About This Service
What is Manned Guarding?
Manned guarding is the deployment of trained, SIA-licensed security officers to protect premises, property, and people through physical presence and active security measures. It represents the most visible and immediate form of security protection available, providing both powerful deterrence against criminal activity and rapid response capability when incidents occur.
Unlike passive security measures such as alarms and CCTV, manned guarding provides a human element capable of making real-time decisions, adapting to changing situations, and taking immediate action to protect your interests. Security officers can challenge suspicious individuals, manage access to your premises, coordinate emergency responses, and provide valuable reassurance to staff and visitors.
At Murhey Group, our manned guarding services are delivered by fully SIA-licensed security officers who have undergone comprehensive vetting, training, and background checks. Every officer deployed to your site is a qualified professional capable of representing your business while delivering effective security protection.
Whether you need round-the-clock static guards, cost-effective mobile patrols, professional reception security, or specialist gatehouse operations, our manned guarding solutions can be tailored to meet your specific requirements and budget.

Our Manned Guarding Services
Comprehensive Security Solutions
We offer a complete range of manned guarding services to meet diverse security requirements across Bolton and the surrounding areas.
Static Security Guards
Dedicated security officers stationed at your premises providing continuous protection and immediate response to any security incidents. Static guards maintain a constant presence, manage access control, monitor surveillance systems, conduct regular patrols, and serve as the first line of defence for your business. This service is ideal for locations requiring round-the-clock security coverage or where a permanent uniformed presence is essential for deterrence and response.
Service Includes:
- 24/7 on-site presence
- Access control management
- CCTV monitoring
- Regular internal patrols
- Incident response
- Detailed reporting
Mobile Patrol Services
Cost-effective security coverage through scheduled and random patrol visits by uniformed officers in marked vehicles. Mobile patrols are perfect for businesses that need security checks without the expense of static guards. Our patrol officers conduct thorough external and internal inspections, verify that premises are secure, and respond to any issues discovered. The unpredictable nature of patrol times acts as an effective deterrent against criminal activity.
Service Includes:
- Scheduled patrol visits
- Random security checks
- External perimeter inspection
- Internal walkthrough (with keys)
- Lock and unlock services

This service is essential for corporate offices, business parks, and any premises where professional visitor management is required.

Gatehouse Security
Specialist security officers managing vehicle and personnel access at gatehouse positions. Gatehouse security is critical for industrial sites, logistics facilities, and large premises where controlling who enters and exits is essential. Our gatehouse officers verify vehicle and driver credentials, manage delivery schedules, maintain accurate entry and exit logs, conduct vehicle searches when required, and ensure only authorised personnel and vehicles access your site.
Service Includes:

- Theft deterrence
- Customer safety
- Shoplifter detention
- CCTV monitoring
- Store opening/closing
Construction Site Security
Specialist security for building and construction sites protecting valuable plant, materials, and equipment from theft and vandalism. Construction sites present unique security challenges due to their changing nature, multiple access points, and high-value targets. Our site security officers manage access control, conduct patrols, monitor for unauthorised entry, and provide overnight coverage when sites are unmanned. We understand the construction industry and work within site safety protocols.

SIA Licensing Standards
The Security Industry Authority (SIA) regulates the private security industry in the UK. All security officers conducting licensable activities must hold a valid SIA licence.
Professional Standards
Fully Licensed & Vetted Officers
Every security officer deployed by Murhey Group holds a valid SIA licence for the security guarding sector. This is not simply a regulatory requirement but a fundamental guarantee of quality and professionalism for our clients.
The SIA licensing process ensures that security officers have completed rigorous training covering conflict management, physical intervention skills, emergency procedures, and relevant legislation. Background checks verify that officers have no disqualifying criminal convictions and are suitable to work in positions of trust.
Beyond SIA requirements, our officers undergo additional vetting following BS 7858 standards, which provides even more thorough background screening. We verify employment history, check references, and ensure that every individual we deploy meets our high standards for integrity and professionalism.
Ongoing training ensures our officers remain current with industry developments, site-specific procedures, and evolving security best practices. When you engage Murhey Group, you can be confident that trained, vetted, and properly licensed professionals will be protecting your premises.
