Parallel Security is pleased to be a trusted security provider working in conjunction with North Wales Police, local councils, partner agencies, and licensed premises. This means that we are continuously involved in various ongoing safety and security projects.

In support of the ‘Safer Streets’ project we deploy fully trained Street Marshalls who work throughout the night assisting the Police in ensuring that public safety is a priority for those feeling vulnerable or threatened during their night out.

It never stops at Parallel Security!

We’re expanding!

With our head office in Mold, we’re now expanding with offices in Coventry and Lichfield after taking over Oakwood Security Solutions.

Parallel was established in 2014 and specialises in a range of security solutions including site security, mobile patrol, key holding, events and training. Our key sectors include construction, healthcare, hospitality and leisure, and retail.

Our Managing Director Francis Johnson said,

"The majority of our clients are in North Wales, North West England and, increasingly, the Midlands.”

"The acquisition of Oakwood Security Solutions, which specialises in key holding and manned guarding, is a strategic move to enable us to capitalise on our growth in the region and further increase our footprint.”

"It will also provide us with an excellent base from which to offer our full suite of training solutions for security professionals.”

"We are delighted to welcome the Oakwood staff into the Parallel team, and we anticipate there being further recruitment across the various divisions of our business over the coming months."

Parallel Security holds the Security Industry Authority's prestigious Approved Contractor Status, accrediting it to provide manned guarding, key holding and door supervision. We are also a Highfield accredited training centre.

Our success has been recognised by the Welsh Government which includes Parallel Security on its Accelerated Growth Programme (AGP) aimed at supporting some of Wales’ most promising businesses.

We’re very happy to have installed a new 5 camera CCTV system at our stunning local Llangollen Railway.

The benefits of having a permanent CCTV security system in place means that sites are constantly monitored, and recorded footage can be viewed in real time as well as played back later - increasing security and providing a deterrent.

Whilst on duty Saturday night; our team of Street Marshals disposed over 20 broken glasses helping to reduce the amount of potential weapons and health and safety risks in Wrexham Town Centre.

Our team also came across a deadly 27cm long lock knife, which had been left near a shop entrance. The knife was carefully picked up and the team who then radioed the find into North Wales Police.

As our team already work with North Wales Police, they responded within minutes to take the weapon away to be destroyed.

Neither the Police or our Street Marshalls could work out whether this knife had been left for someone to use or hopefully by someone who had decided to dispose of the weapon due to the famous Knife Angel still towering over Wrexham Town Centre.

Either way, a great job by all and the streets of Wrexham continue to become safer for everyone.

We’re delighted to have another happy security systems customer receiving a brand new barrier and access control system for their new holiday resort in North Wales.

The system is completely automated and uses ANPR to allow guests to come and go as they please. The use of ANPR - Automated Number Plate Recognition - enables efficient, ticketless exit and entry and promotes security.
