Teamwork Security and Training Services Ltd is a specialist provider of maritime security, safety and compliance services, with training at the core of everything it delivers. The company works with ports, harbours and marine facilities across the UK and aboard to ensure personnel are competent, confident and compliant in safety- and security-critical roles, while also supporting organisations in meeting national and international regulatory requirements.
Training is the foundation of Teamwork Security and Training Services Ltd’s offering. The company delivers a comprehensive suite of approved and industry-recognised ISPS and safety training programmes, designed to meet the practical needs of port and harbour operations. Courses include Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO) training, search training, security awareness, X-ray operations and Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser (DGSA) training. All training is delivered by experienced practitioners and aligned with current legislation and industry best practice, ensuring delegates gain practical, role-specific knowledge that can be applied immediately within their organisations.
As a Department of Transport Approved Training Provider, Teamwork Security and Training Services Ltd delivers nationally recognised and industry-trusted training. Programmes are tailored where required to reflect the size, risk profile and operational environment of each facility, helping organisations build strong internal capability rather than relying solely on external support.
Alongside training, the company provides specialist support in International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code compliance. Teamwork Security and Training Services Ltd develops and delivers bespoke ISPS compliance solutions, ensuring port facilities meet statutory obligations while maintaining effective and proportionate security arrangements. These solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly with day-to-day operations, strengthening overall security resilience without unnecessary disruption.
To support continuous improvement, the company undertakes independent ISPS audits and exercises, including formal compliance audits, tabletop exercises, and live drills. These activities test security plans, procedures, and staff understanding under realistic conditions, providing assurance to both operators and regulators. Exercises also help identify gaps, improve coordination, and reinforce learning delivered through training.
The company also offers Dangerous Goods compliance monitoring and advisory services, providing ongoing support to ensure continued compliance with relevant legislation. This proactive approach enables clients to manage risk effectively, remain aligned with regulatory changes, and embed safe working practices into routine operations involving the handling, storage, and transport of dangerous goods.
In addition, Teamwork Security and Training Services Ltd delivers Drug and Alcohol Testing services, supporting safety-critical port environments and promoting a strong safety culture.
The company also has extensive experience in the provision of professional security guarding services. Teamwork Security and Training Services Ltd has supplied trained security personnel to a wide range of environments, including police forces, commercial and public events, port authorities and industrial sites. This operational guarding experience directly informs the company’s training and advisory work, ensuring that guidance is grounded in real-world security practice and operational realities.
Proudly owned by Cattewater Harbour Commissioners, the company has an established client base across the UK and abroad. Its clients range from major commercial ports to local authority and regional harbour authorities, including ports across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
