Quality, integrity and the highest standards of service
A privately-owned business providing high quality security services to private individuals and businesses throughout the South West.
Who we are
Security Group is a privately-owned company, based in Bristol and working across south-west England. We specialise in intruder alarm and fire alarm systems and are registered with the Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB). The business was originally set up by Mike Thomas in 1996 and was family-owned until June 2020 when it was bought by Ecl-ips, a Worcestershire-based company specialising in CCTV, access control and real-time monitoring. Ecl-ips has the same ethos as Security Group, focusing on high-quality products and services delivered by highly-qualified and experienced engineers. Security Group customers will continue to enjoy the high level of service they have received for over 20 years.
Who we work with
We can provide a comprehensive range of security services to a wide range of customers in Bristol and across south-west England including the public sector, commercial offices, NHS Trust sites, schools, shops and restaurants as well as thousands of private home owners. Customers frequently recommend us to colleagues, friends and family and our business has grown largely through referral – you can read some of the great customer feedback we get on our website.

As an SSAIB certified company we ensure we meet the highest standards for our products and service we provide. It also means intruder alarm systems and CCTV systems that are remotely monitored can be assigned a unique reference number (URN) meaning you can have a police response if required.
If you have a CCTV system installed by us we want you to be able to manage your CCTV system for the long-term. If you continue with a maintenance contract after the initial 12 months we want to provide the best service we can which is why we offer all of our customers CCTV Logbook.
