Region Security Guarding Deploys Manned Guards To Protect Bristol Temple Quarter

(MENAFN- Market Press Release) September 3, 2026 7:25 am - Region Security Guarding provides expert manned guarding for Bristol's 1.6 billion pound Temple Quarter regeneration, keeping construction sites safe and on track.

Bristol is building a huge new part of the city. It is called the Temple Quarter regeneration. This project costs 1.6 billion pounds. It is the biggest brownfield project in the whole country. Region Security Guarding provides security guards for this project. The guards keep the building sites safe. They stop people who should not be there from getting in. They watch for trouble. They help the builders do their work without worry.

The Temple Quarter covers 135 hectares of land near the centre of Bristol. When it is finished, it will have 10,000 new homes. It will create 22,000 new jobs. The project will add 1.6 billion pounds to the local economy every year. Work is happening right now on many different plots. The University of Bristol is building a new campus. It costs 500 million pounds. It opens in September 2026. There is also a new transport hub coming to Temple Meads station. A company called Kier will start building it later this year. Another big plan from Zaha Hadid Architects will add more homes and shops to the area. The second phase at St Philip's Marsh covers 95 hectares. It will have 7,000 more homes. The masterplan for that part was published in June 2026.

The Risks on Big Building Sites
Building sites have many risks. People try to steal things. They break in at night. They take tools and materials. This costs the builders money. It slows down the work. Sometimes it makes the site unsafe for workers.

What the Data Shows
A 2025 report by BauWatch surveyed 500 construction workers about crime. The report found that 67 out of 100 workers said their site had theft or damage. The same report found that 55 of 100 workers said they experienced theft on their site at least twice a year.

These numbers are high. The Temple Quarter project will last for 25 years. That is a long time. The risk of crime goes up with each new phase. Stolen materials and broken equipment cause delays. They also raise insurance costs. For a project this big, good security is a must. It is not a choice. It is a need.

How Region Security Guarding Keeps Sites Safe
Region Security Guarding sends trained guards to the Temple Quarter sites. These guards have SIA licences. They move around the site. They check visitors. They patrol the area. They handle emergencies fast. The company has SIA Approved Contractor status. They also have ISO 9001:2015 certification for quality.

The company provides many services for building sites like those in Temple Quarter. They include:
Static and manned guarding at doors and gates
Mobile patrols that move across the site
Gatehouse and access control to check who comes in
Keyholding and alarm response for nights and weekends
CCTV monitoring with cameras watched 24 hours a day

The company uses a system called REMS. It tracks guards as they move. Guards check in with QR codes every 45 minutes. The system sends live alerts if something happens. It sends pictures and full reports. It can even include police reference numbers. Clients get instant messages during any critical event. They know what is happening in real time.

Past Work on Big Projects
Region Security Guarding has worked on big projects before. The company has 11 years of experience. They worked with British Steel. They provided long-term security and patrols for that site. They also worked with Wex, a European steel maker. They provided high-standard guarding to that company too.

In construction, they worked with Brendoncare. They secured building sites and residential places. They worked with LNC Property Developments. They provided tailored security for their property work. The company holds Constructionline Silver Member status. This means they are pre-qualified for construction work. They understand what building sites need. They know how to manage vehicles at gates. They know how to stop theft of expensive materials. Their guards are ready for active building sites.

Security Needs Across Bristol
The Temple Quarter is not the only place in Bristol that needs security. Crime is a problem in the city. As of January 2026, the crime rate in Bristol is 9.5 crimes for every 1000 people. Shoplifting is high. There were 9.1 thousand shoplifting offences. Public order crimes were 11.5 thousand as of February 2026.

Big building sites have valuable tools and materials. This makes them a target. The BauWatch report said 31 out of 100 workers said stolen goods go into underground networks. This makes professional guards very important for a project like Temple Quarter.

Region Security Guarding works in many sectors across Bristol. They protect shops. They work with Bristol Sweet Mart to stop shoplifting. They work with Avon Pharmacy for retail security. They guard healthcare places like East Trees Health Centre. They work with student housing providers like The Student Housing Company. They also work with Oakapple Group for residential building security. This wide experience helps them understand different security needs. They use the same high standards everywhere.
