Heras Perimeter Protection Ltd

What Heras Perimeter Protection Ltd does

Heras Perimeter Protection Ltd (Heras UK) is the United Kingdom operating entity of the Heras Group, a pan-European perimeter protection provider headquartered at Apex Building, 1 Water Vole Way, Doncaster (DN4 5JP). The company designs, manufactures, installs, and services perimeter security solutions for enterprise and public-sector buyers, organized around four product categories: Demarcation (welded mesh fencing, railings, noise barriers); Entrance Control (sliding, swing and bi-fold gates, turnstiles, barriers, road blockers, bollards, and electronic access control); Detection (fence mounted detection, free space detection, and electric fence / PIDS perimeter intrusion detection systems); and Integrated Systems (camera systems and IT integration). Service & Maintenance is sold as a packaged, subscription-style offering with 24/7 support, spare parts, and a digital remote-monitoring layer branded Smart Service Connect.

The business is run on an enterprise field-sales motion: pricing is not publicly disclosed, with free consultation and quote requests as the entry point, and dedicated go-to-market pages for vertical segments — Transport & Logistics, Manufacturing & Industry, Critical Infrastructure & Utilities, Public Places & Recreation, and Retail & Trade — plus a parallel specification channel through architects and consultants supported by CPD training and a proprietary Heras Security Model assessment methodology. Named enterprise customers include Porsche, Tesla, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, DHL, DP World, DPD, BP, Heineken, Tesco, Lidl, Scottish Water, Veolia, Mars, Schiphol Group, Lineage, and construction firms Tarmac, Farrans, and Morrison Construction; the group claims 20,000+ customers worldwide across at least 11 European countries (UK, Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Luxembourg) plus an export channel.

Revenue is generated across four streams — hardware product sales, recurring Service & Maintenance contracts (annual cadence), professional services (consulting, installation, integration, CPD training), and spare parts — with CE and UKCA product certifications supporting tendering into regulated buyers. The company maintains ESG, Gender Pay Reporting, and Anti-Slavery policies on its UK site, and operates active careers, customer stories, and social channels (LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter). No revenue, headcount, funding, M&A, or leadership data is disclosed in the input, and the reported headcount of 6 and the secondary website reference appear to be data-quality artifacts inconsistent with the disclosed operational footprint.
