Assignment

Major industrial distribution centre close to M25

Situation

Blighted by repeated materials theft, despite existing security provisions. Ongoing criminal attacks meant the situation was escalating and the property was rapidly becoming devalued. We were briefed to deliver a 24/7 protection regime, stamping out criminal activity onsite.

Solution

• Immediately establishing a strong security presence around the clock, to halt any further attacks
• Regular patrols act as a highly visible ongoing deterrent to would-be intruders
• Security gate-house facilitates site visits, viewings and inspections
• Soft landscaping and litter picking maintain the external state of the property
• Installing discreet cabin accommodation at the property’s most vulnerable point
• Overseeing necessary repairs and redecoration with a 24-hour caretaking and protection operation
• The 160,000 sq ft site is now fully protected, at a significant cost saving
• Theft and intrusion onsite have been eliminated
• Costs, damage and deterioration due to metal theft have also been eliminated
• The property is continuously presentable and ready for viewing
• Our client can now move forward with their plans for the property, helped by our onsite team
