We asked a lot by way of short notice cover and all our requirements were met. Good comms with operations. 5 star service.

I witnessed one of the most aggressive and unprofessional displays from the Operations Manager IAN BROWNBRIDGE. I have never heard such fowl language infront of families and childred or been witness to such immense and unreasonable aggression and threatening behaviour. It baffles me that a person like this can work at a company that is suppose to keep places and premises safe. I will NEVER use this company as a result of him and if any of the companies I use ever tell me they use this company then I will pull my business from them. Patronas, you need to seriously re-evaluate having someone like this in your business.

Just wanted to say thank you very much for sending Aaron to us for the book sale security. As previously, he has been super-efficient, vigilant and great to work with. We have just sold a very high-value item today, so It was very reassuring to have him working in the saleroom with us! He is a credit to your company.

We contracted Patronus Security of Exeter to supply security services for our large solar panel sites within the Devon & Cornwall area, we found them to be very punctual and professional in their approach and understanding or our needs, and also very adaptable at short notice.
