Warehousing in North West and the M62
The North West is one of the UK’s busiest logistics regions, linking the Port of Liverpool and Port Salford with the M6, M62, M56 and M60. Warrington sits at the centre, with large distribution parks such as Omega serving the whole of the North.
Around Manchester, Trafford Park remains one of Europe’s largest industrial estates, while Wigan, St Helens, Knowsley, Widnes and Runcorn host food, retail, manufacturing and e-commerce sites. Many run chilled or ambient operations with tight hygiene standards.
At Sykes Seafood in Warrington, a 168,000 sq ft site packing 350 tonnes of seafood a week, our officers keep a full ingress and egress log, check vehicles and act as banksmen, with patrols through the night. In Wigan, Snuggledown trusts ProFM with security at its manufacturing and distribution site. Read more.

Monitored from day one
Our National Operations Centre checks shifts start on time and tracks patrols and alarms, while mobile response officers cover the M6, M62, M60 and M56 area.
We gave you a trial for the first year, and from there, we’ve never looked back. I can rely on people like Barry and Anthony actually looking after the place like it was their own premises.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover warehouses in North West and the M62?
Yes. We cover warehouses and distribution centres across North West and the M62, including Warrington, Wigan, St Helens, Manchester, Trafford Park, Liverpool, Knowsley, Widnes and Runcorn.
How fast can you respond to an alarm?
Our mobile response officers attend alarm activations in 30 minutes on average, UK-wide. They verify the alarm, search and secure the site, and escalate to the police or your contacts if needed, with a written report after every call-out so you know exactly what happened.
Do you cover Warrington, Trafford Park and the Port of Liverpool area?
Yes. We look after warehouses, food sites and manufacturing plants across Warrington, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Wigan and Cheshire. Our head office and National Operations Centre are in Chorley, Lancashire, so the North West is home ground.
Can you clean food warehouses to BRCGS standards?
Yes. We use food-safe products, follow your hygiene zoning and colour coding, and keep cleaning schedules and quality audit records ready for BRCGS Storage and Distribution audits and your customers’ inspections.
Do you have local officers or do they travel?
We recruit officers close to the sites they work on wherever possible, so you get consistent faces on shift. Mobile response officers cover the wider area for alarms and patrols, and our National Operations Centre oversees every shift.
Can you cover sites in more than one region?
Yes. ProFM Group works across England, Scotland and Wales, so multi-site networks can be covered under one contract and one monthly review, with site-level reporting.
