Ambika Security
Property Security
I serve as the Managing Director of Ambika Security, a family-run enterprise established in 1988. Our genesis was as the primary security provider for the Crown Estate. By the early 1990s, we expanded our reach into the broader property and construction domains. Today, our clients include construction firms, developers, the NHS, and various Borough Councils. A majority of the properties in our care are vacant, typically awaiting refurbishment or slated for demolition and redevelopment.
Our operational footprint spans London, extending to the Midlands in the North and touching the South coast.
Our suite of services cover: manned security, SIA-accredited personnel. Additionally, we offer a Property Guardian service for contracts with lower risk profiles. For the uninitiated, a Property Guardian is an individual provided with affordable, flexible shared living quarters in exchange for safeguarding vacant properties against potential threats like squatters and vandalism. For higher-risk contracts, we deploy security solutions with dog handlers.
I also spearhead Project Basecamp, a social impact initiative focused on housing low priority single homeless. I encourage you to explore our website. I'm always eager to engage in conversations about potential collaborations, or if you have insights or available properties that could benefit those less privileged in society, it would be great to hear from you.
