A front desk post that combines security with professionalism
The front desk is often one of the main access points into a building, making clear visitor and access procedures important. At OWL Guarding UK Ltd, we provide front desk security guards for commercial buildings, offices, healthcare premises and other organisations requiring a professional security presence at reception. From our base in Sutton, we provide front desk security across London, with duties that can include visitor sign-in, contractor checks, delivery procedures, ID checks and monitoring agreed access points. The aim is to maintain a professional entrance while supporting the security procedures established for your premises.
Cover shaped around your reception routine
Some front desk posts primarily require visitor management and access control, while others involve a wider security brief across entrances, contractors, deliveries and agreed building procedures. With OWL Guarding UK Ltd, we discuss the operating hours, responsibilities, access requirements and reporting procedures before agreeing the guarding arrangement. Rates are charged per hour according to the duties and level of risk involved. Where a reception or entrance post carries greater responsibility, personnel can be matched to the experience and requirements of the role.
