We elevate how physical security gets done, making it sharp, not just safe. Forcefield, formerly The Keyholding Company, blends sharp technology with genuine operational expertise.
We are on a mission to change security.
Security has a reputation problem. It’s expensive, hard to measure and doesn’t always live up to its promise. We’re here to change that. With the right technology and operational expertise, we help clients shift security from a grudge purchase to a provably effective, strategic advantage.
Four principles shape every decision we make, from the services we recommend to the partners we work with.
Security suffers from fragmented suppliers, software and reports. When the data isn’t clear, trust is lost. Every service we deliver runs through our platform, which highlights the trends, patterns and issues that need action. You get the full picture, not the edited highlights.

From London keyholding specialist to nationwide full-service security company powered by our own technology, we’ve come a long way. In that time we’ve picked up awards, mobilised some of the largest mobile security contracts in the market and set the standard on data and reporting.
The Keyholding Company is founded as a specialist in keyholding and alarm response, giving businesses and homeowners a safer alternative to sending their own staff or family to alarms.
We build a national network of accredited partners, so we can respond to alarms and patrol sites across the UK without owning every vehicle or employing every officer.
We launch our own platform. For the first time, every job, report and partner’s performance sits in one place that clients can see in real time.
We mobilise 7,000 sites for BT in 12 weeks, proving that our network and platform can deliver at national scale, at speed, for one of the UK’s most critical national infrastructure estates.
We become a certified B Corp, bringing our ESG initiatives together and committing to high standards for our people, partners and communities.
We grow beyond mobile security into guarding, systems, monitoring and risk consultancy, all delivered and reported through the same platform.
The Keyholding Company becomes Forcefield. A new name for a full-service security company, built on sharp technology, an accredited partner network and expert people.
The numbers behind the story of a full-service security company. Here’s what that looks like today.
Our own teams and a network of accredited service partners deliver security services across the UK. Every job is managed and reported through our platform, so the picture of each client’s estate gets sharper with every visit.
We see a future where every security leader knows their budget is invested where it has the most impact on their risks.
Where they have real-time insight that makes a tangible difference to the safety of their estate. Where every service shares data to build a clearer picture of what’s really happening on the ground. That’s the future we’re building, and we’re looking for people to build it with us.
