From Yard to Road: How CCW Keeps Your Cargo Secure
At CCW, we understand that your cargo isn’t just goods; it’s your livelihood, your reputation, and your peace of mind. That’s why we’ve invested in a multi‑layered security approach that protects your shipments at every stage, from the moment your items enter our yard to the second they arrive at their destination.
Security isn’t an add‑on. It’s built into our people, processes, and technology. This is how we keep your cargo secure, from yard to road.
Uncompromising on-site security
When your cargo is stored at our facility, it’s protected by a robust set of physical and procedural controls designed to prevent unauthorised access and deter criminal activity.
24/7 manned security
Dedicated security personnel are on-site around the clock, actively monitoring the premises and ready to respond to any potential threats. The human element is crucial for identifying and mitigating risks that automated systems might miss.
Controlled perimeter
Our yard is safeguarded by robust perimeter fencing and controlled entry points. This first line of defence makes it difficult for intruders to attempt a breach and ensures every access is intentional and recorded.
Advanced alarm systems
Our site and warehouses are fitted with modern alarm systems. Any attempt to tamper with or breach these defences triggers immediate alerts to our team and, where necessary, local authorities for rapid response.
Comprehensive CCTV coverage
High‑definition CCTV cameras cover all critical areas across the yard and warehouses, providing real‑time monitoring day and night. Footage is recorded and securely stored, creating a clear audit trail and acting as a powerful visual deterrent.
Secure handling and inventory discipline
Security is also about how items are received, handled, and stored. We maintain clear procedures to reduce risk and increase accountability.
Documented intake
Incoming cargo is checked, logged, and labelled to ensure accurate identification and traceability from the outset.
Segregated storage
Where appropriate, goods are placed in designated areas or containerised storage to minimise handling and reduce cross‑contact risks.
Condition checks
We carry out routine checks to confirm the condition and location of stored items, maintaining a high standard of housekeeping and inventory accuracy.
On the move, always monitored
Security doesn’t stop when your cargo leaves the yard. Our road operations combine visibility, discipline, and professional driving standards to keep your goods protected in transit.
Real-time GPS tracking
Every CCW vehicle is equipped with cutting-edge GPS devices, providing live visibility of your cargo’s location throughout the journey. This allows us to monitor progress, provide accurate ETAs, and respond quickly if plans need to change.
Route planning and oversight
We plan routes to reduce avoidable delays and risk, with monitoring of speed, stops, and adherence to schedules. This level of oversight enhances safety, efficiency, and accountability at every mile.
Secure stopping protocols
Our drivers follow strict procedures for rest stops and overnight holds, including secure parking, vehicle lock checks, and situational awareness to prevent opportunistic theft.
Chain of custody
From collection to delivery, we maintain clear records of who handled your goods and when. This transparency builds trust and provides a documented audit trail.
Extra care for high‑value, sensitive, or specialist cargo
Some shipments need additional protection. Whether you’re moving high‑value equipment, confidential materials, or delicate items, we can tailor the security profile to match the risk.

Independent standards and accreditations
Security claims should be backed by independent verification. CCW Services maintains industry‑recognised accreditations and memberships that evidence our commitment to quality, safety, and compliance across removals and storage.
These accreditations help ensure our processes are consistent, audited, and aligned with best practice, giving you added confidence that your goods are being handled and protected to verified standards.
