About Marvellous
A dedicated team with on-time response
Having attained Approved Contractor status with the Security Industry Authority (SIA) in 2020, Marvellous Security Services grew quickly, supporting some of the world’s and the UK’s largest security providers.
In 2022 we opened a second office in Glasgow to meet increased demand and strengthen our operations nationally. Today we work from offices in Manchester, Glasgow, Nottingham, Belfast and London, with regional offices in Grantham and Widnes.
We are constantly striving to raise standards in the security industry, always looking for new ways to be innovative in a fast-paced sector.
