Security, Facilities & Fire Safety in Coventry

Ashridge Group provides SIA-licensed manned guarding, facilities management and waking watch across Coventry and Warwickshire. From our Buckinghamshire base we cover the city’s automotive and logistics estates, university and hospital campuses, retail and city-centre regeneration. Every officer is SIA-licensed and BS 7858 vetted, with relief cover so there are never gaps in your security.

Coventry anchors the UK’s most significant automotive and advanced-engineering cluster, home to Jaguar Land Rover, Aston Martin and the MIRA Technology Park, alongside a heavyweight logistics belt. SEGRO Park Coventry Gateway is a 215-acre industrial and logistics park with up to 3.7 million sq ft of space (home to the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre, Parcelforce and Kuehne + Nagel), alongside Prologis Park Coventry (five minutes from M6 J3), Coventry Business Park, Middlemarch and Binley. With the A45, A46, M6, M69 and M42, plus the Hams Hall and DIRFT rail-freight terminals nearby, these big-box sheds and manufacturing sites drive constant demand for 24/7 gatehouse and yard security, access control and out-of-hours patrols.

Healthcare and education are among the city’s largest sectors. University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust employs over 10,000 staff across 1,380 beds, while Coventry University and the University of Warwick anchor major campus, laboratory and student-residence estates. These high-footfall clinical, campus and multi-tenant office sites need integrated manned guarding, front-of-house concierge, access control and facilities support.

City-centre regeneration keeps construction-site security in demand. The £450 million City Centre South scheme will deliver up to 1,500 homes plus retail and leisure across City Arcade, Bull Yard and Market Way, and new SME estates such as Warwickshire Connect Endemere are under construction. No Coventry-specific cladding count is published, but a subset of the city’s high-rise and complex residential blocks falls under the national Building Safety Fund and Cladding Safety Scheme. Where a building’s safety case requires it, we provide compliant, NFCC- and Building Safety Act-aligned waking watch and fire patrols, helping transition to permanent alarm-led arrangements under the Waking Watch Replacement Fund.
