What ATG Access does

ATG Access is a UK-based manufacturer of hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) and physical security products, founded in 1991 and headquartered in Haydock, England. The company designs, crash-tests, and produces bollards, barriers, road blockers, impact-tested gates, and surface-mounted temporary systems certified to international standards including BSI PAS 68, ISO IWA 14-1, ISO 22343, and ASTM F2656. Its product portfolio spans three tiers — residential (removable/telescopic bollards from £356), commercial (fixed bollards, cycle stands, traffic management systems), and crash-rated HVM (automatic, fixed, removable, shallow-mount, and manually retractable bollards, plus beam barriers, road blockers, and bridge protection) — complemented by services including technical consultation, project management, electrical commissioning, aftersales maintenance, and bespoke design and certification.

The company serves six primary verticals: Transport Infrastructure (airports, rail), Public Spaces and Venues (stadiums, shopping centres, hotels), Critical National Infrastructure (embassies, power plants, data centres), Event Security, Private Business, and Residential. Documented flagship installations include Jewel Changi Airport, Anne Frank Museum, The Shard, Arsenal Emirates Stadium, St Pancras, LAX, British Embassies in The Hague and Athens, Palm Jumeirah Boardwalk, and Fort Canning Park Singapore.

ATG Access generates revenue through three streams: hardware sales (bollards, barriers, gates, road blockers, spare parts), professional services (consultation, project management, commissioning, maintenance, bespoke design), and an e-commerce/retail channel for standard products. Distribution runs through direct enterprise field sales with dedicated project managers, an approved installer network across the UK (Stadium, Crowdguard, The Bollard Man, Bollard Security, Secure Driveway Solutions), and direct online purchasing for residential and small-commercial customers. The company operates in over 40 countries, holds ISO 9001/14001/45001 plus Constructionline Gold, RISQS, TOPAS, and Gate Safe certifications, and received sole institutional backing from LDC (Lloyds Development Capital) in 2013.
