Security Solutions Ltd

What Security Solutions Ltd does

Security Solutions (Northern) Ltd, trading as Security Solutions GB, is a UK-based manufacturer and installer of physical perimeter-security equipment founded in 2003 and headquartered in Bolton, Lancashire. The company designs, fabricates, and commissions turnstiles (including the LPCB LPS1175 SR3-rated SSHSTS 3000), sliding, swing, bi-folding, and pedestrian security gates, automatic rising-arm and manual traffic barriers, fixed and rising bollards (including shallow-mount crash-tested variants), and shallow-mount and sunk-in crash-rated road blockers. All products are manufactured in-house at the Bolton facility using SolidWorks 3D design and conventional CAD, with the company holding Made in Britain designation. The portfolio is LPCB, BSi PAS68:2010, CPNI, ISO 9001, CHAS, DHF, UKAS, Safe Contractor, and Achilles accredited, and the SSHSTS 3000 holds the world's first SR2 security rating for a stadium turnstile door, installed at West Ham United's Olympic Park stadium.

The company operates a direct field-sales go-to-market across the UK, employing 21 staff and serving commercial, industrial, education, logistics, sports/entertainment, and government/critical infrastructure customers — including DB Schenker, Thames Water, London Fire Brigade, Greater Manchester Police, the Highways Agency, and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time hardware sales of custom-engineered products, professional installation by in-house engineers, and recurring service & maintenance contracts structured into Magenta (24/7 with 4-hour response), White, and Blue tiers with 24/7 emergency callout. Recent strategic activity — NDA Supply Chain Charter membership, new HVM product launches, and Martyn's Law-aligned content — suggests ongoing extension into nuclear decommissioning and regulated critical-infrastructure verticals, though the business remains UK-only and reliant on project-based demand rather than disclosed recurring revenue.

Direct peers

• Cova Security Gates: UK manufacturer of automatic security gates, barriers, and turnstiles. Direct competitor in sliding/swing gate and rising barrier segments with similar mid-market UK installer positioning.
• Frontier Pitts: UK-based manufacturer and installer of security gates, bollards, road blockers, and barriers. Head-to-head competitor on most of Security Solutions' core product lines with a similar UK-only B2B installer model.
• Jacksons Fencing: UK manufacturer of perimeter fencing and security gates. Overlaps on security fencing, pedestrian gates, and sliding gates, with a similar UK manufacturing footprint and channel approach.
• ATG Access: UK manufacturer of hostile vehicle mitigation bollards, road blockers, and gates. Closest direct competitor — Security Solutions' Commercial Manager Ray Barnett was previously Commercial Manager at ATG Access, and product portfolios overlap heavily on crash-rated bollards and road blockers.
• Magnetic AutoControl: German manufacturer of vehicle barriers, gates, and pedestrian access control equipment. Comparable on rising arm barriers (competes with Security Solutions' SSB8000 Eco) and perimeter gate products with a similar mid-sized specialist profile.
• Heald Ltd: Yorkshire-based manufacturer of fixed and retractable bollards, road blockers, and hostile vehicle mitigation systems. Direct competitor in the certified HVM niche, particularly on crash-rated bollards where both companies hold PAS68-class certifications.

Regional players

• Delta Scientific: US manufacturer of vehicle access control equipment including bollards, barriers, and crash-rated gates. Comparable on certified HVM products (PAS68/IWA equivalent ratings) but operates exclusively in the Americas market.
• Nasatka Security: US-based manufacturer of high-security barriers, bollards, and crash-rated vehicle control systems. Comparable product set on HVM bollards and barriers but serves primarily North American federal and critical infrastructure customers.

Broad incumbents

• Boon Edam: Dutch-headquartered global manufacturer of security turnstiles, revolving doors, and entrance solutions. Competes with Security Solutions' full-height and half-height turnstile lines as part of a much broader portfolio of pedestrian access products.
• Automatic Systems: Belgian/French manufacturer of pedestrian and vehicle access control equipment including turnstiles, gates, and bollards. Direct product overlap on turnstiles and traffic barriers but operates as a much larger multi-national incumbent.
