Yes, through MAC's nationwide network operating to our standards. Whether you're managing three sites or 100+ pubs across the UK, you get the same engineers working under our NSI Gold-certified processes, the same honest pricing, and 24/7 support through our multi-stage call-handling system..
This consistency matters operationally. Co-ordinating multiple security providers across sites means different maintenance schedules, different emergency numbers, different pricing structures, different response times - your admin team reconciling regional variations while you try to keep standards aligned across locations.
MAC removes this complexity. Same call-out charge in Stourbridge or Scotland - no postcode lottery. One emergency number reaches engineers who can dial in remotely to any site, fixing many issues without travel delays. Consistent maintenance standards mean you're not wondering which locations have fallen behind. One contract, one point of accountability, one relationship with engineers who understand your complete operation.
Different sectors have specific security requirements MAC understands thoroughly.
- Hospitality operations often require extended CCTV retention periods (e.g., 180 days where specified).
- Educational facilities require Access Control integration with lockdown alert systems and safeguarding-compliant camera coverage.
- Retail environments benefit from intelligent video analytics preventing theft and monitoring customer flow patterns.
- Industrial sites need perimeter protection integrated with Access Control to prevent unauthorised entry to restricted areas.
MAC’s sector expertise ensures your Security Systems support the compliance expectations and operational needs unique to your business type.
Absolutely. Many organisations tell us they moved to MAC after struggling with slow responses, rising costs or standards drifting over time, with unresolved faults building up and no clear plan to get systems back on track. We specialise in Security System takeovers, getting everything operating the way it should.
Our takeover process starts with a comprehensive system survey identifying existing faults and any compliance gaps or issues that haven’t been addressed. We configure remote access into every system where technically possible, giving us the ability to diagnose and often resolve issues without waiting for an engineer to attend.
Here’s more of the MAC ethos: we keep control panels accessible - no lock-ins or hidden restrictions. If you ever decide to leave, we make it easy. But clients tell us they stay because when you have a security partner who can look into out-of-hours alerts, resolve issues remotely and price work transparently, you stop looking for alternatives.
Martyn’s Law - the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 - is new UK legislation designed to improve how publicly accessible premises and events prepare for, and respond to, the risk of a terrorist attack.
Named after Martyn Hett, who died in the 2017 Manchester Arena attack, the Act became law on 3 April 2025. The government has announced an implementation period of at least 24 months before the new duties come into force.
Who it applies to (under the Act):
- Standard duty premises: where it is reasonable to expect between 200 and 799 people to be present at the same time.
- Enhanced duty premises: where it is reasonable to expect 800 or more people to be present, or certain qualifying events at that scale.
What premises will need to do once the Act is in force:Assess the risk of a terrorist attack, put proportionate public protection procedures in place (evacuation, invacuation, lockdown and communication) and keep these arrangements under review. The focus is on improved preparedness, faster decision-making and better coordination in an emergency.
How Security Systems help:
Professional Security Systems don’t replace your legal duties under Martyn’s Law, but they can support many of the protective measures you’re expected to consider. CCTV (including analytics or ANPR) helps with monitoring and evidential capture, Intruder Alarms highlight unauthorised access, Access Control restricts who can enter sensitive areas, and physical barriers help manage crowd movement and protect vulnerable points.
Used properly, these systems can support earlier threat detection, assist with lockdown or invacuation procedures and improve communication during an incident. Where appropriate, ARC monitoring adds 24/7 oversight that can be built into your wider emergency response plans.
Working towards compliance:
Once the Act is in force, those responsible for premises will be expected to show they have thought about the risk from terrorism and taken proportionate steps in response. Working with accredited providers, ensuring systems are correctly designed, installed and maintained, and integrating your security systems with clear procedures and staff training will all help demonstrate a serious, structured and operationally sound approach to Martyn’s Law
