He served as an RAF Police officer before founding Risk Secured, and every Nottingham contract is personally overseen by him — not delegated to a regional account manager who has never visited your site.
David knows the Lace Market, Beeston, Arnold and the ring road industrial corridors at a level that matters for security planning. That’s not a marketing line — it’s the reason our Nottingham clients stay.
Straight advice, no sales pitch: we’ll recommend only what your site actually needs.

City centre offices, HQs and multi-occupier commercial buildings across Nottingham. Concierge security, access management and front-of-house officer provision.
Public sector & housing
Councils, housing associations and public sector bodies across Nottinghamshire that need reliable, compliant officers with clean vetting records and strong community communication.
Yes. Every officer we deploy holds a current SIA Security Guard or Door Supervisor licence and is vetted to BS 7858, the British Standard for security personnel screening. You can check any officer’s licence on the SIA register. Licence records are checked before every deployment and our compliance records are open for your inspection.
We cover Nottingham city centre, the Lace Market, Beeston, Arnold, Carlton, Hucknall, Gedling, Long Eaton and business parks and industrial estates across Nottinghamshire. If your site is in Nottinghamshire and you’re not sure whether we cover it, call 0121 751 9038 and ask — we will tell you honestly.
Every Nottingham contract is overseen directly by senior management, led by Managing Director David Foster, who was born and raised in the city. Officers are vetted, licensed and briefed for your site before their first shift, and every patrol, check and incident is logged live on DOB·Live, so you can see exactly what’s happening at any time.
Yes. We secure vacant commercial property across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, with tailored inspections, made-to-measure steel screens and doors, and CCTV towers with live remote viewing. Every inspection is documented with time-stamped photos, so you have the records your insurer expects.
A rapid-deploy CCTV tower is usually the right choice for open sites, construction compounds, car parks and vacant land where a full-time officer is not cost-effective but a visible deterrent and evidenced monitoring are essential. Our towers are solar-powered, ANPR-capable and can be deployed within 24 hours. Many Nottingham clients use a combination: a guard during the day and a CCTV tower overnight.
In many cases, yes. Insurers see a documented security presence — SIA-licensed officers, body-worn cameras, live DOB·Live reporting — as materially reducing the risk of theft, vandalism and liability claims. We provide full shift reports exportable directly to your insurer. Speak to your broker about what they require and we will make sure your contract covers it.
