Alpha Omega Securities Ltd

What Alpha Omega Securities Ltd does

Alpha Omega Securities Ltd is a UK-based private security services company founded in 1997 by Ken Lawton and headquartered in Crewe, Cheshire. It is an SIA Approved Contractor ranked in the top 15% of the ACS Pacesetters scheme, providing manned guarding, CCTV monitoring, alarm response, key holding, mobile patrols, door supervision, event security, drone surveillance, and SIA-approved training courses. The company operates from its Crewe Business Park offices and runs field operations across the North West and Midlands, with named presence in Cheshire, Staffordshire, Nottinghamshire, Lancashire and Ellesmere Port.

The company serves a diversified client base spanning enterprise retail and medical (AO.com, Olympus Medical), mid-market commercial (Smart Fleet Solutions, Cooper Buckley), SME hospitality (Harrison's Café-Bar), and the public sector via Crown Commercial Service framework RM6257 and Nottingham City Council. Its rail (RISQS) and construction (CHAS) accreditations extend its addressable verticals. Service delivery is operationally technology-enabled through CCTV and drone surveillance, but the underlying labour model is fundamentally people-based, with ~200+ staff (referenced up to 230+) deployed on contracted assignments.

Revenue is generated primarily through contracted security officer deployment on hourly and contract billing, supplemented by alarm response subscriptions, event security contracts, and paid SIA training courses. Government framework participation functions as a recurring procurement channel that lowers customer-acquisition friction. The firm was recognised as Business of the Year 2025 by the South Cheshire Chamber of Commerce, reflecting sustained regional standing after more than two decades of operation.
