ESA Risk can provide bespoke security solutions for your specific needs

Clients use our security specialists for both our agility and ability to offer a comprehensive list of critical services covering the entire United Kingdom. We can also provide overseas safeguarding through our licensed close protection officers and network of international security agents.

Our team of experienced security consultants and managers have impressive backgrounds in the military, the police and the financial and legal sectors. All staff are vetted to ensure they meet the requirements of British Standard BS7858 and are DBS checked.

Our head security consultant, Liam Doherty, co-owns and runs Marpol Security Limited, one of the largest independent security companies based in the north west of England, with whom we have a joint venture. All UK-licensed activities are delivered by Marpol Security staff who are certified to the SIA’s government standards and Marpol Security is a member of its Approved Contractor Scheme. Liam has extensive experience of supporting insolvency practitioners and receivers in the protection of property assets, stepping in to ensure that assets retain their value and insurance cover is maintained until the property is re-let or the asset disposed of.

Liam and his team work in both the public and private sectors and have an excellent track record, providing security solutions for clients from small, independent SMEs up to large national and international blue-chip companies. His team also brings invaluable professional expertise and insights, which gives them an intimate understanding of the risks involved for clients and the security solutions required to manage and mitigate them.

Security risk assessments

If you have a security need, we offer a high-quality assessment that can help you identify what services are critical for your sites. As a first step, we will deploy a security consultant to visit you and review whether you require services related to cyber security, CCTV remote monitoring or physical security. In the case of physical security, the consultant will then analyse the crime statistics in the area, take photos around the site to identify where security needs to be tightened up and then put a proposal together outlining recommendations and a menu of options to reflect your budget.

Our personal, swift customer service will ensure you feel secure and are satisfied with our work. All our team members are experienced and fully trained to cater to your security needs. We can monitor your buildings regardless of the type and size, we can protect your assets and we can provide the security needed during property monitoring and valuation.

We build customer feedback into our risk assessments so that the services best reflect your needs and fit your circumstances. Our experts can make recommendations to improve the security on site such as the installation of steel shutters or screens on windows and doors, which are critical in high-risk areas that are vulnerable to break-ins from arsonists, squatters, thieves and vandals. We can also organise regular inspections to identify any leaks that might damage an empty property. Insurers will typically insist upon documented periodic inspections of vacant premises as part of their terms and conditions.

Full range of security services

We can help with commercial evictions and property evictions, too, working closely with local authorities and solicitors to ensure that the eviction process is handled discreetly, safely and sensitively.

Whether it is a one-off service or the provision of long-term security arrangements, we are equipped to respond to your needs with a range of services that will safeguard your business. We work with speed and agility to put security measures into place, and our ‘hands-on’ approach promises optimum client care and protection through the delivery of a high-quality service, cost-effective and professional service.
