Supporting workplace safety & experience
Manned guarding services for safer workplaces.
Manned guarding services
CCTV and alarm systems play a big part in workplace security, helping to deter unwanted behaviour and provide a record if something goes wrong. But technology can’t always respond when something happens or deal with a situation as it unfolds.
That’s where manned guarding services can make a real difference. Having trained security specialists on site means there’s someone present to keep an eye on things, respond quickly and support the people who use your workplace every day.
Our SIA licensed security officers deliver structured, risk-based guarding services across multi-site environments, ensuring compliance, visibility and rapid response where it matters most.
Strengthening security with manned guarding
With manned guard security services, trained specialists patrol your site, monitor entrances and help manage who comes and goes. Their presence alone can discourage unauthorised access or disruptive behaviour, just because people know someone’s there.
At 14forty, we have access to more than 1,300 trained security professionals who support workplaces across a wide range of sectors. They’re on hand to respond quickly if something doesn’t look right, whether that’s investigating unusual activity, responding to an alarm or helping employees during an incident.
- SIA licensed and fully vetted officers
- 24/7 guarding and mobile patrol capability
- Incident reporting and audit-ready records
- Integration with CCTV and remote monitoring
- Scalable across single or multi-site contracts
Front of house & concierge security for modern workplaces
A concierge security guard combines manned guarding with a welcoming front-of-house presence. While they’re responsible for monitoring access and keeping the workplace secure, they also help create a positive experience for visitors and employees.
Positioned at entrances or reception areas, they’re often the first person someone meets when arriving at your building, and can welcome visitors, manage sign-ins and help direct people to the right place. For businesses seeking manned guarding services that support both safety and the workplace experience, concierge security offers a practical and flexible solution.
Supporting reception and front-of-house teams
Reception teams are usually the first point of contact for visitors, so they’re often the first to notice if something seems out of place. With manned guarding services on site, trained security specialists are nearby and can step in quickly if needed.
That partnership also supports everyday tasks such as managing visitor access, handling deliveries and guiding people through the building. Manned guarding professionals help make sure procedures are followed, allowing reception teams to stay focused on keeping things organised and welcoming. Because every workplace operates differently, security teams also need to be matched to the environment.
