    Covering Cardiff

    What we cover in Cardiff.

    We provide manned guarding, mobile patrols, facilities management and fire-safety cover across Cardiff — corporate offices, industrial estates, healthcare and education sites, and construction projects — with directly-employed teams. Security officers are SIA-licensed; fire-safety cover is delivered by trained fire marshals.

    Cardiff city centre and the adjoining Cathays Park civic quarter form the commercial and administrative core, home to Cardiff University’s main campus — 22 of its 26 academic schools, with £200 million currently invested in labs and teaching space — and Cardiff Central, the largest and busiest station in Wales. Between the city centre and Cardiff Bay, Capital Quarter is a 10-acre mixed-use development with outline planning for over 1 million sq ft of offices, hotels and student housing; individual buildings such as Capital Quarter 2 provide up to 85,000 sq ft of Grade A office space. Cardiff Bay has its own office cluster at Caspian Point and Assembly Square, with waterfront office buildings running from around 30,000 to 68,000 sq ft.

    East of the centre, Capital Business Park at Wentloog is Cardiff’s premier industrial, trade and distribution park — over 500,000 sq ft across more than 55 businesses, including National Grid. To the north, the University Hospital of Wales at Heath Park is a 1,080-bed teaching hospital running 24-hour emergency care, alongside Cardiff University’s Heath Park medical campus.
