Quality, integrity and the highest standards of service

A privately-owned business providing high quality security solutions for small and medium-sized businesses and their owners. We offer our services within Chepstow, the Forest of Dean, Bristol, Bath and Trowbridge, as well as the south Cotswolds

Who we are 

Security Group is a privately-owned company, based in Bristol and working across south-west England. We specialise in intruder alarm and fire alarm systems and are registered with the Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB). The business was originally set up by Mike Thomas in 1996 and was family-owned until June 2020 when it was bought by Ecl-ips, a Worcestershire-based company specialising in CCTV, access control and real-time monitoring. Ecl-ips has the same ethos as Security Group, focusing on high-quality products and services delivered by highly-qualified and experienced engineers. Security Group customers will continue to enjoy the high level of service they have received for over 20 years.

SSAIB Certified Company logo

SSAIB Certified

As an SSAIB certified company we ensure we meet the highest standards for our products and service we provide. It also means intruder alarm systems and CCTV systems that are remotely monitored can be assigned a unique reference number (URN) meaning you can have a police response if required.

CCTV Logbook badge

If you have a CCTV system installed by us we want you to be able to manage your CCTV system for the long-term. If you continue with a maintenance contract after the initial 12 months we want to provide the best service we can which is why we offer all of our customers CCTV Logbook. This cloud-based secure portal provides CCTV asset management and document storage.

Additionally if you sign up for CCTV Logbook’s compliance package you will have the peace of mind to know that your CCTV system is compliant in respect of data protection requirements and you are following industry best practice.

How we work

We provide a professional service helping to create continuity and build trust. All of our engineers have been security screened and police vetted providing additional peace of mind. Our experienced engineers will carry out all of the installation work, taking care to cause minimum disruption, they are always careful to plan installations and ensure that they leave your property as they found it.
