Sykes Seafood

Of course, while the brand speaks for itself in terms of its prowess and industry standing, Sykes naturally face substantial issues when it comes to safety and security. Chief among those is the risk of criminals and trespassers – a massive concern given that the site sees an astronomical 350 tonnes of seafood packed each week.

Statistics on criminality in the logistics and distribution sector only confirm that further, with cargo theft alone costing in excess of £250 million every year. Sykes occupies a difficult spot in that, too, with food supply chain thefts rising by 29% over the last year of data.

That’s just the surface-level issues. Sykes’s huge output naturally means that there’s likely to be substantial traffic – both foot and vehicle – all of which needs to be effectively, efficiently and professionally checked in and out. Couple that with out-of-hours coverage and patrols of their expansive facilities, and it’s clear why Sykes needed a solution as robust and adaptable as the business itself.

Our partnership with Sykes began over a year ago, and since then, we’ve continually provided a service that not only exceeds their expectations but also allows for the smoother and more effective running of their deliveries. Our gatehouse officers have quickly become an integral part of the team and have developed a strong bond with those working on-site.

That’s all at their cutting-edge processing and packing facility in Warrington – an impressive 168,000 square foot facility that could’ve proven to be a challenge to those who wouldn’t take the same approach as us.

With 2025 now well underway and the challenging summer months on the horizon, ProFM are poised to continue delivering that exceptional security, and keeping Sykes’ seafood enterprise safe, secure and flowing.
