About the Client

Jones Skips has been a familiar name across the West Midlands since 1998. What started as a local skip hire company has grown into one of the region’s largest independent waste management providers, serving commercial, industrial, construction, and residential customers.

Their main compound in Wolverhampton is where the action happens. It’s a busy site with storage warehouses, processing units, offices, and a fleet of vehicles including HGVs and skips. As a Waste Transfer Station handling everything from commercial waste to hazardous materials, this isn’t just any industrial site it’s one that carries serious regulatory and environmental responsibilities.

Understanding the Security Challenges

Running a waste management facility comes with its own set of risks, and Jones Skips knew they needed to take security seriously.

The site faced several genuine threats:

  • Expensive equipment theft: HGVs, skips, and machinery are valuable and attractive to criminals
  • Unauthorised access: With vehicles and people coming and going constantly, keeping track of who’s on site was a real headache
  • Out-of-hours vulnerabilities: Like most industrial sites, the compound was most exposed when operations stopped for the day
  • Hazardous materials: Any security breach involving waste materials could have serious consequences for the environment and public safety

On top of these physical risks, Jones Skips had regulatory boxes to tick. As a FORS-accredited operator, they needed to demonstrate a commitment to safety and operational excellence. And with SIA standards to meet, any security partner had to be fully licensed and professionally trained.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. They needed more than a guard at the gate; they needed a security partner who understood their industry inside out.

Our Solution

We’ve been working with Jones Skips at their Wolverhampton site since January 2022, and from day one, our approach was built around their specific needs. 

A visible presence that makes a difference

Our SIA-licensed Manned Guards are stationed at all crucial access points within the compound. They do not stand guard merely for the sake of being present but actually control access and check people’s credentials and IDs, and keep track of all vehicles and persons entering and exiting the area. 

Eyes on site, 24/7

Their compound is equipped with several CCTV cameras, which are constantly monitored by us from our control room. Thus, the site is permanently under surveillance even during times when the guards are not there physically.

Technology that keeps everyone accountable

Our guards use the REMS Guard Tracking System, completing QR code check-ins at different points across the site every 45 minutes. This isn’t just about tracking patrols; it gives Jones Skips real-time visibility into what’s happening on their site. If there’s an incident, they get live alerts, images, and full reports with police references if needed.

Local knowledge matters

We are operational throughout all of the UK counties, which enabled us to act quickly and send guards familiar with the West Midlands region. Being local is an advantage as our guards are aware of the local community and know the challenges of guarding a site in Wolverhampton.
