When budgeting for security, one of the most common questions we receive is: "How much does it cost to hire a security guard?" The answer depends on several factors including the type of security required, the location, the duration of the contract, and the specific skills needed (e.g., K9 handling or medical training).
On average, standard manned guarding rates in the UK can vary, but it is crucial to remember that unusually low rates often mean compromised quality or non-compliance with SIA regulations. Investing in a reputable, ACS-accredited provider like SQS Security ensures you get reliable, trained professionals who truly protect your assets.
