About Us

Established in Cardiff in 2018, Overt is a family-run company providing security and facilities management nationwide across the UK — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

We deliver manned guarding, door supervision, concierge, fire marshals, mobile patrols, keyholding and alarm response, CCTV and wireless detection, and commercial cleaning.

Overt means done or shown openly; plainly apparent. We built the company on that meaning: clear pricing, clear communication, and an infrastructure that allows real-time visibilit— — from incident reporting to patrol logs and on-site tasks. Full visibility is what makes us Overt.

Our Systems
This is what makes the nationwide model work.

We built our systems so every contract runs to the same stand—rd — the same briefing, the same response, the same live r—cord — whether it is one site or a portfolio across the UK. Security and facilities sit in the same operation, so a client is not handed between firms for guarding, concierge, waking watch or cleaning.

Real-time visibility is the backbone of that model:
  • Incident reports, patrol logs and on-site tasks visible as they are completed
  • One method for booking, deploying and checking a shift, on every site
  • People and technology planned together, so cover is neither wasted nor short
  • A named account contact, with director involvement on complex work
That infrastructure is how the service stays consistent as the work grows. It is how the client sees the job being done.

Officers are SIA licensed. SafeContractor independently tests our health and safety, training and risk controls. ISO 14001 independently tests how we manage our environmental impact. We stay current with the requirements of the Security Industry Authority.

That is the standard for every client. It is also why we can work with organisations that require a higher level of scrutiny, including Cardiff Council, Vale of Glamorgan Council and Ringley Group.
Why Overt?

Social value and local employment

Staff are employed locally to the contract, SIA licensed where required, trained to one standard, and supervised on the same live system as e—ery other site — patrol logs, incident reports and on-site tasks visible as they happen.
The community keeps the jobs. The client keeps the record. Supervision stays close to the work.

That is the social value: local employment that lasts, and a standard that can be checked.


High Standards

The vision

Overt was built to be the leading security and facilities management company of its kind: nationwide reach, local accountability, and a standard that lasts.

A regulated, accredited operator that stays current with the Security Industry Authority, and that can take a single site or a UK-wide portfolio without the service changing.

That adaptability, and the infrastructure behind it, is what has made Overt one of the leading security and facilities companies in the UK — a known solution for clients who need cover they can see and keep.
