Warehousing and Logistics Security

Warehouse security for distribution centres, logistics parks and storage facilities across England, Scotland and Wales.
Warehousing & Logistics Security

Security for Distribution Centres and Logistics Sites

AGS Security provides warehouse security for distribution centres, logistics parks, cold storage facilities and haulage yards across England, Scotland and Wales. Stock, vehicles and trailers represent significant value sitting on site around the clock, while logistics operations run to schedules that can leave premises exposed between shifts.

Our SIA-licensed officers deliver gatehouse control, vehicle and driver checks, internal patrols and overnight cover, helping protect stock and assets while keeping goods moving. Where a site has unmanned periods, static cover can be supported by mobile patrols, key holding and alarm response.

Security Services for Warehousing and Logistics Sites
