 About Us

SGW is an international security consulting company, covering a wide range of market sectors across the world. Find out more about us and how we do it here.

Since 2003, SGW has been providing independent security consultant, safety consultant, risk management, security engineering and CCTV consultant services to the built environment. After a few years of trading, the company has become recognised by many of our peers as one of the leading independent security consultancies in the UK, importantly maintaining our boutique status to be small enough to be readily responsive, if necessary, able to make quick management decisions often needed for fast moving projects, yet large enough with the appropriately qualified human resource to consult on the most complex and demanding of security projects.

Why choose SGW International Security Consulting Company?

Our team of security specialists come from diverse backgrounds, with qualifications and experience in risk assessment and management, physical and technical security, as well as operational security.
