If you run a business in Wigan and you are looking for a local security company, you are in the right place. Radius Security has been headquartered at Beecham Court in Wigan since 2004 — over 20 years of protecting businesses, properties, and people across the borough and beyond.
This guide covers what to expect from a professional security company, which services Wigan businesses use most, and what to look for when making your choice.
About Radius Security
Radius Security is a Wigan-based security company operating nationally. We hold SIA Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) status — the security industry’s highest professional accreditation — and all our officers are fully SIA-licensed and trained to the highest standard.
We work with businesses of all sizes: from small retail units and hospitality venues in Wigan town centre to large logistics warehouses, care facilities, and multi-site operations across the North West. Our operations team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The Security Landscape in Wigan
Wigan’s business community is diverse — and so are its security needs. The borough covers everything from busy retail and hospitality venues in the town centre to substantial logistics and manufacturing operations, plus the retail parks along Robin Park Road and the commercial estates around the WN postcodes.
Crime patterns in Wigan reflect this variety. Retail businesses deal with shoplifting and opportunistic theft. Industrial and logistics sites face vehicle crime, equipment theft, and after-hours break-ins. Hospitality venues need professional door supervision to keep staff and customers safe.
A local security company understands these dynamics. Response times matter. Knowledge of the local area — the roads, the risk patterns, the police response — is a genuine operational advantage.
What Security Services Do Wigan Businesses Use Most?
Manned Guarding
A uniformed, SIA-licensed officer on site is one of the most effective deterrents available. Our manned guarding service covers access control, regular patrols, visitor management, and real-time incident response. We work with businesses across Wigan’s retail, logistics, construction, and care sectors.
Mobile Patrols and Key Holding
For businesses that need security coverage but not a full-time on-site guard, mobile patrols and key holding are a cost-effective solution. Our patrol vehicles cover routes across Wigan and the surrounding area throughout the night, checking premises, testing entry points, and providing a visible deterrent. If your alarm triggers, we respond — so you do not have to.
Door Supervision
Wigan’s hospitality venues — pubs, bars, clubs, and event spaces — need professional door supervisors who are trained, licensed, and experienced. Our SIA-licensed door supervisors are accustomed to working busy town centre environments and understand how to handle conflict safely and professionally.
Care Wardens and Night Porters
Radius Security provides specialist care warden and night porter services for supported housing, care facilities, and residential schemes across Wigan and the wider borough. Our care wardens are trained to support vulnerable residents while maintaining the safety and security of the building.
How to Choose a Security Company in Wigan
Check SIA Licensing
Every security officer working in the UK must hold a current SIA licence. This is a legal requirement — not a recommendation. Any reputable security company will confirm their officers’ licensing status without hesitation.
Look for ACS Status
The SIA Approved Contractor Scheme goes beyond basic licensing. ACS-approved companies are independently assessed against defined standards covering training, management quality, and operational delivery. Radius Security holds ACS status for both Manned Guarding and Door Supervision, audited annually.
Consider Local Presence and Response Time
A security company based in Wigan can respond faster than one operating from further afield. For key holding, alarm response, and mobile patrols, response time is everything. Our base at Beecham Court gives us a genuine local advantage for businesses across the WN postcodes.
Ask About Reporting
A professional security company provides written records of every patrol, visit, and incident. Before signing with any provider, ask how they report back to clients and what happens when something goes wrong.
