Question 1

What areas do you cover for security services?

Accepted Answer

Murhey Group provides professional security services within a 10-mile radius of Bolton town centre. This includes areas such as Farnworth, Horwich, Westhoughton, Atherton, Little Lever, Kearsley, Walkden, Radcliffe, and extends to parts of Bury and Wigan. Our local base at Stafford House on Chorley Old Road means we can respond quickly to any security needs throughout the Greater Manchester area. Being Bolton-based gives us excellent knowledge of the local area, allowing us to provide faster response times and more personalised service than national security companies.

Question 2

Are your security guards SIA licensed?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All Murhey Group security officers hold valid licences issued by the Security Industry Authority (SIA), which is mandatory for anyone working in the private security industry in the UK. Our SIA-licensed guards have completed approved training qualifications, passed comprehensive criminal background checks, been verified for their right to work in the UK, and demonstrated professional competence. We maintain strict compliance with all SIA requirements and regularly verify that all licences remain current. This ensures you receive trained, vetted, and legally compliant security professionals.

Question 3

Do you provide 24/7 security services in Bolton?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Murhey Group offers comprehensive round-the-clock security services throughout Bolton and the surrounding areas. Our security operations run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Whether you need overnight security guards for your premises, weekend mobile patrols, or emergency response at any hour, we have the capacity and resources to protect your business at all times. Our control room operates continuously, ensuring immediate communication and response coordination whenever security issues arise.

Question 4

How quickly can you deploy security guards to my premises?

Accepted Answer

For planned security requirements, we can typically deploy fully briefed security officers within 24 to 48 hours of confirming your booking. This allows time for proper site induction and briefing to ensure effective service delivery. For urgent or emergency security needs within our Bolton service area, we can often arrange same-day deployment when operationally possible. Our local presence means shorter travel times and faster response compared to security companies based further afield. Contact us directly to discuss urgent requirements and we will do everything possible to meet your timeline.

Question 5

What types of businesses do you provide security for?

Accepted Answer

Murhey Group serves a diverse range of businesses and organisations across Bolton and Greater Manchester. Our clients include commercial offices and business parks, retail stores and shopping centres, construction sites and development projects, industrial facilities and warehouses, healthcare premises and medical centres, educational institutions including schools and colleges, residential developments and housing associations, hotels, restaurants, and hospitality venues, events and entertainment venues, and car dealerships and showrooms. We tailor our security solutions to match the specific requirements and risk profiles of each sector.

Question 6

How much do your security services cost?

Accepted Answer

Security service costs vary depending on several factors including the type of service required, number of security officers needed, hours of coverage, level of risk at the premises, any specialist requirements such as K9 or close protection, and the duration of the contract. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all pricing, we provide free, no-obligation quotes tailored specifically to your requirements. This ensures you only pay for the security you actually need. Contact us with details of your requirements and we will provide a competitive quotation within 24 hours. We are committed to offering excellent value while maintaining the highest professional standards.

Question 7

Do you offer one-off or short-term security contracts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Murhey Group provides flexible security solutions including one-off, short-term, and temporary security arrangements alongside our long-term contract services. We regularly support businesses with event security for corporate functions, product launches, and private events, construction site security during specific project phases, temporary cover during staff absence or holidays, seasonal security needs during busy retail periods, and emergency security when situations arise unexpectedly. We understand that security needs can be unpredictable, so we maintain the flexibility to accommodate both planned short-term requirements and emergency situations.

Question 8

What makes Murhey Group different from other Bolton security companies?

Accepted Answer

Several factors distinguish Murhey Group from other security providers in Bolton. Firstly, we are genuinely local, based at Stafford House on Chorley Old Road, which means we understand Bolton and can respond faster than companies based elsewhere. We focus on quality over quantity, maintaining a focused service area that allows us to deliver consistently excellent service. You will have direct access to decision-makers rather than being routed through call centres. All our officers receive training beyond minimum SIA requirements, ensuring they can handle various situations professionally. We believe in transparent communication with clear pricing, regular reporting, and honest advice. Finally, as a company established in 2023, we combine fresh energy and modern approaches with professional security standards.

Question 9

Do you provide CCTV services as well as manned guarding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Murhey Group offers comprehensive security solutions that include both CCTV services and manned guarding. Our CCTV capabilities include professional installation of high-definition camera systems, remote CCTV monitoring through our 24/7 control room, system maintenance and technical support, and integration of CCTV with security guard operations. Many clients benefit from combined solutions where security officers monitor CCTV alongside physical patrols, or where remote monitoring supplements on-site presence. We can design integrated security packages that maximise protection while optimising cost-effectiveness. Contact us to discuss how combined CCTV and manned guarding could work for your premises.

Question 11

Accepted Answer
