OUR GROUP COMPANIES
Metroguard Oxford is the foundation of the Metroguard Group, serving clients nationwide from our head office in London. Established to bring a higher standard of professionalism and consistency to the security industry, Metroguard Oxford continues to embody the group’s core values of integrity, reliability, and service excellence.
Across the UK, we specialise in providing tailored security solutions to the hospitality, leisure, and retail sectors, where presentation, discretion, and guest experience are as important as safety itself. Our teams are trained to blend seamlessly into high-end environments, from luxury hotels and private members’ clubs to prestigious retail stores and event venues.
Our strength lies in building security teams that align with your culture, becoming part of your operation rather than standing apart from it. Every officer is carefully selected through rigorous vetting, trained to deliver service that reflects your brand standards, and supported by proactive management to ensure consistency, professionalism, and accountability.
At Metroguard, we don’t just protect properties, we protect reputations, ensuring every client interaction is secure, respectful, and on brand.

As the home of the group’s 24/7 control room and CCTV monitoring centre, Gated Metro provides real-time oversight, rapid response, and a constant line of communication for clients nationwide. This central hub enhances accountability, coordination, and peace of mind, ensuring every site benefits from the same high level of attention and control.

From luxury hospitality venues and flagship retail stores to large-scale events and corporate environments, we provide protection that is professional, personable, and perfectly aligned with each client’s brand and operational needs.
Our strength lies in combining local expertise with the high standards, training, and operational structure of the wider Metroguard Group.
This ensures that every Metroguard Ireland officer operates with the same professionalism, consistency, and accountability our clients expect across the UK and beyond.
What truly sets us apart is our partnership-driven approach. We don’t simply supply security, we integrate with your team, your culture, and your goals. Our officers are carefully selected not only for their experience and professionalism but for their ability to communicate clearly, build trust, and adapt seamlessly to each environment.
