Our regional contribution
As a regional employer and security provider, SPS contributes to the communities we serve through employment, training, safety, sustainability and responsible business practices.
Local Employment
SPS directly employs all front-line security officers, mobile patrol drivers, control room operators and management staff. We recruit locally across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, creating stable employment and keeping operational knowledge within the region. Our teams are managed from offices in Hull, Grimsby and Lincoln — not a distant head office.
View current vacanciesTraining & Development
Every SPS officer completes structured induction training, ongoing compliance refreshers and role-specific development covering conflict management, first aid, fire safety, safeguarding and site-specific procedures. We support career progression from officer roles into supervision, management and specialist positions, building capability within the region rather than importing it.

SPS supports local charities, sports clubs, youth organisations and community safety initiatives across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. We believe regional security providers have a responsibility to give back to the communities they serve — through sponsorship, volunteering, partnerships and practical help where it makes a difference.

Professional security helps create safer workplaces, commercial estates, retail parks, schools, public buildings and community spaces. Our officers provide visible deterrence, access control, incident response and reassurance — contributing to environments where people feel safe and businesses can operate with confidence.
See where we operateSustainability
SPS holds ISO 14001 environmental management certification. We reduce operational impact through efficient patrol routing, digital reporting, waste reduction and responsible local delivery. Shorter travel distances from regional bases mean lower emissions and faster response times — a practical benefit of genuinely local security.
Read our sustainability approachCompliance & Responsible Procurement
SPS holds SIA Approved Contractor Status, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, CHAS, SafeContractor, Achilles and BSIA membership. These independently verified credentials support public sector procurement, facilities management tenders and corporate supply chain requirements — giving procurement teams confidence in our standards.
View our accreditationsWhy regional security providers create more local impact
National security companies often deploy officers from outside the area, manage contracts remotely and recycle profits away from the region. A genuinely regional provider like SPS keeps employment, management, training, procurement and investment local — creating a stronger operational model and a more meaningful contribution to the communities we serve.
