ABOUT US
The journey of Doyle Security Ltd spans over four decades a story rooted in
resilience, innovation, and a deep commitment to protecting people and property
across the UK.
Founded in January 1985 as Shaun Doyle Security Services, the company began in
Barnsley, South Yorkshire, providing door supervision and related security services
for local publicans. Shaun Doyle, a former boxer who trained at his own gym, The
Junction Inn, brought together a unique team of retired boxers and former coal
miners many of whom had lost their jobs during the 1984–85 miners’ strike.
This blend of discipline, loyalty, and community spirit laid the foundation for a
company built on trust, professionalism, and local pride
As demand grew, Doyle Security quickly secured contracts with major brewing
companies like Whitbread and John Smiths, supporting their modernisation of pubs
and venues across towns and cities. At the same time, the company expanded into
manned guarding services for businesses across Yorkshire.
This segment flourished, leading to long-standing partnerships with local authorities
and privately owned businesses, many of which continue to this day.
In 1996, Shaun passed the leadership to his son, Grant Doyle, who ushered in a new
era of growth and innovation. Under Grant’s guidance, Doyle Security embraced
cutting-edge technology while strengthening its core manned services. Over the next
29 years, the company evolved into a nationally recognised and accredited security
provider.
