Artists impression of Gardner Security's new premise

Gardner Security Ltd is a well respected local business and the leading security company in West Sussex.

The company has recently moved to larger premises at 28a Westhampnett Road. It was quite a wrench to leave The Hornet after 25 years but our new home is less than a mile as the crow flies and we're still in Chichester. Nothing else has changed - the whole team is committed to offering a first class service and quality product.

Every company likes to think that they are the best but few can boast of being awarded the NSI (National Security Inspectorate, formerly NACOSS) Gold Medal in recognition of outstanding performance in security management. Only recently, Gardner Security Ltd was judged to be the Best Security Installer at the national Security Excellence Awards in London.

Our greatest strengths are that we tailor-make every one of our systems for the individual customer's needs and lifestyle and we pride ourselves on our attention to detail, providing systems that are efficient, neatly installed and give great value for money.


We have thousands of satisfied customers, including:
  • Chichester Cathedral
  • Chichester City Council
  • Chichester College of Further Education
  • Chichester District Council
  • Geoffrey Osborne Ltd
  • Gosport Ferry Co Ltd
  • John Wiley & Sons Ltd
  • Southern Water Authority
  • Thomas Eggar
  • University College, Chichester
  • Our History

    James Gardner got to know this area well when he was stationed on Thorney Island during his time with the RAF.

    He went on to become a Police Officer with the CID in London, and when he decided to set up his own business in 1980, Chichester was a natural choice for him.

    With some words of wisdom from a friend in the security business and a genuine desire to offer a bona fide, reliable service with integrity, Gardner Security was born.

    He took a lease on 124-126 The Hornet in 1981 (and the company stayed there for 25 years until their recent move to bigger premises at 28a Westhampnett Road). In 1982, his first employee was a part time administrator, in 1983 Barbara Gardner joined him and in 1984, he took on his first apprentice (who still works for us today).

    The business grew largely by personal recommendation, expanding from fitting locks into alarm systems (now our core business) as well when James was asked to install an intruder alarm whilst fitting a lock. Access control, CCTV, fire alarms, safes and all other aspects of security soon followed, along with accreditation by NACOSS (now the NSI), computerisation and quality assurance endorsement.

    We pride ourselves on the good reputation we continue to enjoy with the Police, insurance companies and the local community.
