The Keyholding Company is now Forcefield. A security company that elevates how physical security gets done.
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, making security sharp, not just safe.
Why the change
The old name described one service. The new name describes who we are today. We started out holding keys in London. Over the years we’ve expanded to offer a range of security services nationwide, layering in technology and data insight to do it better. Today, as Forcefield, we’re a physical security company that delivers over 1 million jobs a year across risk consultancy, mobile security, guarding, vacant property protection and systems. Technology runs through every service, and it all comes together on one security management platform.
“We have a great story to tell here about the difference we can make to the security industry. It starts with making sure every client is confident that their security is in the right place, doing the right job and at the right cost.”
What elevating physical security means
Our mission is to change how people think about security, from high cost, low impact grudge purchase, to a provably effective, strategic advantage. We understand that the answer is not necessarily more security. It is a clearer view of the security you already have, and the information needed to improve it.
“When leaders can demonstrate the rationale and results of their approach, and the people on the ground have the insight to act, security becomes something you can plan around. That’s a significant shift for the industry.”
The story behind the name
Our inspiration for the Forcefield name was an invisible barrier that keeps chaos out through sharp technology. It works quietly and deliberately in the background, present and effective without being intrusive, because that's exactly what excellent security looks like.
Our new logo carries the same idea. The oval represents the protective layer we provide for our clients. The square cut into its centre reflects the sharp service delivery and technology we provide through it.
Every service in one view
For many organisations, security has been built service by service, leaving fragmented systems and limited visibility into what value each element brings. We bring every service online and into one view, so you can see the bigger picture.
An approach built around your objectives
Everyone’s estate has different challenges. We start with your risk and what you need to achieve, then recommend services that fit and adjust them as your picture changes. No more guesswork. You’ll have the data to back every decision.
That clarity changes how you spend. We help you pinpoint where your spend needs to be directed, so you can protect what matters most and reduce wastage. And because we’re not tied to deploying our own resources, our recommendations are impartial by design.
That’s how we’re tackling security’s reputation problem. Spend that goes where it’s needed, results you can measure and security that lives up to its promise.
