Logistics & Industrial facilities and security services

Allied Force Group supports warehouses, distribution centres and industrial sites where the building runs long hours and traffic never really stops. Work is planned around shift patterns and vehicle movement, with access, permits and safe working arrangements agreed before attendance rather than negotiated at the gate.

Sites that never fully stop. Cover is built around shift changes, gatehouse flow and vehicle movements, so attendance fits the operation instead of interrupting it.

What matters on these estates

Shift-aligned cover

Cleaning, patrols and reactive attendance scheduled against real shift patterns.

Gate and yard control

Visitor, driver and contractor management with a clear written record of movements.

Plant and fabric uptime

Planned maintenance on loading equipment, doors, lighting and building fabric.

How we run it

Built around the shift pattern

Rosters and attendance are set against real shift changes and peak dispatch windows, so cleaning, patrols and engineering work land in the gaps rather than across the busiest hours.

Control at the gate

Driver, visitor and contractor management is run to a written process, with movements recorded so there is an account of who was on site and when.

Keeping the operation moving

Dock levellers, roller shutters, high-bay lighting and yard surfaces carry most of the downtime risk on these sites, so they sit at the front of the PPM schedule rather than being handled reactively, with task content aligned to SFG20 schedules where they apply.

Questions buyers ask

Logistics & Industrial facilities questions

How is maintenance planned on a site that runs continuously?

Planned work is booked into shift changeovers or quieter periods, and disruptive tasks are programmed with the site team in advance so operations and vehicle movement are not interrupted.

What security arrangements suit a distribution site?

Gatehouse and access control, patrols and keyholding are common, coordinated with the way vehicles and people actually move around the site rather than applied as a generic pattern.

Is high-level and specialist cleaning available?

High-level cleaning, floor scrubbing and welfare-area cleaning are typical on industrial sites, planned with the access equipment and permits the task requires.

How are safe working arrangements handled?

RAMS are reviewed and permits arranged before attendance, so work in traffic routes, at height or on live systems is authorised in writing. The scope and delivery arrangements for a specific site are confirmed following a site review.
