The uniform is part of the job
In most trades, uniform is identification. In security it does more than that. A visibly uniformed officer is easier to find in a crowd, easier to take seriously in a difficult conversation, and easier for the public to distinguish from someone simply getting involved. Presentation is not vanity here, it is part of how the role works.
Authority at a glance
Clean lines, consistent colours and clear branding read as official. Mismatched kit reads as improvised.
Long shifts, standing
Comfort over eight to twelve hours matters more than in trades where the day varies. Fabric and fit do the work.
Indoor and outdoor in one shift
A door team goes from a warm venue to a cold pavement repeatedly. Layers that come on and off quickly beat one heavy coat.
The security kit list
What most security firms end up standardising on, across static guarding, door supervision, events and mobile patrol.
Branded polo shirts
The base of almost every security uniform. Smart, easy to launder, easy to reorder for new starters. See polos and t-shirts.
Softshell jackets
The workhorse layer. Smart enough for a venue door, windproof enough for a car park, and the usual home for back branding.
Hi-vis outer layers
For events, traffic management, car parks and construction site guarding. See hi-vis workwear.
Waterproof jackets
Static outdoor posts mean standing in whatever the weather does. Breathability matters over a long shift.
Fleeces & mid layers
The middle layer for winter night shifts, worn under the outer or on its own indoors.
Smart trousers
Cargo or plain, depending on how formal the contract expects the team to look. Comfort over long standing shifts is the priority.
Footwear
Standing all shift. Comfort and grip come first, with safety-rated options where the site requires them. See work footwear.
Caps & beanies
Branded headwear for outdoor posts and event crews, and another visible surface for the company name.
Base layers
Thermal base layers make a bigger difference than a heavier coat for anyone stood still outdoors in winter.
Branding and identification
Security uniform branding usually has to do two jobs at once: identify the individual and identify the company. That normally means several marks on the same garment rather than one.
SECURITY across the back
Large, high-contrast text readable at distance. This is what tells a member of the public who to approach.
Company logo on the chest
Left chest, embroidered. Identifies which firm the officer works for, close up. See embroidered workwear.
Individual name or number
Right chest, opposite the logo. Useful for accountability and for the officer being addressed by name.
Consistency across the team
Same placement, same size, same colours on everyone. Our logo placement guide helps you decide once and stick to it.
SIA licensing rules govern how licences are displayed and what may be worn. Check any wording or insignia you plan to put on uniform against current SIA guidance and your own contract requirements before ordering, and we will produce exactly what you specify.
Kitting out a team that turns over
Security has higher staff turnover than most sectors, and event work often means scaling a team up for a weekend and back down again. That changes what a sensible uniform programme looks like.
No minimum order matters here
Being able to order one polo for one new starter, branded to match, is worth more in this sector than almost any other.
Keep a small buffer
Holding a few common sizes in stock means a new officer can start on Monday rather than waiting on a delivery.
Standardise the spec
Write the uniform down once so every reorder matches. Our uniform policy guide covers what belongs in that document.

Common questions
Can I order a single uniform for one new officer?
Yes. There is no minimum order, and because we keep your logo setup on file, a single polo will match exactly what the rest of the team already wears.
Can you put SECURITY on the back and our logo on the front?
Yes, that is the standard security setup. Large back text plus an embroidered chest logo, and a name or number on the right chest if you want it.
What works best for door teams in winter?
A thermal base layer under a branded polo, with a softshell or waterproof outer that comes off easily indoors. Layers beat one heavy coat when you are in and out all night.
Do you supply hi-vis for event stewarding?
Yes. Event and traffic work usually specifies a hi-vis class. Tell us what the contract requires and we will supply to it. Classes are explained in our hi-vis regulations guide.
Can we have different colours for different roles?
Yes, and many firms do it to distinguish supervisors from officers or stewards. Our workwear colour guide covers making that work without the team looking disjointed.
