Logistics & Warehouse Security

Warehouse and logistics security that keeps your yard moving

In a distribution centre, security and operations go hand in hand. A slow gatehouse holds up drivers and delays loads, while a careless one lets the wrong vehicle through. Your security team needs to be quick, thorough and comfortable working at the pace of a busy yard.

At Octagon Risk Management, we supply warehouse and logistics security officers who understand gatehouse procedures, vehicle and trailer checks, and the realities of running a site around the clock. They work to your site procedures, keep accurate records and know when something doesn’t look right.

The Midlands is home to some of the busiest logistics hubs in the country, and we look after warehouses and distribution sites across Leicester, Lutterworth, Magna Park, Nottingham, Derby, Northampton and Coventry.

Yes. We provide round-the-clock gatehouse and site security, with officers rotated on a stable rota so they get to know your site and your regular drivers.

Will your officers follow our site procedures?
