Company Profile

Frontline Contract Services Ltd

Frontline was formed as a security services provision exercise in 1999. Originally providing door supervisors to Cornwall and the South West of England. Working within the leisure security marketplace and providing a premium level professional service quickly found Frontline being drawn into the wider based field of event security, taking the companies field of operation to a nationwide level. Operating with and on behalf of a number of the event security industries leading operators, Frontline have since then provided staff to the UK’s premier events including Royal Ascot, F1 Grand Prix, Glastonbury, The Grand National and World Super Bikes to name but a few. Frontline continued its rapid growth and has moved into further Security provision sectors such as Close Protection, Retail, Static, Mobile and Car Park Management.

Since 2001, Frontline has managed a number of facilities based contracts throughout the UK, providing security and general services to a vast array of situations. For example, we provide the security and site management to the Sunbury Cross Park and Shop shopping centre site, which encompasses a number of high street stores, a multi storey car park complex, two blocks of flats and the headquarters of Chubb’s Fire and Alarm Section. We have won contracts for the provision of Security (static, mobile and CCTV) to sites that have fallen into receivership, or undergoing recovery programmes. We provide to some of the major national Supermarket chains as well as a number of Councils at County, Borough and Parish levels, providing a range of services including Outcall Officer Safety Cover, static and mobile security, vehicle parking management, CCTV systems and monitoring. We enjoy very good relations with many Police Forces, in whose areas we operate, and have recently found a number of opportunities, which may see us working alongside Her Majesty’s Prison Service.

The company ethos of best practice and quality assurance throughout has always paid dividends; its customer feedback has always been of the highest level and has meant that the business has been grown through word of mouth and referral.

In the 2002, Frontline has created its own training arm, Frontline Training Solutions. Providing Nationally accredited training for the security and other industry sectors. Operating from it purpose built Training centre in Newquay, Cornwall, Frontline Training Solutions is in an excellent position to provide a premium level of professional training to all its course candidates. It holds Training Centre approval and accreditation under both BTEC-Edexcel and NCFE National awarding bodies.
