About Us
Our mission
Founded by Patrikios Andreou, Aspida Security was born out of a desire to raise standards in an industry where ‘good enough’ too often passes for excellence. With decades of experience on the frontline, Patrikios set out to build a team that blends professionalism, presence, and integrity.
The name Aspida—Greek for shield—represents our core principle: to protect with strength, but lead with trust. We are proud to support clients across the UK with smart, reliable, and tailored security services.
Core values
Professionalism: We hold ourselves to the highest standards on every site, every shift.
Responsibility: We take ownership of the role we play in your safety and success.
Adaptability: No two clients are the same—our service reflects that.
Trust: We know security is about more than presence. It’s about peace of mind.
What Sets Us Apart
Clarity, consistency, and care—every detail matters when you’re protecting what matters most.
Trusted by People, Not Just Properties
We don’t just guard spaces—we support the people in them. From construction sites to residential estates and business parks, our guards are trained to be approachable, alert, and adaptable.
Built With Purpose, Grounded in Experience
With years spent securing everything from corporate events to high-risk sites, our founder saw a gap in the market: too many firms relied on undertrained staff and weak communication. Aspida does it differently—starting with the team, and ending with accountability at every level.
Always On Your Side
We’re big enough to deliver, small enough to care. You’ll never be passed from pillar to post—just honest support from people who know your site and your standards.
