Industrial site security has to work around production, not against it. A manufacturing plant never really closes — shift changeovers, HGV deliveries and contractors on permits all have to move while the perimeter remains secure. Slow the gate and you affect output. Ignore the yard and plant, raw materials or finished stock can be exposed.
AGS Security provides SIA-licensed officers for factories, production plants, engineering works and industrial estates across England, Scotland and Wales — including gatehouse and vehicle access control, contractor verification, perimeter and outdoor storage patrols, and shutdown cover when the site is not operating.
Industrial contracts usually combine a controlled gate with cover for the perimeter and the hours production is not running. The right mix depends on site size, shift pattern and the volume of outdoor storage.
The schemes and bodies AGS Security is accredited by, registered with or a member of. If your procurement process needs certificates or scheme numbers, ask and we will provide the relevant documents.
Security can be structured around your operating hours, delivery windows, shift patterns, contractor traffic, perimeter, yards and the value of plant, materials and finished stock held on site.
Manned gatehouse cover handling HGV arrivals, contractor sign-in, visitor passes and vehicle checks — keeping deliveries moving while everyone entering the site is accounted for.

Explore Yorkshire & HumberIndustrial sites need officers who can hold a gate and perimeter without slowing production. AGS Security follows a structured four-stage process so every assignment is properly assessed, appropriately staffed and effectively managed.
We walk the site with your operations team — reviewing shift patterns, delivery windows, contractor volumes and the hours when the plant is least staffed.
We assess the perimeter, gate, yard, outdoor storage and plant compounds, identifying where materials and equipment are most exposed.
Officers complete your site induction and are briefed on your access procedures, permit-to-work rules and escalation contacts before their first shift.
Our management team supervises cover throughout the contract, scales up for shutdowns and holiday periods, and adjusts deployment as production patterns change.
